About us:
The Department of Classics at King’s is one of the largest, most prestigious and innovative centres for the study of antiquity in the UK. Our scholarship encompasses all aspects of the Graeco-Roman world, including reception and legacy. In REF2021 the department was ranked first equal on the grade point average of our overall quality profile.
About the role:
The Department of Classics at King’s College London is seeking to appoint a full-time, permanent lecturer specialising in Greek Art. Applications are sought from candidates with recognised expertise in the visual and material culture of the mid-first millennium BCE in the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean. Evidence of engagement with the wider Afro-Eurasian context of classical Greek art and/or its later reception would be an advantage, fitting with the department’s commitment to a broader approach to the past via our new BA and MA in Classics and the Ancient World.
You will teach on our first-year survey module, ‘The Art and Archaeology of Ancient Greece and Rome’, and develop new modules in your area of specialism for second- and third-year undergraduates as well as for our masters programmes. You will contribute to the planning, organisation and delivery of other teaching activities at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, including fieldtrips to classical lands. You will assume pastoral and administrative responsibilities, have excellent interpersonal skills and a collaborative ethos, participating actively in the life and culture of the department. You will conduct and publish high-quality research in the art of the mid-first millennium BCE, seek external research funding and make a strong contribution to the Department of Classics’ REF2029 submission. You will engage in impact-generating activities and collaborate with the creative industries and other external partners to bring Greek art to broader audiences.
This is a full-time post (35 Hours per week) and you will be offered an indefinite contract.
