Join to apply for the Professor in Pre-Modern Heritage Collections role at Durham University

As part of Durham University's strategic Heritage 360 (H360) initiative, the Department of History seeks to appoint an outstanding candidate to the role of Professor in Pre-Modern Heritage Collections. The successful candidate will have research and teaching expertise in both medieval and early modern collections history, and demonstrable familiarity with heritage science. The successful applicant will have an outstanding record of research, substantial grant capture, collaborative working within and without academe, and agenda-setting leadership. They will have the ability to teach at all levels, and a proven commitment to academic citizenship. Contribution to any relevant MA programmes for CPD relating to H360 will also be expected in the role.

H360 is funded through Durham University's Strategic Research Fund. Drawing together research on natural and cultural heritage, H360 will have senior posts in several academic departments. The postholder in History will be expected to bring leadership across disciplines. External grant capture is a key part of the scheme and candidates will be expected to have well-advanced plans for grant applications, and to respond to opportunities for wider sources of funding (including philanthropic). H360 is challenge-led with active involvement from platform partners from the UK Heritage sector. Outreach and engagement with communities (local/global) is also encouraged, as part of the university's civic obligations, to promote further the work of the platform, and for access to wider community learning and collaboration.

Durham University History is one of the larger departments in the UK, and we are consistently ranked amongst the top departments in the country by the Complete University Guide, the Times and Sunday Times, and the Guardian University Guide. We place research at the very heart of our programmes, inducting our students into a community of historians from the outset. Our research and teaching extend from late antiquity to the present, and we are home to scholars of Europe, Africa, Asia and North America, and of social, cultural, political, economic, religious, intellectual, environmental and gender history.

Durham University has an outstanding reputation in the field of medieval and early modern studies, and the Department is closely involved in the interdisciplinary Institute of Medieval and Early Modern Studies, whose research strategy dovetails with that of H360. Durham also holds excellent resources for the study of heritage collections, and demonstrable capacity to work with our collections is essential. Departmental colleagues work closely with Library and Collections staff. There are also strong links with the Centre for Visual Arts and Cultures, the Centre for Catholic Studies, and the Centre for Ancient and Medieval Philosophy, as well as with departments across the university's three faculties. Our postgraduate students and post-doctoral researchers are also active in this interdisciplinary environment. We are currently home to students funded by two doctoral training centres, the AHRC Northern Bridge Partnership and the ESRC NINE DTP.
