4. a statement of your research interests and future research plans (of no more than 1000 words);
5. two samples of recent work (not exceeding 20,000 words in total);
6. the names and addresses of three referees who are familiar with your work. Please ask your referees to submit their references directly to by the closing date.

NB. The salary offered will be within the first three points of the salary range advertised (i.e., £46,735-£49,559 per annum), due to the funding available for the post.

This post is fixed-term for 12 months or the return of the post holder, whichever is the earlier.

The closing date for applications is midnight (BST) on Sunday 27 July 2025.
