Right to work: Applications from job seekers who require sponsorship to work in the UK are welcome and will be considered alongside all other applications. For further information visit the UK Visas and Immigration website.
Applications are invited for a fixed term (7.1 months) teaching-focused post in Human Geography at Lecturer level in the Department of Geography, Royal Holloway University of London. This post is a combination of maternity cover and funds related to teaching buyout on a Leverhulme trust funded fellowship.
The successful applicant will join a department with an outstanding reputation for its teaching and student support, with some of the very strongest ratings for student satisfaction (NSS) in the UK. They will be dynamic and enthusiastic with the ability to inform and inspire students, and a strong commitment to excellence in teaching. The Department has a strong community ethos, and mentoring and further training will be available to the successful candidate. In 2023 the Department’s Athena SWAN Silver Award was renewed, recognising exceptional commitment and excellence in the advancement of gender equality.
While this is a teaching-focused position, the successful candidate will be able to participate in the activities of the Department’s research groups, particularly the Social, Cultural and Historical Geography Group (SCHG). The SCHG Group has played a leading role in the development of the subject in the UK, working across themes of place, landscape and mobility, creative and collaborative geographies, transnational material cultures, visual cultures of exploration, print culture and travel, sacred spaces, multi-culturalism and urban modernities. The Department also leads the Centre for GeoHumanities, a major initiative linking arts and humanities scholars and practitioners, geographers and the creative, cultural and heritage sectors. It showcases and fosters work with an arts and humanities orientation on issues that have a strong geographical resonance, such as space, place, landscape and environment.
Applicants should demonstrate appropriate expertise in Human Geography with particular strengths in cultural geography and the ability to contribute to postgraduate teaching on the MRes programmes, as required. In addition, the postholder will contribute to the 1st year tutorial programme, an undergraduate fieldtrip and undergraduate dissertation supervision, as required.
The successful applicant will join one of the UK’s strongest Geography Departments, specialisms in cultural and historical geography, geopolitics and security, development and environmental justice, and Quaternary Science. High scores in the National Student Survey are combined with research excellence, with the Department ranked 5th in the UK in the 2021 Research Excellence Framework.
In return we offer a highly competitive rewards and benefits package including:
* Generous annual leave entitlement
* Training and Development opportunities
* Pension Scheme with generous employer contribution
* Various schemes including Cycle to Work, Season Ticket Loans and help with the cost of Eyesight testing.
* Free parking
The post is based in Egham, Surrey where the University is situated in a beautiful, leafy campus near to Windsor Great Park and within commuting distance from London.
This is a fixed term post to cover a period of maternity leave until April 2025. This appointment could end earlier than expected should the substantive post-holder return to work early.
For an informal discussion about the post, please contact the Head of Department, Professor Simon Blockley at simon.blockley@rhul.ac.uk of the Departmental Undergraduate Education Lead, Professor Katie Willis at katie.willis@rhul.ac.uk.
For queries on the application process the Human Resources Department can be contacted by email at: recruitment@rhul.ac.uk
