Crynodeb
Full-Time, Fixed-Term (12 months)
Applications are invited for a fixed term (12 months) teaching focused post in Human Geography at Lecturer level in the Department of Geography, Royal Holloway University of London.
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 2018 the Department was awarded the Athena SWAN Silver Award from the Equality Challenge Unit, recognising exceptional commitment and excellence in the advancement of gender equality.
The successful candidate will engage with and extend the work of the Department’s Social, Cultural and Historical Geography Group (SCHG) and/or the Geopolitics, Development, Security and Justice Group (GDSJ). 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 GDSJ Group represents a significant cluster of academics in the UK working on critical issues across political, development and social geography, as well as developing interdisciplinary connections to international relations, cyber security, development studies, anthropology, disaster studies, health and others. 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 related to the potential teaching areas of the post. Specifically, potential teaching areas include second year teaching in GG2052 Political Geography and 2053, Cities and postgraduate teaching on the MRes programmes, as required. In addition, the postholder will contribute to the 1st year tutorial program and undergraduate and potentially MRes dissertation supervision, as required.
The successful applicant will join one of the UK’s strongest Geography Departments, situated with the School of Life Science and the Environment, with research specialisms in cultural and historical geography, geopolitics and security, development and environmental justice, and Quaternary Science. High scores in the National Student Survey (91% overall satisfaction in 2024) 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:
