Summary
The Department and the Role
This post offers an exciting opportunity to develop internationally excellent research and teaching while providing unrivalled, tailored support for your career progression at an exciting and progressive institution. Given the developmental nature of this role, it is not anticipated that the post will be extended beyond the initial fixed term. Following the end of the term, the role-holder will be in a strong position to apply for relevant permanent academic roles, should they arise, at Durham or elsewhere.
Successful applicants are normally expected to be within 8 years of completing their PhD, although career breaks for parental leave and/or health reasons will be considered. This is because the roles are aimed at early career academics who would benefit from a structured development programme and provision of both formal and 'on-the-job' training. The posts are also open to those who are returning to academia after a career in another sector.
Successful applicants will, ideally, be in post by October 2025. It is a 2-year fixed contract position.
The University provides a working and teaching environment that is inclusive and welcoming and where everyone is treated fairly with dignity and respect. Candidates will be expected to demonstrate these key principles as part of the assessment process.
