The Courtauld Institute of Art is the UK’s leading institution for teaching and research into the History of Art and the conservation of paintings.

Following the forthcoming retirement of Professor Paul Crossley, The Courtauld seeks to appoint a permanent full-time lecturer in the history of medieval architecture and/or sculpture.  In addition to a strong research profile within their own field(s) of expertise, candidates will be expected to demonstrate an active engagement with theory and methodology, and a capacity to establish and sustain new intellectual configurations within and without the Institute.  A further essential qualification is the willingness to teach across period and/or geographical boundaries and to engage with historians of non-Western art.  The ability to develop BA courses related to The Courtauld Gallery collections will be an additional desideratum.  The minimum requirements for the post are a PhD or DPhil and some teaching experience.

We are looking for a scholar who will attract significant numbers of MA and PhD students of the highest calibre, and who will enhance The Courtauld’s reputation for innovative teaching and ground-breaking research.  The selectors will place considerable emphasis on publications and future research plans.  They will be looking for strong indications of the capacity to initiate collaborative research; candidates should also be able to outline viable topics for collaborative research grant applications.  The starting date for this lectureship is September 2011.
