The University of Warwick History Department seeks to appoint an Assistant Professor in the field of European History in the 19th Century. Applicants who work on the United Kingdom must demonstrate substantial and ongoing research on at least one other European country. Applicants may be interested in a wide range of European topics – the consolidation of Napoleonic and/or post Napoleonic Europe, the negotiation of Great Power dominance by weaker states, cross-European migration, social and intellectual movements, western and Ottoman/North African relations, Mediterranean colonialism, etc. Disciplinary interests are likely to bring together elements from different strands of intellectual, cultural, social and political history. It is expected that the successful applicant will participate in negotiating and challenging boundaries between scholars of the early modern and modern period.

Applicants should demonstrate a substantive commitment to the study of some area of 19th century Europe not centered on the UK; an academic background appropriate to contributing courses in 19th century European history; a strong interest in working with the History Department’s research centres, especially the European History Research Centre, to promote research with a strong European dimension, and the Global History and Culture Centre, examining relations of the European metropole with the wider world; and a good record of publication (appropriate to career stage) of high standard in the field of European History.

The University of Warwick History Department has a long tradition of strength in European History. This currently lies especially in the early modern period, the 18th Century, and the modern period. It also has considerable strengths in North and Latin American history, and wider world and global history. The Department believes that the field is ripe for development as new perspectives from transnational history to intellectual and cultural history re-engage our connection with 19th century Europe.

Please direct all informal inquiries to Professor Daniel Branch, Head of Department, at D.P.Branch@warwick.ac.uk.

The closing date for applications is 26th November 2015, and interviews are to be held on Friday 15th January 2016. Full advert and how to apply are available online.
