About This Opportunity The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences currently seeks a Lecturer\Senior Lecturer to engage in the undergraduate teaching of art history in the Western Civilisation major. The Western Civilisation major is an interdisciplinary sequence of courses developed by academic staff at The University of Queensland. Taught in small seminars of approximately 10 students, these courses follow a ‘great books’ format and are designed to encourage close reading and critical reflection. As part of the Western Civilisation faculty, you will join an enthusiastic, collaborative teaching team that prioritises student experience and intellectual rigour. Teaching in this major will bring you into contact with some of the brightest and most engaged students that The University of Queensland has to offer.

For US applicants, please note that Australian Universities use British terminology, for example a Lecturer (Level B) position is equivalent to that of an Assistant Professor position in the US. Our Ideal Candidate Alongside the completion of a PhD in the area of Art History (or closely related field), we welcome applications from individuals who demonstrate expert knowledge in the area of Western Art, along with an understanding of Western Art’s intersections with the fields of politics, literature, history and philosophy. Successful Level B candidates will also demonstrate:
In addition to the essentials for Level B above, Level C candidates must have the following:

The position reports directly to the Director of the Program in Western Civilisation and has a functional reporting line to the Head, School of Historical and Philosophical Inquiry or the School of Communication and Arts. We value diversity and inclusion, and actively encourage applications from those who bring diversity to the University.
