About You
You will have a research specialism in Roman imperial history and the ability to teach Roman history including via texts in the original Latin.
You will organise and teach the term-long first-year undergraduate core module Roman Culture and Society (including sessions on study skills), and convene and teach an Honours-level optional module each year. In the first year this will be ‘The Transformation of Roman Society Under Augustus’.
In the second year you will be given the opportunity to teach a Roman History module of your own devising, in consultation with the Head of Department.
You will offer classes on Latin texts relevant to the Honours-level modules you teach to students with advanced Latin.
You will mark exams and assessed work as required. You will need experience in classroom teaching, as well as in marking, supervising, and offering constructive feedback.
This is an excellent opportunity for a candidate with existing teaching experience to expand their experience within a supportive department, with undergraduates from a wide variety of backgrounds. You will devise your own teaching materials within the scope of the current prescriptions for these modules.
You will be involved in many aspects of the departmental life, tracking students’ progress, participating in staff meetings and Open Days, and assisting in our engagement work with local schools and the wider public. You will be expected to be available to students 3 days a week in the department during term time. You will also have the opportunity to gain experience in academic administrative roles by acting as personal tutor to students, and through undertaking administrative duties, as reasonably requested by the Head of Department.
