Applications are invited for a three-year, fixed-term Departmental
Lecturership in Byzantine archaeology and art, tenable from 1 October
2008. The appointment is for a limited term during the reorganisation of
teaching in this area, and is non-renewable. Applications are welcome from
those with active research interests in Byzantine archaeology and art,
with a preference for the period before 1200.

classes annually, primarily for Masters courses in Late Antique and
Byzantine Studies, together with contributions to undergraduate teaching
in History, History of Art, and Archaeology; supervise graduate students;
