The Department of History at the University of Southampton invites applications to a Lectureship (Level 4) in Modern Global History (late Twentieth/Twenty-First Century) available from 1 January 2016 on a fixed-term basis, for two years in the first instance. We welcome applications that will enhance the Department’s existing strengths in Modern History (for further details, see our website at http://www.southampton.ac.uk/history/). The teaching consists of a first year module (War on Terror 1979-present), a second year double module (The Evolution of US Counterterrorism, 1979 – present), and a third year special subject on US Imperialism, 1941 – present.
