The School of Modern Languages and Cultures seeks to appoint a permanent, full-time lecturer in French from October 2014, who is able to make an outstanding contribution to research and teaching in the field of French studies post-1800. The School, comprising Departments of Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Hispanic, Italian and Russian, and the Centre for Foreign Language Study, is one of the most successful Schools of Modern Languages in the UK. It has a strong and vibrant research culture, bringing staff and postgraduates from its constituent departments together in interdisciplinary discussions and collaboration through four research groups, focusing on Culture and Difference; Visual and Performance Studies; Literature, History and Theory; Translation, Linguistics and Pedagogy.
The School is a leading partner in the Institute of Medieval and Early Modern Studies (IMEMS), the Centre for Humanities Innovation, the Centre for Visual Arts and Culture, and the Centre for Medical Humanities, and plays an important role in the University's prestigious Institute of Advanced Study, which promotes world-class research across the Faculties. Expertise in the School covers periods from the Middle Ages to the present and a wide range of cultural and linguistic fields, with visual culture and translation enjoying strong growth in recent years.
