The University of Sheffield will appoint two Lecturer posts with proven, exceptional research and teaching abilities: a Lecturer in History and Digital Humanities, and a Lecturer in Archaeology and Digital Humanities. Applications from candidates who specialise in any field of History or Archaeology, including Cultural Heritage Studies, will be considered. For both posts, applicants will also need to be able to evidence an applied knowledge and understanding of relevant digital methods within their field (e.g. digitisation, data mining, semantic annotation, mapping and spatial analysis, 3D imaging, extended and virtual reality etc).

The successful applications will play a full role in developing the research profiles of History, Archaeology and the Digital Humanities. They will deliver teaching on existing programmes within the Digital Humanities Institute, History and Archaeology, and develop new taught modules that apply Digital Humanities methods. They will play an active role in university life, providing pastoral support to tutees, supervising dissertations, marking student work, and undertaking a variety of  leadership and administration roles at departmental or faculty level.
