A full-time, continuing position is available in the School of Historical
and European Studies at La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia for a Level B Lecturer in History.

The History Program¹s present profile is substantially focused on the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, especially the latter, and there is a desire to extend the chronological range of offerings and to introduce for students the study of periods where treatment of sources requires different skills and an enlarged understanding of different societies over time.

The successful applicant will be responsible for contributing to the teaching program in History, and the teaching of core History subjects at each year level of the undergraduate program, including large first-year subjects on modern Europe or with significant European content.

Applications are particularly welcome from those whose research falls predominantly within periods between the seventeenth and the nineteenth centuries, particularly if they can demonstrate the capacity to develop their teaching and research interests across geographical and/or chronological boundaries so as to contribute to the Program's strategic development and its interests and strengths in diverse fields of History.

Remuneration: Package of $82,624 to $98,114 per annum (inclusive of 17% superannuation).

Closing date for applications: Close of business, Friday, 7 May 2010.
