Chancellor's Fellowships
The School of Divinity at the University of Edinburgh intends to appoint three Chancellor's Fellows in the coming months, with the aim of having the positions start in September 2012.
- Chancellor's Fellowships (5-year, full-time, tenure-track)
- Salary Scale:: £36,862 - £44,016 GRADE: UE08
- Closing Dates: 16 January, 29 February and 16 April 2012
- Vacancy Reference: 3015150
These prestigious awards are aimed at early career scholar-teachers of the highest potential who have begun to establish a reputation for research at the forefront of their discipline and who have a commitment to teaching at the university level. The Fellowship will be held for 5 years, subject to satisfactory review at the end of year 3, and the Fellow will then move to a standard University academic open-ended contract.
The first year of the Fellowship will focus on establishing the Fellow‘s research programme, with a limited amount of teaching. Fellows will be expected to submit an appropriate number of high quality research submissions to REF2014. Teaching and administration will gradually increase over the 5-year period to that of a normal academic load in the School of Divinity.
Normally a Fellow appointed from or shortly after their PhD will be appointed on the Grade 7 scale, whereas those with postdoctoral experience would normally be appointed at grade 8. Current Salary Scales are: Grade 7: £29,972 - £35,788; Grade 8: £36,862 - £44,016.
The School of Divinity has identified three priority areas in which new appointments are needed, and we expect to appoint a Chancellor's Fellow in each of these areas. The priority areas are as follows.
- Christian Ethics and Practical Theology (including pastoral theology, worship, liturgy, political theology and theological ethics);
- Religious Studies (any substantive field or tradition in the Study of Religions that can enhance and extend the existing subject area profile, including strong theoretical and methodological interests);
- World Christianity (including historical, theological and social scientific perspectives on Christianity in the non-western world; applications from candidates with interests in Asian Christianity will be particularly welcome).
Candidates should apply online via the University of Edinburgh recruitment website and enclose a detailed CV and a one page outline of a proposed research programme. We encourage applications, if possible, for the first of the advertised closing dates: 16 January 2012.
The School of Divinity is located within the College of Humanities and Social Science, and you should indicate clearly in your application that you are applying through the College of Humanities and Social Science, by citing the reference number as below:
