St Peter’s College and the Faculty of History are seeking to recruit an Associate Professor (or Professor) of Medieval History. The post is available from 1 September 2027 (or as soon as possible thereafter).
Applications are invited from well-qualified candidates with a research specialism in the political, institutional or social history of Britain and Ireland in the period 900 to 1250 which will complement, rather than replicate, existing expertise in the Faculty of History in religious, cultural and intellectual history.

They will conduct advanced research in their specialist field and will contribute to Oxford’s vibrant research culture. They will inspire and enthuse students through research-led teaching and will supervise, support and examine students at undergraduate and graduate levels. They will play a full and active role in the academic and administrative life of both the Faculty and the College.
The combined College and University salary will be on a scale from £58,354 to £78,121 p.a. In addition, Official Fellows of St Peter’s College receive a taxable Housing Allowance (currently £12,034 p.a.).
