The Department for Continuing Education specialises in providing quality education to adult learners and is seeking a Departmental Tutor to teach the ‘Global Renaissance.’ Candidates will be well-qualified academically with experience of teaching and researching at university level. The minimum qualification required is a PhD or equivalent experience in museum curation.

Each year the Department for Continuing Education offers some 1,000 courses and has some 20,000 students. Many of these courses are credit bearing, open access courses, mainly taught by part-time tutors. In addition to our open access courses, the Department offers opportunities for students to progress to award-bearing programmes at undergraduate and graduate level. 

We are seeking a part-time tutor to teach on our courses in the History of Art, with a specialism in the History of Art of the Global Renaissance. The successful candidate would teach on our part-time award-bearing courses, including the Certificate and Diploma modules (first-year undergraduate level (FHEQ level 4) and second-year ( FHEQ level 5) respectfully). In addition, the successful candidate might be required to teach across our wider provision, including short weekly classes, the day and weekend programme, and summer schools. Tutors’ duties include teaching face to face and online, marking and providing feedback on assessments, and providing supervision. The teaching sessions for the 2025-2026 academic year will take place on Tuesdays from 2pm-4pm, Wednesdays from 10am-12pm in Ewert House and select Fridays from 10am-5.30pm at Rewley House and in museums. 

We are specifically seeking a candidate whose research and teaching engages with current critical and theoretical debates in the discipline, and who has excellent teaching and pedagogical skills. The candidate’s research should focus on the art of the ‘Global Renaissance,’ specialising in transcultural material culture and art in the early modern world. Candidates will need to be able to teach on Italian Renaissance art in a global context. We encourage applications from scholars whose research and teaching engage with issues such as imperial and colonial histories and legacies; materiality and making; gender and sexuality; ecology and the environment; race and racialisation; or class, poverty and inequality and whose work and teaching takes a transnational or cross-cultural approach.

 

We expect interviews to take place shortly after the closing date.

 

Essential Criteria:

Relevant postgraduate qualification (such as a doctorate) or equivalent professional experience

Experience of teaching and assessment

Demonstrable familiarity with the existing literature and research in the field of Global Renaissance studies
