18/19C American history post @branchuk.bsky.social @baasusso.bsky.social

NB - I know the short turnaround time for the application is awkward and can look a bit fishy, but the post has gone through internal and redeployment portals already so it is a genuinely open call.

No point pretending otherwise - the situation is pretty rough here. What I can say with certainty, though, is that we have amazing colleagues and students across the School of History, Ancient History, Archaeology, and Religion. The students and colleagues make it an amazing place to work.

Feels a bit absurd to be promoting this, but there's a 12 month 18/19th C American history post at Cardiff. Deadline 15.06.25. Feel free to msg or contact me via email - doddingtond@cardiff.ac.uk - for further information: krb-sjobs.brassring.com/TGnewUI/Sear...
