Associate Professor in Modern Chinese and East Asian History

We are looking to appoint an Associate Professor in History with research and teaching expertise in Modern Chinese and East Asian History between c. 1850 and c. 1960s. The appointee will be able to contribute to the faculty and university’s research and teaching strengths in the fields of modern Chinese history, East Asian history, global and imperial history and/or economic history. In their research and/or teaching interests, the appointee should have a focus on the history of China and its adjacent territories within that period. This might include the history of the Japanese empire in China, but this is not intended to be a post on the domestic history of Japan (which is covered in other ways within the Faculty). Above all, we are eager to appoint a historian of China with a wide understanding of the history of the region, and of China’s connections to its regional neighbours (e.g. in Southeast or Northeast Asia).
