The Faculty of History is seeking applications for the Eleanor Rathbone Professorship of Contemporary European History, available from 1 October 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter.

 

This new senior post is intended to reinforce Oxford’s reputation as a major centre for research and teaching in the field of Contemporary European History. In particular, it will extend expertise into the history of the European present, by developing new teaching provision, and research-led scholarship, on the history of the final decades of the twentieth century and the early decades of the early twenty-first century.

 

The Rathbone Chair has been named in honour of Eleanor Rathbone to mark her lifelong work and engagement with issues of contemporary European politics and social inequality. The professor will be based at St Antony’s College, where they will maintain and develop the legacy of the work and scholarship undertaken on the contemporary history of Europe by Professor Timothy Garton Ash. It is therefore intended that the professor will be a scholar who will combine innovative scholarship and teaching with a wider profile of intellectual engagement.

 

The Rathbone Professor will be expected to lead the growth of Contemporary European History within Oxford, including new teaching options on recent and current European history, funded grant applications, workshops, public events and outreach, broadly defined. An important element of the post would be to work with colleagues in the organising and direction of Contemporary European History teaching and research within the History Faculty.

 

We wish to appoint a committed historian who will be able to shape this new field. You should possess an excellent record of innovative archival research using one or more European languages; a significant record of publications; the capacity to lead and inspire others; and an ability to communicate the importance of historical issues for an understanding of the contemporary identity of Europe.

 

The closing date for applications is 12:00 noon UK time on Monday 3 February 2025. Interviews are expected to be held in March 2025.

 

Informal enquiries are welcome and may be made in strict confidence to Professor Martin Conway, Chair of the History Faculty Board (martin.conway@history.ox.ac.uk).

"""Job Description and Selection Criteria Post Eleanor Rathbone Professor of Contemporary European History Department/Faculty Faculty of History Division Humanities College St Antony’s College Overview of the role This new senior post is intended to reinforce the Oxford History Faculty’s established reputation as a major centre for research and teaching in the field of Contemporary European History. In particular, the post is intended to extend the Faculty’s expertise into the history of the European present, by developing new teaching provision, and research-led scholarship, on the history of the final decades of the twentieth century and the early decades of the early twenty-first century. The Rathbone Chair has been named in honour of Eleanor Rathbone to mark her lifelong work and engagement with issues of contemporary European politics and social inequality. The postholder will be based at St Antony’s College, where they will maintain and develop the legacy of the work and scholarship undertaken on the contemporary history of Europe by Professor Timothy Garton Ash. It is therefore intended that the holder of this post will be a scholar who will combine innovative scholarship and teaching with a wider profile of intellectual engagement. Central to the definition of this new post is its geographical and chronological scope. In geographical terms, the post is open to scholars with a scholarly expertise on any area of Europe. However, it is intended that the work of the postholder should engage with the evolving frontiers, and definitions, of Europe which developed around the fulcrum year of 1989.We are therefore particularly eager to invite applications from scholars whose work engages with the inter-relationship between different areas of Europe, and between Europe and the global world of the twenty-first centuryIn this way, we intend that the post should serve as a bridge between Euro-centric definitions of the European past and the emphatically global reality of 21st-century Europe.Equally importantly, the position will serve to extend the chronological expertise of the Faculty. The existing postholders (including the Chair in Modern History, Professor Patricia Clavin) predominantly focus in their work and teaching on the central decades of the twentieth century, reflecting the prominence of those years in established narratives of Europe’s recent past. However, Contemporary History now concerns the era beyond the twentieth century, and a major benefit of this appointment will be the opportunity it will provide to engage with the history of the European present. The postholder will therefore be a historian whose work will embrace the final decades of the twentieth century (from the late 1960s onwards) while also providing the Faculty with a new focus on the emergence of the rather different Europe that developed in the early years of the twenty-first century. This will enable the Faculty to develop undergraduate and graduate papers (and provide supervision expertise) on the early decades of the present century. In order to achieve these ambitions, we wish to appoint a distinguished, energetic and committed historian who will shape this new field. You will possess an excellent record of innovative archival research using one or 1 more European languages; a significant record of publications; the capacity to lead and inspire others; and an ability to communicate the importance of historical issues for an understanding of the contemporary identity of Europe. To that end, you will have a profile of engagement with scholarly initiatives within your field, as well as wider public debates. If appointed, you will be expected to lead the development of major new projects which will support the growth of Contemporary European History within Oxford, including funded grant applications, workshops, course design, public events and outreach, broadly defined; and, along with colleagues, to play an active part in the organising and direction of Contemporary European History within the History Faculty, including taking on roles relating to research, teaching, the organisation and convening of seminars, student admissions, and student progression. In Oxford there is a considerable community of historians working on modern European history. These include Paul Betts, Venus Bivar, Patricia Clavin, Martin Conway, Abigail Green, Ruth Harris, David Hopkin, Matthew Kerry, Kate Lebow, Julia Mannherz, James McDougall, Alexander Morrison, Marc Mulholland, David Priestland, Catherine Schenk, Nick Stargardt, Natalya Vince, and Zbig Wojnowski. Further details of their research can be found at https://www.history.ox.ac.uk/academic. In addition, the Faculty has a large number of graduate students working on a wide range of Masters and doctoral theses in contemporary history, as well as a number of postdoctoral and visiting scholars working in the field. Moreover, teaching and research on European History in Oxford is not a self-contained field. Much of the work undertaken by historians of Europe incorporates wider regional and global contexts, and there are strong links with colleagues in other disciplines and units of the university, including International Relations and Area Studies. The Rathbone professor will contribute to undergraduate teaching, including undergraduate thesis supervision and undergraduate lectures, on the Oxford History syllabus. In addition, you will work with colleagues on developing new options on the Masters courses in the Faculty. You will also attract and supervise high-quality graduate students at the Masters and DPhil levels. The postholder will be a Fellow of St Antony’s College, and will participate in its lively and interdisciplinary activities in the field of the contemporary history, politics and economics of Europe. In particular, you will be a member of the European Studies Centre of the College, which organises a wide range of seminars and workshops, as well as providing a focus for doctoral students, postdoctoral scholars, and visiting academics working on issues of Europe’s contemporary society and history. As such, you will be required to participate in the direction of the Centre, including serving, when required, as its Director. More details of its activities are available at: https://www.sant.ox.ac.uk/european-studies/european-studies-centre. This post is a statutory professorship (for a description of the different types of academic posts at Oxford, please see https://hr.admin.ox.ac.uk/academic-posts-oxford). There are currently 12 statutory professors in the History Faculty. Statutory professors are expected to take a prominent part in the wider administration and leadership of the Faculty, serving regularly on the History Faculty Board, and being prepared to hold major offices within the Faculty. Applications for the post are particularly welcome from women and from black and minority ethnic candidates, who are under-represented in academic posts in Oxford. The History Faculty won a bronze Athena SWAN award in 2019 after a rigorous process of self-analysis. We are fully committed to creating an environment in which everyone can fulfil their potential: more details on the Faculty’s work on equality, diversity and inclusivity are provided below. If you would like to discuss this post and find out more about joining the academic community at Oxford, please contact the Chair of the History Faculty Board, Professor Martin Conway (martin.conway@history.ox.ac.uk).

December 2024 6 The Faculty of History The Faculty of History in Oxford is the largest in the UK, and one of the largest in the world. It has a very strong international reputation for its scholarship and its teaching of undergraduate and graduate students, with particular strengths that reach from late Roman times to the contemporary world, in the history of the British Isles, the history of continental Europe, imperial and global history, the history of the United States, economic and social history, intellectual history, and the history of science, medicine, and technology. Within the Faculty there is also a department for the History of Art. With the size of its History Faculty, its lively and varied research seminars and the major resources for research, which include, among others, the outstanding collections of the Bodleian Library and the University museums, Oxford offers a uniquely attractive research environment. The Faculty of History provides a robust and supportive framework for research, including: • • • • • • • Financial support for research travel, research assistance, and editorial help; A standard sabbatical leave system, with the possibility of additional special leave; Peer mentoring and career development review of research plans and progress; Research collaborations with other institutions; Energetic encouragement and support of externally-funded research projects, and for internal and interdisciplinary collaborations, through research centres; Support of, and engagement with, interdisciplinary teaching; Assistance in the formulation of research plans and funding bids. The Faculty enables all its postholders to request up to £800 per year for research expenses, and makes additional funds available for organising conferences in Oxford. Annual career conversations identify those staff who may need extra support in achieving their research objectives, e.g. through relief from teaching or administrative burdens. Postholders can apply for seed-corn funding for specific research projects from the University’s John Fell Fund, which can then help applicants to secure major external funding. In addition, to assist newly-appointed postholders in the development and publication of their research, Faculty funds are available for each new postholder to hold a workshop at which colleagues can discuss drafts of their monograph in gestation. The Faculty has received an Athena SWAN bronze award (2019), and we seek to provide a fully equal, inclusive and diverse environment for staff and students alike. There are working groups on gender equality, race equality and equality for people with disabilities, and an Equality and Diversity Committee which considers and implements policy. The Faculty has measured its performance against the recommendations of recent Royal Historical Society reports on gender and race equality and we regularly and actively implement policy to address inequalities. For more information about the Faculty please see www.history.ox.ac.uk or contact the chair of the Faculty Board, Professor Martin Conway (martin.conway@history.ox.ac.uk). Humanities Division The Humanities Division is one of four academic divisions in the University of Oxford, bringing together the following faculties: Asian and Middle Eastern Studies; Classics; English; History; Linguistics, Philology and Phonetics; Medieval and Modern Languages; Music; Philosophy; Theology and Religion; the Ruskin School of Art. The Division has over 500 members of academic staff, approximately 4,100 undergraduates (more than a third of the total undergraduate population of the University), 1,000 postgraduate research students and 720 students on postgraduate taught courses. December 2024 7 The Division offers world-class teaching and research, backed by the superb resources of the University’s libraries and museums, including the famous Bodleian Libraries, with their 11 million volumes and priceless early book and manuscript collections, and the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology. Such historic resources are linked to cutting-edge agendas in research and teaching, with an increasing emphasis on interdisciplinary study. Our faculties are among the largest in the world, enabling Oxford to offer an education in Arts and Humanities unparalleled in its range of subjects, from music and fine art to ancient and modern languages. The Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities (TORCH) is the Division’s vehicle for promoting interdisciplinary collaboration, international networks, and public engagement with research, with a highly active programme of events, fellowships, and research networks. The current TORCH Director is Professor Christine Gerrard (Professor of English Literature). The Humanities Division has embarked on a major building project on the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter, following the recent announcement of the £175 million gift to create the Stephen A. Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities. The Schwarzman Centre will serve as a dynamic hub dedicated to the Humanities. The building will bring together seven Humanities faculties, the Humanities Divisional Office, a new library and significant cultural and public engagement spaces in a space designed to encourage experiential learning and bold experimentation through cross-disciplinary and collaborative study. The Schwarzman Centre’s public and performance spaces will also host the new Cultural Programme, working with outstanding artists, writers and thinkers from around the world to create and present world-class arts and culture in collaboration with university, local, national and international partners. The Faculty of History will move to the Schwarzman Centre upon the completion of the project. For more information on the Humanities Division please visit: www.ox.ac.uk/divisions/humanities.html. St. Antony’s College St Antony's College is one of the seven colleges of the University of Oxford which admit graduate students only. St Antony’s chosen field is the interdisciplinary study of the modern history, politics, international relations, economics, sociology and culture of the regions of the world. It provides an informal and multicultural environment for advanced research and postgraduate education and has become the leading European centre for international studies, competing with the best graduate schools in the United States. Like other Oxford colleges, the College is an independent self-governing institution. Its Governing Body consists of around 40 Fellows and is chaired by the Head of the College (known as the Warden). The Fellows are distinguished scholars in their chosen fields and most of them hold senior academic posts in the University. Each conducts their own research programme and almost all of them supervise postgraduate students from St Antony’s and other colleges. Some Fellows teach undergraduates as well and also take part in University and College administration. The current Warden, Professor Roger Goodman, was a student at the College. Immediately before becoming Warden, he was Head of the Social Sciences Division at Oxford between 2008 and 2017. He was Chair and President of the Academy of Social Sciences between 2016 and 2021. The College has seven regional research centres, which cover Africa, Asia (except Japan), Europe, Japan, Latin America, the Middle East, Russia and the rest of the former Soviet Union. Most of the Centres are based on the College’s campus in converted Victorian houses. Each Centre is run by a Centre Director who is normally a Governing Body Fellow of the College.

Oxford’s researchers engage with academic, commercial and cultural partners across the world to stimulate high-quality research and enable innovation through a broad range of social, policy and economic impacts. Oxford’s self-governing community of international scholars includes Professors, Associate Professors, other college tutors, senior and junior research fellows and a large number University research staff. Research at Oxford combines disciplinary depth with an increasing focus on inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary activities addressing a rich and diverse range of issues. The current strategic plan can be found at http://www.ox.ac.uk/about/organisation/strategic-plan-2018-23. Oxford’s strengths lie both in empowering individuals and teams to address fundamental questions of global significance, and in providing all staff with a welcoming and inclusive workplace that supports everyone to develop and do their best work. Recognising that diversity is a great strength, and vital for innovation and creativity, Oxford aspires to build a truly inclusive community which values and respects every individual’s unique contribution. While Oxford has long traditions of scholarship, it is also forward-looking, creative and cutting-edge. Oxford is one of Europe's most entrepreneurial universities. It consistently has the highest external research income of any university in the UK (the most recent figures are available at www.ox.ac.uk/about/organisation/financeand-funding), and regularly creates spinout companies based on academic research generated within and owned by the University. Oxford is also recognised as a leading supporter of social enterprise. Oxford admits undergraduate students with the intellectual potential to benefit fully from the small group learning to which Oxford is deeply committed. Meeting in small groups with their tutor, undergraduates are exposed to rigorous scholarly challenge and learn to develop their critical thinking, their ability to articulate their views with clarity, and their personal and intellectual confidence. They receive a high level of personal attention from leading academics. Oxford has a strong postgraduate student body who are attracted to Oxford by the international standing of the faculty, by the rigorous intellectual training on offer, by the excellent research and laboratory facilities available, and by the resources of the museums and libraries, including one of the world’s greatest libraries, the Bodleian.
