By working together, we expand access to outstanding higher education and resources, and extend their benefits to learners and researchers across the UK and around the world.

The Role

Are you interested in rethinking Roman frontiers through material culture, heritage practice, and public engagement?

We are inviting applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Roman Archaeology to join Connective Frontiers: Inclusive Heritage of Roman Frontiers, a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship hosted at the Institute of Classical Studies (ICS), School of Advanced Study, University of London.

This post, offered in partnership with English Heritage, is an exciting opportunity to apply your research expertise to an interdisciplinary and intersectoral project that brings together archaeological research, heritage interpretation, and contemporary debates around borders, identity, imperialism, and decolonial approaches. The role is designed for a motivated early career researcher who is keen to develop intellectually ambitious research while gaining experience beyond the traditional academic environment.
