cultural heritage, particularly in community-based or practice-led 
heritage studies, as well as experience in public engagement and 
co-creation with cultural institutions, will be considered an asset. 
Candidates should demonstrate a strong interest and expertise in 
contemporary cultural practices and academic debates, along with some 
knowledge of Hong Kong culture and/ or a keen interest in digital 
humanities.  An ideal candidate should bring innovative research that 
aligns with the department’s established strengths in critical 
approaches and contributes to the university’s strategic focus areas.____

The appointee is expected to teach at BA, MA and MPhil/PhD levels. 
Applicants should submit an online application with the following 
documents: 1) a cover letter; 2) a full curriculum vitae; 3) one sample 
course outline related to the above areas; 4) one writing sample; and 5)

Appointment will normally be made on contract basis for up to 3 years 
initially commencing August 2026. Subject to budget, performance and 
mutual agreement, this position may lead to longer-term appointment or
