Applications now open for three IMH Co-Directors

Institute Co-Directors play a vital role in shaping and delivering the strategic objectives of the IMH, strengthening the medical humanities research community at Durham and contributing to the broader development of this interdisciplinary field. Co-Directors are also representatives and advocates for the Institute for Medical Humanities in Departmental, Faculty and wider University research settings, making a valued impact within Durham’s research culture and environment.

These roles are ‘tariffed’ at 0.2 FTE and open to academic staff at all career levels. You can find out more about the roles in the job description. 

Please note that these positions are only open to current Durham University staff. 

Applications close Monday 29 September 2025 and interviews will be held on Friday 24 October 2025.

The IMH would also like to take this opportunity to extend our thanks and gratitude to the four Co-Directors who are stepping down from their roles: Sarah Atkinson, Corinne Saunders, Angela Marques Filipe and Sam Halliday.
