We have particular expertise in historical and modern sociolinguistics, modern literature (the novel, poetry and drama, especially in the classical age, the long 19th century, the 20th century and the post-Wende and contemporary periods), the history and politics of Germany and Austria since 1800 (particularly the political East), German children's literature, exile writing, transnational German-language studies and memory studies. We benefit from strong links with partner universities and research centres in Germany and Austria.

    We welcome applications from graduates wishing to pursue custom-designed research programmes. Interdisciplinary and cross-language research is particularly encouraged and supported across the

We will help develop your full range of academic skills, including publication, and we may be able to offer opportunities for undergraduate teaching after your first year.
