Notes

1. 1.     Lectureships are held from July to June, renewable for up to five years.
2. 2.     The BSHM does not cover travel or other costs, as it is assumed that the schools or other venues issuing the invitation will cover these. 
3. 3.     Lecturers are asked to give a short report each year to Council summarising the number and location of talks given, and digital resources produced. 
4. 4.     Appointees should normally be resident in the UK or Ireland. However, BSHM Council may consider applications from outside the UK and Ireland, and will review them on a case by case basis.  
5. 5.     If you have any queries, please contact the Education Secretary Ciarán Mac an Bhaird.
