The Department of Economics wishes to receive applications from suitably qualified individuals for the post of University Lecturer in Economics (four posts).
The University Lecturerships are tenable from 1 October 2009. These posts are permanent, subject to satisfactory completion of a review of the initial five-year period of office. Each University Lecturer will provide lectures, supervise graduate students, and engage in research within the Department of Economics, and undertake College tutorial duties. The successful candidates must have a proven high standard of research and teaching and be capable of providing graduate supervision. Candidates should have completed their doctorate and applications from candidates with previous experience in academic positions are particularly welcome. Positions are available in all areas of economics.
Successful candidates will be appointed on the Oxford Lecturer scale up to a joint maximum of £56,917 a year. The University Lecturerships are associated with Tutorial Fellowships at Corpus Christi College, Jesus College, St Hilda's College, and University College. Full details of College stipend and additional allowances are provided in the further particulars for each post.
Applicants should visit the Department of Economics website (http://www.economics.ox.ac.uk/) prior to completion of the online application form and the submission of any material to the Department.
Representatives of the Department will be attending the American Economic Association winter meeting in San Francisco in January 2009, and preliminary informal interviews may be arranged.
The closing date for applications is 28 November 2008.
The University proposes to appoint two University Lecturers in English literature of the nineteenth century and of the twentieth to twenty-first centuries, from 1 September 2009 or as soon as possible thereafter. One post will be associated with a Tutorial Fellowship at Mansfield College and will have a research focus on nineteenth century English literature. The second post will be associated with a Tutorial Fellowship at The Queen's College and will have a research focus on twentieth to twenty-first century English literature. Both post-holders will be expected to teach undergraduates across the two periods (1800 to the present day). An additional research and teaching interest in American or world literature may be an advantage. The salary for both posts will be on a combined University and College scale from £42,351 to a maximum of £56,917 a year. Significant additional College allowances are set out in the further particulars.
The successful candidates will have an excellent record of teaching and research in the relevant period. Each post-holder will be required to provide 36 lectures per year or equivalent (in seminars and classes) for the English Faculty; to provide, for every week of Full Term, six hours per week of tutorial teaching or equivalent for the College; to undertake examining and graduate supervision; and to contribute to administration in the College and Faculty.
Further particulars, which all applicants are asked to consult, can be downloaded from the University website (http://www.admin.ox.ac.uk/fp/) or from the Faculty website (http://www.english.ox.ac.uk/).
Applicants are invited to apply for either or both of the posts, although separate applications should be made for each post, and applicants should make it clear in their application which post they are applying for. Applications, including a curriculum vitae, a list of principal publications, and the names of three referees, should be sent by post to the English Faculty Office, St Cross Building, Manor Road, Oxford, OX1 3UQ (email english.office@ell.ox.ac.uk) for receipt no later than noon on Friday, 12 December 2008. Candidates wishing to have an informal discussion about either of the posts may contact Dr Sally Mapstone, Chair of the English Faculty Board (tel. 01865 281146, email sally.mapstone@ell.ox.ac.uk).
