4 weeks ago

Oxford, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom University of Oxford Full time

About the role

Applications are invited for a one-year, full-time, fixed-term Departmental and College Lectureship in Medieval History within the University of Oxford, Faculty of History, George Street, Oxford OX1 2RL and in association with Oriel college, Oriel Square, Oxford OX1 4EW. This is an opportunity to join our thriving History community and gain valuable teaching experience at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Although this is primarily a teaching role, you will also engage in advanced study and conduct independent research and play an active role in the interdisciplinary College community. The post is intended to fill a gap in our teaching coverage while Professor Tom Johnson is on research leave.

The Role

The successful applicant will lecture, tutor, and supervise undergraduate and postgraduate students, providing eight hours of tutorial teaching per week for the college over 24 weeks of the academic year, and sixteen lectures per year for the Faculty. A number of these hours will be for other colleges within Oxford. In support of the development of courses and as a secondary commitment alongside teaching, you will manage your own academic research activities, conduct independent research, and generate original ideas to build on existing concepts, and occasionally write research articles for peer-reviewed journals, book chapters, and reviews, and/or give poster presentations or briefings to disseminate research findings at conferences.

About you

You will have a completed doctorate in a relevant field, or evidence that a doctorate is close to completion, e.g., candidates who have submitted their dissertation will be considered, subject to successful examination, and sufficient depth and breadth of knowledge in the subject to develop course materials and research proposals. An aptitude for teaching, both in small-group tutorials and classes and larger-scale lectures; the ability to inspire and enthuse students; and some experience of teaching the Medieval History of the British Isles, and a publication record commensurate with career stage, and familiarity with the existing literature and research in your field, is essential. Experience with undergraduate admissions would be desirable.
