**The School**

**Russian Studies**

Russian Studies at Durham University is one of the best performing academic units with this specialism in the UK. It is consistently placed among the top-ranked equivalent departments in major national league tables. In 2024, it was ranked 3rd in the Good University Guide, contributing strongly to Durham University’s top-20 placing for Arts and Humanities in the THE World Reputation Rankings.

There are currently eight full time members of staff in Russian Studies at Durham, not including doctoral researchers and honorary staff. Staff specialise in a wide range of research topics in Russian, Soviet and post-Soviet culture and history including poetry, musical culture, cinema and the visual arts, literary and critical theory, history of the sciences and professions, material culture, gender, and historical linguistics. This expertise is reflected across a wide range of general and specialist undergraduate modules. Staff in Russian also contribute to the cross-cultural taught Masters programmes offered by the School and supervise PhD and Masters by Research projects on Russian, Slavonic, and Russophone-related topics.

Russian language courses are taught at all levels, from beginners to advanced, by highly experienced language instructors. In the first year, students who have no prior experience of studying Russian take an intensive ab initio course; those with an A-level or equivalent in Russian are enrolled on an intermediate course. Both strands build on this in the second-year core language courses, intensive for the post-beginners and standard for the post-A-level cohort. All students then normally spend their third year abroad in a Russian-speaking country currently at one of our partner institutions in the Baltic states, Georgia, or Kyrgyzstan. In the final year, in addition to the core language option, students can take an optional language course in Russian for Professional Communication.

**The Role**

Applications are invited for a Teaching Fellow in Russian Studies. You will have excellent Russian and English language skills and research expertise and teaching experience in Russian Studies. You should be able to teach Russian literature, culture, and history in a holistic way across different periods, with particular emphasis on the 19th and 20th centuries.

If successful you will be fully integrated in the Russian Studies team within Durham University’s School of Modern Languages and Cultures and you will be expected to contribute to the delivery of teaching on the relevant programme, to include curriculum development, the convening of modules, and all aspects of assessment.

Teaching Fellowships offer the opportunity of valuable experience to those early in their academic careers and the University is keen to maximise the benefit to as many people as possible. The post of Teaching Fellow will involve a significant teaching load, which may extend into the summer period, and there may be related scholarship and the opportunity for administrative duties which relate to education and pedagogy.

This 0.5 FTE post is for a fixed term of 24 months only and is funded by a Leverhulme Trust award. It is not anticipated that the post will be extended beyond this fixed term. The successful applicant will ideally be in post by 1 May 2024 (or as soon as possible thereafter). They will not be expected to teach during the summer of 2024, but the early start will allow them to fully prepare for teaching in the 2024/2025 academic year.

The post is for a fixed term only, and it is not anticipat
