Stipendiary Lecturership in History

Christ Church invites applications for a two-year fixed-term Stipendiary Lecturership in History commencing 1^st October 2023. This is a temporary position to fulfil a current teaching need. It is envisaged that teaching arrangements for History will be reviewed at the end of this period, therefore, the appointment carries with it no expectation of permanent employment at Christ Church.

The Lecturer will be expected to deliver nine hours per week of high-quality tutorial teaching, averaged over three eight-week terms per year and weighted in accordance with the Senior Tutors’ Committee recommendations, to undergraduates on the History and Joint Schools degrees. Details of all courses can be found at www.history.ox.ac.uk.

The successful candidate will be expected to teach:

• British History 2 (c. 1000-1300) and/or British History 3 (c. 1330-1550) for both Prelims (1st years) and Final Honour School (2nd years)
• European and World History 2 (1000-1300) for Prelims and one or more European and World History paper(s) for the Final Honour School
• One or more Optional, Further, or Special Subject, depending on the lecturer’s area of expertise.

The Lecturer will also be expected to take part in the teaching of Disciplines of History to second and third year students and to supervise undergraduate dissertations that fall within their area of research. 

The salary will be in the range of £21,572 to £24,261 (current rates) per annum pro rata, according to qualifications and experience. New appointments are usually made at the first point of the scale.

Applicants should have evidence of the skills needed for higher education teaching in tutorial or small group settings, a research record commensurate with the stage of their career; and have a doctorate, or evidence that one will be substantially complete before the start date in History, or a closely related field.

Further particulars, including instructions about how to apply, may be downloaded from www.chch.ox.ac.uk/vacancies. The deadline for applications is 12:00 noon on Monday 17^th April 2023.

Applications are particularly welcome from women, and black and minority ethnic candidates, who are under-represented in academic posts in Oxford.

It is our policy and practice that entry into employment and progression within employment will be determined only by criteria which are related to the duties of a particular post and the relevant salary scale. No applicant or member of staff will be treated less favourably than another because of their age, disability, ethnicity, marital or civil partnership status, parental status, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation.
