Stipendiary Lecturer in German

The Queen’s College seeks to appoint an eleven-hour Stipendiary Lecturer in German for one year from 1st October 2023 (as cover for sabbatical leave). The successful candidate will be responsible for providing eight hours a week of undergraduate tuition in German at Queen’s, and three hours a week for the Faculty of Modern Languages (Sub-Faculty of German). (Hours are averaged over the academic year).

The successful candidate will be expected to teach the following papers: Prelims (first year) Papers II (translation into English, and perhaps translation into German), III (commentary on poems and set texts), IV (three plays, four narrative texts and a film from the period 1890-1930). And Final Honour School Papers II (translation into English), VIII (Literature and culture from 1770 to the present day), X (Modern Authors: currently Goethe, Hoffmann, Heine, Ebner-Eschenbach, Rilke, Kafka, Brecht, Bachmann, Jelinek, the Berlin School of film-makers – the successful candidate would be expected to teach at least one of these, perhaps two).

We are committed to fostering equality, diversity and inclusiveness. We particularly encourage applications from women, disabled people and people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds, as these groups are currently under-represented in the College's academic staff.
