The Governing Body of Trinity Hall is seeking to appoint a College Teaching Officer in English and Fellow from 1st September 2023.

Teaching at Cambridge University is provided by the University and also by the colleges. The majority of college Fellows are holders of university posts, taking on additional college responsibilities for which they usually receive extra remuneration. However, Cambridge colleges also appoint College Teaching Officers, who not only provide core undergraduate teaching for the college (or sometimes for other colleges under reciprocal arrangements) but also act as Directors of Studies and assume other college offices and duties as appropriate. If the opportunity arises, College Teaching Officers may also lecture and teach for the University, which is separately remunerated.

Details of the post

The main duties include teaching undergraduates on a range of subjects covered in Parts I and II of the English Tripos. The postholder will be expected to teach for 12 hours a week during term-time. A list of the papers taught can be found in the further particulars here.

The successful candidate is to engage in independent research in their specialist area and to publish the fruits of that research.

They will act as a Director of Studies in English.

The interview

Interviews will take place at Trinity Hall in Cambridge on Friday 12th May 2023.

It will begin with a brief presentation aimed at introducing a first-year student audience to a new literary topic, to be selected by the candidate. There will also be an observed teaching exercise. Further details will be provided to shortlisted candidates.

The appointments committee will comprise members of the academic staff and Fellowship, and a representative of the faculty.

Accommodation in College may be provided for the night prior to the interview, subject to availability.
