Murray Edwards College invites applications for a College Lectureship in Spanish from 1 October 2024. The post will be tenable for two years in the first instance, at which point the appointee will be eligible for a tenured permanent post.  The successful candidate will be elected to an Official Fellowship of the College.

The College has a continuous tradition of excellent teaching and research in Modern and Medieval Languages and Linguistics, with pioneering figures Dorothy Gabe Coleman and Lorna Close remembered in the titles of college funds to support these subject areas. The College admits an average of 4 students to read Spanish in a cohort of about 8 students studying Modern Languages every year.  The successful candidate will join a supportive and committed group of fellows in MMLL. The students also form a strong community within the College and we benefit from contact with a diverse range of alumnae.  Students and Fellows contribute to the Gabe Society, which organises events for the MMLL community.  

The duties of this role are outlined in the further particulars.

Murray Edwards College is committed to supporting Fellows’ research; Fellows can apply for up to £800 a year to support research expenses.
