Stipendiary Lecturership in Computer Science (six weighted hours, two year fixed-term contract)

Christ Church invites applications for a two-year fixed-term Stipendiary Lecturership in theoretical Computer Science. This is a temporary, fixed-term position to fulfil the college teaching need in expectation of a new Tutorial Fellow in Computer Science being appointed for the 2027 to 2028 academic year. Therefore, the appointment carries with it no expectation of permanent employment at Christ Church.

The Lecturer will be expected to deliver six weighted hours of teaching per week, averaged over the three eight-week terms of each academic year (commencing 1 October 2025).

The successful candidate will be able to teach Discrete Mathematics, Design and Analysis of Algorithms, Models of Computation, and Algorithms and Data Structures. The exact courses tutored may vary but would likely consist of these.

The salary will be in the range of £16,569 - £18,308 (current rates) per annum, according to qualifications and experience.

The successful candidate will have a doctorate, or at least a substantial part of one complete, in Computer Science or a closely related field. Evidence of the skills for successful tutorial teaching, including the ability to explain problems and ideas lucidly, listen to students’ questions and views sympathetically, and enthuse and inspire them is essential.

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.
