Teaching Fellow (Departmental Lecturer) in Economics

The Department of Economics is seeking to employ a Teaching Fellow (Departmental Lecturer-TF/DL) in Economics. The post is tenable for three years, and the successful candidate must be available to start no later than the autumn of 2026, as the role is currently vacant.

The principal task of the Departmental Lecturer will be to work with academic colleagues in the Department of Economics and with professional colleagues within the Saïd Business School to develop teaching materials for the MSc in Applied Financial Economics (MAFE) course. The MAFE is a new hybrid (part on-line, part in-person) degree which is due to take its first cohort of students in 26-27. Much of the academic content, which covers topics in micro, macro and financial econometrics, already exists and is currently being taught on the highly successful MSc in Financial Economics (MFE). However, the content of the MFE, which has been developed for in-person teaching, needs to be adapted to the requirements of high-quality on-line learning. It is this adaptation which will form the bulk of the postholder’s responsibility in the first two years in the post. Afterwards, the postholder will be expected to continuously maintain and review the materials for the MAFE and will also be required to deliver lectures and supervision at other programmes within the Economics Department.

The teaching and supervision load will be 336 ‘stint points’, which is the unit in which teaching and supervision contributions are measured. The total amount of teaching and supervision must not normally exceed this without the approval of the Head of Department.
