Stipendiary Lecturership in Early Modern History

St Hugh’s College proposes to appoint a part-time (0.5 FTE) Stipendiary Lecturer in Early Modern History, to start on 1 October 2026. This appointment is to fulfil temporary teaching needs including those arising from a postholder’s leave or buyout and is non-renewable. The teaching ‘stint’ will be an average of five contact hours per week during the three eight-week terms of the year, and an extra salaried ‘stint’ hour will be included to give time for scholarship.

The basic stipend of the Lecturer will be between £16,904 and £18,669 (National Pay Spine Points 23-27), including the recently introduced Oxford University Weighting. Benefits include membership of the Senior Common Room (for which there is a modest annual subscription) and to four free meals per week at the common table while working in weeks 0-9 of each term.

The appointee will contribute to History teaching at St Hugh’s and must be able to teach for both the Preliminary Examination (first-year students) and Final Honour Schools (second- and third-year students). They should be able to offer both British and European Early Modern outline papers, as well as teaching on topics in Historiography and/or Approaches to History and Disciplines of History. It would also be expected that the appointee would help with Thesis supervision where they have relevant expertise. An ability to contribute to popular first-year Optional Subject teaching would be an advantage.

Please see the Job Description for further details and selection criteria.

The deadline for applications is noon on 1 May 2026. Materials (cover sheet, CV, application letter) should be sent to academic.recruitment@st-hughs.ox.ac.uk.

Informal enquiries may be made to Professor Jon Parkin (jon.parkin@st-hughs.ox.ac.uk) or to the Senior Tutor (senior.tutor@st-hughs.ox.ac.uk).
