Lecteur/Lectrice (Language Teaching Assistant In French x 2

A consortium of seven Colleges of the University of Oxford (Exeter College, Jesus College, Keble College, Magdalen College, Merton College, St Catherine’s College, and Wadham College) seek to appoint to two positions of Lecteur / Lectrice from 14 September 2026 to 31 August 2030. The Lecteur / Lectrice role supports French language teaching across the seven colleges, and during term each appointee will have a main teaching room but will be expected to spend some portion of their working time on site at each College. The appointees will be required to teach spoken and written French at a high level, and must be fluent in the language. Responsibility as lead college will rotate between the consortium Colleges; Exeter College and Magdalen College will be the first two lead Colleges. The appointment is for a fixed term and is non-renewable, because of the need for each Lecteur / Lectrice to be in living contact with the contemporary culture and the current idiom of French-speaking countries.
