This new post has been established as part of a significant expansion of the activities of the Institute for Manufacturing within the Manufacturing and Management Division.

Applicants should have a broad background in engineering, materials science, or a related discipline, preferably with some industrial experience, and have a proven record of innovative research in manufacturing technology. Areas of interest might include conventional and unconventional machining, forming or joining processes, surface engineering, materials recycling, micro-scale fabrication, and the application of emerging materials.

Appointment at University Lecturer level will be for five years in the first instance, with the possibility of reappointment to the retiring age. The pensionable scale of stipends for a University Lecturer is £21,435 a year, rising by eleven annual increments to £33,058 (under review). Appointment at University Assistant Lecturer level will be for three years, with the possibility of reappointment for a further two years. The statutory limit of tenure of a University Assistant Lectureship is five years, but all holders of the office of University Assistant Lecturer are considered for possible appointment to the office of University Lecturer during the course of their tenure. The pensionable scale of stipends for a University Assistant Lecturer is £18,731 a year, rising by five annual increments to £23,256 (under review).

Isaac Newton Trust Affiliated Lecturer in the Faculty of Classics

The Isaac Newton Trust CTO Scheme

Owing to the generosity of the Isaac Newton Trust, the Faculty of Classics is able to advertise a Newton Trust Affiliated Lectureship, for appointment from 1 October 2001 for up to two years. The terms of the scheme require that Newton Trust Affiliated Lecturers are Fellows of Colleges who are non-University Teaching Officers but who receive their prime stipend from their College for teaching undergraduates.

Newton Trust Affiliated Lecturers are expected to give twenty-four lectures a year for the Faculty, to examine from time to time, to supervise Research Students, and to be involved in Faculty teaching arrangements. Affiliated Lecturers will be paid at the current University hourly rate for lectures given and, in addition, will receive a payment of £500 a year.

The Faculty will be hoping to make an appointment in any area of Classics. As with all appointments in the Faculty, the Newton Trust Affiliated Lecturer will be expected to contribute to language teaching.

Applications, including an up-to-date curriculum vitae, a list of publications, and a letter from the applicant's College, giving approval in principle to participation in the scheme and the name of one referee, should reach the Secretary of the Appointing Committee, Faculty of Classics, Sidgwick Avenue, Cambridge, CB3 9DA, by 28 May 2001. Further information concerning the scheme is available from the Secretary.
