St Hilda's College proposes to elect an Official Fellow and Tutor in Medieval French Language and Literature, with effect from 1 October 2004, or as soon as possible thereafter. This is intended to be a permanent appointment. Only women are eligible to hold Fellowships at St Hilda's College. This is a provision of the College Statutes made under the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge Act 1923, and remains lawful by virtue of section 5 (3) of the Employment Act 1989. The Fellowship will be held in conjunction with a Titular University Lectureship (CUF); no separate application for this title is required.
The successful candidate must be actively engaged in research in any area of Medieval French Literature. She must be able to lecture and to supervise graduates in her field, and to teach literature of the period up to 1530, including Medieval prescribed texts, to College undergraduates. An ability to teach aspects of French Linguistics may be an advantage.
