Applications are invited for a College Lectureship in English, associated with a Fellowship of Christ's College. Applications are welcome from candidates working in any field of English Literature; preference may however be given to those working in the period 1350-1550 or post-1700.
The College Lectureship will be tenable from 1 October 2004 for five years. The successful candidate will be expected to reside in Cambridge, to undertake at least eight hours of teaching a week for the College during Full Term, to act as Director of Studies in English if required, and to undertake research.

The basic stipend may be supplemented by additional teaching, which will be paid at the normal hourly rates for College supervision.
