Applications are invited for the Hopkins Parry Fellowship in Law with effect from 1 September 2006 or such other date as agreed. This post has been created through the generosity of the alumni of the College and other donors in recognition of the vital roles of Professor Clive Parry and Mr John Hopkins, both former Law Fellows of the College, in nurturing the study of Law at Downing. The person appointed will be responsible, with the Director of Studies in Law, for the academic work of the College's undergraduates in Law. The appointment will be for three years initially with the possibility of renewal to the retirement age. The appointment is subject to the Statutes and Ordinances of the College. The successful candidate will be expected to reside in Cambridge, to undertake an average of twelve hours of teaching a week during Full Term (at least 240 contact hours a year), and to participate in the life of the College. Candidates should normally be able to provide supervisions in two or three of the courses within the Law Tripos, with particular preference for teaching in Land Law, Law of Contract, Roman Law, Family Law, and Commercial Law. The salary will be on an incremental scale between £25,565 and £36,960 a year (reviewed annually in line with national academic stipends).
Application forms and further particulars relating to the post can be obtained from the Senior Tutor, Downing College Cambridge, CB2 1DQ (e-mail ceb34@cam.ac.uk), to whom completed applications and a curriculum vitae should be returned by 9 December. Further information about the College is available on the College website at http://www.dow.cam.ac.uk/. It is anticipated that interviews will take place early in January 2006.
