Balliol College invites applications for a twelve-hour Stipendiary Lectureship in Classics for the academical year 2006-07.
The Lecturer will be asked to teach up to twelve hours of tutorials a week. The College hopes to appoint a Hellenist who would be able to teach the 5th Century Greek Literature and Greek Tragedy options in Greats, and also undertake Greek literature and language teaching for Classics Mods (Homer and Texts and Contexts: see University Regulations at www.classics.ox.ac.uk/ for details). The Lecturer will be expected to assist with the administration of Classics in Balliol, including admissions, and with the pastoral care of students.
The stipend payable to a twelve-hour Lecturer will be on a scale which is currently £18,925 to £21,156 a year, depending on qualifications and experience. The Lecturer will have Senior Common Room rights, including an entitlement to free meals in term and most of the vacation, and the use of a teaching room in College. The College may choose to appoint two six-hour Lecturers in Classics in lieu of a twelve-hour Lecturer: candidates who wish to be considered for a six-hour post should specify this in their application.
Applications containing a curriculum vitae, a statement of research and teaching experience, and the names of two referees should be sent to the Senior Tutor, Balliol College, Oxford, OX1 3BJ, by 7 April 2006. Candidates should ask their referees to write directly to the Senior Tutor by the same date; it would be helpful if at least one referee could comment on the candidate's teaching experience and abilities. It is expected that interviews will be held on 21 April 2006.
Prospective applicants can contact Dr Rosalind Thomas (e-mail rosalind.thomas@balliol.ox.ac.uk) or the Senior Tutor (e-mail senior.tutor@balliol.ox.ac.uk) for more details.
