Applications are invited for a fixed-term Departmental Lectureship in Ancient Philosophy, associated with a fixed-term College Lectureship at Corpus Christi College. Both the Lectureship and the Fellowship are for the period 1 April 2007 to 30 September 2008, and are not renewable. Applicants should have a record of excellent research in Philosophy. The successful candidate will be expected to give 24 lectures a year on topics in Ancient Philosophy, to give an average of six hours a week of tutorials and classes during term time for the College, to undertake a limited amount of graduate supervision, and to participate in examining and administrative duties as required. The salary will be in the range of £20,044 to £26,470 a year (under review).
Further particulars are available from the Faculty of Philosophy's website at http://www.philosophy.ox.ac.uk/, or from the Administrator, Faculty of Philosophy, 10 Merton Street, Oxford, OX1 4JJ (tel. 01865 276928, fax 01865 276932, e-mail enquiries@philosophy.ox.ac.uk). There is no application form. Applications (six copies except from candidates overseas who need send only one) should include a curriculum vitae, a list of publications, a description of the subjects the applicant is qualified to teach, an account of his or her research interests, and the names and contact details of two referees. Applications should be received by mail, fax, or e-mail by the Administrator at the above address not later than 8 September 2006. Candidates should ask their two referees to write to the Administrator by the same date.
Applications are invited for a fixed-term, part-time Lectorship in Spanish. The post is available from 1 October 2006, or as soon as possible thereafter. The appointee will be required to give classes in essay-writing, in translation from English into Spanish, in the oral use of Spanish, and in the development of Spanish language skills; to take part as an additional examiner in oral examinations (for which additional payment will be made); to participate in a two-day intensive course once a year at the beginning or end of a vacation (for which additional payment will be made); and to provide reports for tutors. Applicants should be fluent in Spanish to native-speaker level, and should have been recently resident in a country where Spanish is an official national language. They should have a good command of English, and experience of teaching Spanish at an appropriate level, together with an interest in working with a range of modern techniques of language teaching. Applicants must be graduates of a university in a country where Spanish is an official national language; a university qualification in languages or language teaching would be an advantage.
This is a fixed-term post in order to ensure that undergraduate students have contact with an individual who is able to demonstrate recent immersion in the Spanish language and in Hispanic culture. In view of this, the post is not normally tenable for a period of more than 45 months. The salary will be up to £17,436 a year, pro rata (under review).
The closing date for applications is noon on 14 July 2006. Further particulars can be downloaded from http://www.mod-langs.ox.ac.uk/, or are available on request from Ms Margaret Pinsent, Faculty of Medieval and Modern Languages, 41 Wellington Square, Oxford, OX1 2JF (tel. 01865 270755, e-mail recruitment@mod-langs.ox.ac.uk).
