UNIVERSITY LECTURESHIP IN CHINESE HISTORY

The University proposes to appoint a University Lecturer in Chinese History in association with Pembroke College. The appointment will run from l October 2007 or as soon as possible thereafter. The person appointed may be offered a Tutorial Fellowship at Pembroke College.

The Lecturer will be required to give lectures, classes, and tutorials in modern (including the twentieth century) and pre-modern Chinese history; to contribute to the co-ordination of teaching at all levels; and to carry out research, examine and supervise graduate students, and play a part in the administrative work of the Faculty of Oriental Studies. Applicants should have a primary expertise in Chinese History. The successful candidate will have a research specialization in one or more areas of the field of Chinese history, and candidates who work on any period of Chinese history are encouraged to apply. The Lecturer's duties include teaching within his/her own area of specialization, but also require competence to teach over the entire field, including both modern and pre-modern Chinese history, at undergraduate and graduate levels, although a highly specialized knowledge of all periods of Chinese history would not be expected. Applicants should hold, or expect to hold by the start of the appointment, a doctorate in History, Sinology, or a related relevant field and be able to provide evidence of their ability to teach Chinese History, including the use of original sources in Classical and Modern Chinese, at undergraduate and postgraduate level. Substantial publications, or evidence of forthcoming substantial publications, will also be an advantage. The salary will be in the range of £30,650 to £41,191 a year.

Further particulars, including details of how to apply, are available at http://www.admin.ox.ac.uk/fp/, or from the office of the Faculty Board Secretary, Oriental Institute, Pusey Lane, Oxford, OX1 2LE (tel. 01865 288200, fax 01865 278190, e-mail orient@orinst.ox.ac.uk), to whom applications and references should be sent by 26 March 2007. Interviews will be held as early as possible thereafter.

TUTORSHIPS IN FINE ART

The Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art is looking for practising artists and critics to join its teaching team. The School wishes to make either two or three appointments sequentially during 2007.

The School's students and staff would like to work with inspirational tutors who are curious about and alert to the broad concerns of 21st-century artists - people who can demonstrate both an engagement with their own practice and a responsiveness to others' development. The successful candidates will be expecting to question art school orthodoxies, propose fresh approaches to teaching, and to excite fine arts research within a large, multi-disciplinary university.

The posts are available as either 0.50 or 0.75 of full-time, representing either two or three days a week of tutorial teaching during term time, for a fixed term of four years. The salary will be in the range of £25,889 to £31,840 a year (pro rata).

To discuss the posts further, please contact Michael Archer, Head of School (tel. 01865 276940, e-mail michael.archer@ruskin-sch.ox.ac.uk). Further particulars and details of how to apply are available from http://www.admin.ox.ac.uk/fp/, or from Mr D. P. Hyland (tel. 01865 270791, e-mail david.hyland@admin.ox.ac.uk). Applications must be received by 5 p.m. on 15 March 2007. Further information about the School is available at http://www.ruskin-sch.ox.ac.uk/.
