The College proposes to appoint a six-hour Stipendiary Lecturer in Politics for the academical year 2009-10, whilst Dr Paul Martin, the College's Fellow in Politics, is on leave.
The Lecturer will be required to give six hours a week of tutorials during the eight weeks of Full Term (the College allows stipendiary lecturers to 'weight' their hours and thus required real contact hours may be slightly less). The Lecturer will be expected to teach the greater part of the Politics Prelims paper for PPE (Theory and Practice of Democracy) and History and Politics (Analysis of Democratic Institutions), and to be prepared to teach at least one core paper in Politics other than International Relations, and one or more option paper(s). In addition, the Lecturer will be expected to lead in the running of Politics in the College, including participating in the admissions process, arranging teaching, setting, and marking of College examinations, and assisting with the pastoral care and academic oversight of all undergraduates reading Politics.
The annual stipend for the post will be on a scale starting at £12,076 a year and will be pensionable. The Lecturer will be a member of the Wadham Senior Common Room, and will be entitled to three meals a week during term time free of charge, and will be paid a small allowance to entertain undergraduates as part of regular pastoral contact.
Further particulars are available at http://www.wadham.ox.ac.uk/. The closing date for applications is 12 March 2009.
