The College proposes to elect a Lecturer in French for one year from 1 October 2009; depending on circumstances, it may be possible to extend the appointment for a further year. The Lecturer will be required to teach for nine hours a week and the basic stipend will be £18,114 a year (point 1 of the Stipendiary Lecturers' scale), together with certain other allowances.
The successful candidate will be required to provide teaching for Paper III in the Preliminary Examination, and to provide teaching in the Final Honour School on a range of authors and topics in French literature in the period 1715 to the present, depending on the successful applicant's areas of expertise. A small amount of teaching may also be required in the area of translation into English. The person appointed will also be expected to play a full part in the admissions process.
It is a requirement of the post that the successful candidate agrees to provide twelve hours of teaching a week in Michaelmas Term 2009, the teaching stints for Hilary and Trinity Terms 2010 being therefore in the region of seven to eight hours a week.
Further particulars and application forms may be obtained from the Academic Administrator, The Queen's College, Oxford, OX1 4AW, or from the College website (http://www.queens.ox.ac.uk/vacancies/). The closing date for applications is noon on Thursday, 9 April 2009. Interviews will be held on Tuesday, 28 April 2009.

The successful candidate will have an expertise in modern British history, including in particular the ability to teach the papers British History VI (1815-1924) and British History VII (1900 to the present).
