The Master and Fellows of Christ's College would like to announce that Professor Daniel C. Dennett, of Tufts University, Massachusetts, will lecture on Darwin, meaning, and truth, in the Bristol-Myers Squibb Lecture Theatre, Department of Chemistry, Lensfield Road, on 18 May, at 5 p.m. All are welcome.
Applications are invited from suitably qualified applicants for a College Lectureship in French, associated with a Fellowship of Christ's College.
The Lectureship will be fixed term and tenable from 1 September 2005 to 1 August 2010, or for a similar period with dates to be agreed. The successful candidate will also be elected to a Fellowship and will be expected to reside in Cambridge, to undertake at least eight hours of small-group teaching a week for the College during Full Terms (i.e. 160 hours a year), to act if and when required as a College Director of Studies in Modern Languages, and to undertake research. Candidates should normally be able to teach a good range of subjects for Part I of the Cambridge Modern Languages Tripos. The stipend for the Lectureship post will be on a scale in the range of £18,583 to £27,170 (reviewed annually), at an appropriate starting point. The stipend will be subject to a small deduction if the Lecturer is resident in College and may be supplemented by additional teaching, which will be paid for at the normal hourly rates for College supervision.
