Exeter College proposes to appoint a fixed-term Fellow in English Literature, 1509-1900. The position, which is strictly temporary, will be tenable from 1 October 2005 until 30 September 2006. The Fellow will be required to undertake tutorial or class teaching of undergraduates, of up to a maximum of twelve (weighted) hours a week averaged over the three terms of the academical year, to set and mark College examinations, and to participate in the admissions process. The College has a preference for applications from those able to teach the whole of the range 1509-1900, but particularly important is an expertise covering Final Honour School papers 2 (Shakespeare), 4 (1509-1642), and 5 (1642-1740), and any special authors or special options falling within these periods. Also, an ability to teach FHS Paper 6 (1740-1832) will be considered an advantage. The Fellow will be paid at a point on the fixed-term Fellows' scale, points 1-4, commensurate with experience (currently £21,640 to £24,820).
Further particulars may be obtained from the College website at http://www.exeter.ox.ac.uk/news, or from the Academic Administrator, Exeter College, Oxford, OX1 3DP (e-mail academic.administrator@exeter.ox.ac.uk). Applications, including a curriculum vitae and the names of two referees, should be received by the Academic Administrator not later than 27 May. The College expects to short-list shortly thereafter and to hold interviews in the week of 13 June. Referees should be asked to write without request from the College, their letters to be received by the Academic Administrator not later than the closing date.
Exeter College is an equal opportunities employer.
