Applications are invited from suitably qualified men and women for a one-year stipendiary Lectureship in German, with effect from 1 October 2005. The Lecturer will be required to give 12 hours of teaching a week to undergraduates at Brasenose, Merton, and Pembroke Colleges. The person appointed must be able to prepare students for the preliminary examinations at the end of the first year (requiring the study of literary set texts and grammar revision) and to teach at least substantial parts of Papers VIII and X. These involve a range of literary authors and topics in the period from 1760 to the present day, and a group of authors prescribed for special study (see http://www.mod-langs.ox.ac.uk/guides/2002/German.pdf). The successful candidate will also be required to undertake a certain amount of language teaching, to assist with the administration of Modern Languages in Brasenose, Merton, and Pembroke Colleges, and to assist with the pastoral care of students and the undergraduate admissions process in the three Colleges.
The salary, which is pensionable under USS, will be according to qualifications and experience within the range of £18,374 to £20,540 a year. Further particulars, including benefits and allowances, may be obtained from the College website or from the College Secretary, Brasenose College, Oxford, OX1 4AJ (tel. 01865 277823, e-mail college.office@brasenose.oxford.ac.uk). Applications (original plus four copies), with details of teaching experience, career, research, publications, and the names and addresses of three referees, should be sent to the College Secretary, Brasenose College, Oxford, OX1 4AJ. Applicants should ask their referees to write directly to the College Secretary. The deadline for both references and applications is 30 June.
