Fitzwilliam College invites applications for a College Lecturer to undertake College teaching with effect from 1 October 2007. Applications are welcome from candidates working in any field of Law. The Lectureship is for a fixed period of five years and is not renewable. The appointment is subject to the Statutes and Ordinances of the College.
The College Lecturer will be appointed at a salary of £22,111 with annual increments up to £26,402; the stipend can be pensionable under USS. Cost of living increases in College stipends are made at the same time as comparable increases in University stipends. The successful candidate will be elected to a Fellowship of the College, with which further obligations and privileges are associated.
Candidates must have, or expect to obtain by the time they take up the post, a postgraduate (LL.M., B.C.L., Ph.D. or equivalent) and/or professional (Barrister or Solicitor or equivalent) qualification in Law. However, they should not by then have completed five years of academic employment following the qualification. The reason for this restriction is that the post is intended to give someone near the beginning of an academic career an opportunity to acquire training and experience that will lead to a permanent appointment in Cambridge or another leading university.
Before applying, candidates should obtain the further particulars from the website at http://www.fitz.cam.ac.uk/vacancies, or send a stamped-addressed envelope to the Master's Secretary, Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge, CB3 0DG. Applications should be sent to the Master no later than 16 November 2006. The College follows an equal opportunities policy. Applications for part-time (or job share) appointments will be welcomed.
The Fitzwilliam College Foundation Lecture 2006, entitled Antarctica - closer than you think, will be given by Professor Chris Rapley, CBE, Director of the British Antarctic Survey, on 16 November, at 6 p.m., in the Auditorium, Fitzwilliam College. The Lecture is open to members of the University and others who are interested.
