The College proposes to appoint a Fixed-Term Fellow in English Literature, 1509-1832. The position, which is strictly temporary, will be tenable for two years from 1 September 2008 until 30 September 2010, renewable for a third and final year until 1 September 2011. The Fellow will be required to undertake tutorial or class teaching of undergraduates up to a maximum of twelve (weighted) hours a week averaged over the three terms of the academic 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 1509-1832, 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). An ability to teach in addition 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 £25,134 to £28,290).
Further particulars may be obtained from the College website (http://www.exeter.ox.ac.uk/news/vacancies) or from the Academic Administrator, Exeter College, Oxford, OX1 3DP, (email 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 12 May 2008. The College expects to shortlist shortly thereafter and to hold interviews in the week of 26 May. 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 opportunity employer.
