Keble College is seeking to appoint a Chaplain for a five-year period with effect from 1 September 2010 or as soon as possible thereafter. The person appointed to the post, which is non-renewable, would be a Fellow of the College and a member of the Governing Body. He or she must be in Anglican orders, and will be responsible for the conduct and oversight of services in the College Chapel and for pastoral care among all members of the College. There is a lively Chapel community and the College is committed to inclusivity and openness; both the most recent Assistant Chaplains have been women. The Chaplain is also secretary of the Advowsons Committee, which is responsible for the College livings.
It is intended that the post offers opportunities suitable for someone at a relatively early stage in their ordained ministry, and the College welcomes applicants who wish to combine it with advanced study or research.
Further details may be obtained from the College website (http://www.keble.ox.ac.uk/) or from the Warden’s PA, Keble College, Oxford, OX1 3PG (tel. 01865 272700, email trish.long@keble.ox.ac.uk).
Candidates should ask three referees to send references direct to the Warden’s PA. The closing date for applications and receipt of references is 12 April 2010. Interviews will be held on 4 May 2010.

Applications are invited for a fixed-term Stipendiary Lecturership in nineteenth and twentieth century English for one year from 1 September 2010 to replace a current post-holder taking sabbatical leave. Precise details of the teaching required are set out in the further particulars. Other duties may include supervising undergraduate dissertations, and teaching visiting students.

The appointee will provide an average of six to nine hours’ teaching a week (in pairs, or small classes) averaged across three terms, depending on the teaching expertise of the candidate.
Candidates should have a good first degree in English and have, or be close to completion of, a Doctorate in English. Some teaching experience would be an advantage. The salary for a nine-hour post is on a scale from £18,114 to £20,387 a year depending on qualifications and experience, or pro-rata if a reduced teaching load is agreed.
Further particulars and application information are available from the College’s website (http://www.pmb.ox.ac.uk/Fellows_staff/staff/vacancies/index.php) or the Academic Office (academic.office@pmb.ox.ac.uk). The closing date for applications is Friday, 19 March.

The Governing Body invites applications from graduates of any university for election to a Junior Research Fellowship in Music. The successful candidate will take up the Fellowship on 1 October 2010.
Junior Research Fellowships are intended to support those at an early stage of their academic careers, and will normally be awarded to candidates who have recently completed their doctoral research, or are close to completion. Candidates must not have accumulated more than six years in full-time postgraduate study, research, or academic employment (not necessarily continuous), nor have already held a research fellowship elsewhere.
The basic stipend of the Fellowship, which is pensionable under the Universities Superannuation Scheme, is currently £17,092. The Fellow will be entitled to free rooms in College (or in approved cases to an allowance of £3,444 in lieu), and to free meals in College. The Fellow may, with the leave of the Governing Body, engage in teaching up to a maximum of six hours weekly and, if teaching, would normally be expected to give priority to the College’s own teaching needs.
The closing date for applications is 9 April 2010. Further details are available on the College website at http://www.queens.ox.ac.uk/vacancies/ or from the Academic Administrator, The Queen’s College, Oxford, OX1 4AW (email particulars@queens.ox.ac.uk).
St Hilda’s College invites applications for a fixed-term Beale Fellowship in Psychology, from 1 September 2010. This post combines a new College teaching position, based on a four-hour Stipendiary Lecturership in Psychology, with an existing post in Psychology at the University of Oxford (either a stipendiary research post or a Departmental Lecturership). The successful candidate will be a Fellow of the College and a member of the Governing Body. He or she will provide four hours a week of teaching in tutorials and classes for the degree courses in Experimental Psychology, Psychology with Philosophy, and other relevant degree courses for which the College admits. In addition he or she will set and mark College examinations, participate in the routine administration of Psychology at St Hilda’s, take part in undergraduate admissions, assist with pastoral care of undergraduates reading the subject, and act as College Adviser to postgraduate students (maximum four students).
As stated above, candidates will already have a stipendiary research or departmental position in Psychology at the University of Oxford. This post will be coterminous with the successful candidate’s existing contract. Candidates should have a Doctorate in an appropriate subject, and a proven record of research and teaching. The starting salary for the post is £8,797 to £9,061 a year (in 2009–10 terms), depending on qualifications and experience, and membership of the USS pension scheme is offered. The Beale Fellow in Psychology will have full entitlement to common table in College. Housing, research, and entertainment allowances are also offered, as well as access to a teaching room.
Further particulars, including details of how to apply, are available from the Academic Registrar, St Hilda’s College (college.office@st-hildas.ox.ac.uk) and from the St Hilda’s College website at http://www.st-hildas.ox.ac.uk/. The closing date for applications and the last date for receipt of references direct from referees, is Friday, 26 March 2010. It is hoped to hold the interviews during the week of 3 May 2010.
