For more information about the MPLS division, please visit: www.mpls.ox.ac.uk St Edmund Hall The College’s roots are in the 13th Century, making it one of the oldest educational institutions now within the University of Oxford. It is the only medieval academic Hall to have preserved its identity; the ancient name of ‘Hall’ has been retained to reflect its long history and pre-collegiate university roots. At Oxford, the collegiate university comprises the colleges collectively associated with the academic departments and central offices. However, in legal, financial, and organisational terms each college is an independent corporation, self-governing and self-contained. The current Principal, Professor Baroness Katherine Willis, joined the Hall in October 2018. St Edmund Hall occupies a historic site in the middle of Oxford, just off the High Street. The College community has around 80 Fellows (around half of which form the Governing Body), and around 450 undergraduate and 260 postgraduate students and up to 38 Visiting Students, in addition to administrative and domestic staff. The Queen’s Lane main site accommodates many of our facilities, including the administration offices, Fellows’ rooms, the Senior, Middle and Junior Common Rooms, two Dining Halls and student accommodation. Our library is also on this site, occupying the beautiful former church of St Peter-in-the-East. We have further extensive student accommodation properties in north Oxford (in and around Norham Gardens) and east Oxford (in Iffley Road and Dawson Street). The college admits six undergraduates for Chemistry each year and has a small community of around ten graduate students undertaking doctoral research. The appointee will be responsible for teaching Inorganic Chemistry to our undergraduates, and will work closely with Professor David Manolopoulos, FRS, Tutorial Fellow in Physical Chemistry. Further information on St Edmund Hall can be found at www.seh.ox.ac.uk. About the University of Oxford Oxford’s departments and colleges aim to lead the world in research and education for the benefit of society both in the UK and globally.

Re-election to the College Fellowship at the end of the initial five-year period will be subject to satisfactory reports on the discharge of College and Faculty responsibilities, especially as regards tutorial teaching, in accordance with College By-Laws. If the Fellow should vacate the Associate Professorship, or other University office on which the holding of this Fellowship is dependent, the Fellowship must thereupon be vacated. Official Fellows hold their posts on the basis of the statutes and by-laws of the College which can be found on the College’s website (www.seh.ox.ac.uk). There are tax-free allowances for entertainment (student headcount-dependent, but typically around £500) and research (currently £1,750 per annum). An office, which may be shared, will be available on the main College site. A taxable and pensionable housing allowance, currently £11,000 per annum, is paid to Tutorial Fellows who do not live in College accommodation. 12 MPLS APTF JD 2023 There is a right to ‘Common Table’, which means that lunch and dinner are provided free of charge on weekdays when the College kitchen is open. The College sabbatical leave scheme allows Official Fellows to apply for one term’s absence after six terms of service, two terms after 12 terms, or three terms after 18 terms. There is normally no deduction from stipend. Offer of employment Applications for this post will be considered by a selection committee containing representatives from both the Department of Chemistry and St Edmund Hall. The selection committee is responsible for conducting all aspects of the recruitment and selection process; it does not, however, have the authority to make the final decision as to who should be appointed. The final decision will be made by the MPLS Divisional Board and the Governing Body of Trinity College on the basis of a recommendation made by the selection committee. No offer of appointment will be valid, therefore, until and unless the recommendation has been approved by both the divisional board and the governing body, and a formal contractual offer has been made. 13 MPLS APTF JD 2023 Benefits of working at the University Employee benefits University employees enjoy generous holiday and pension schemes, travel discounts, and a variety of professional development opportunities.

The University side is represented by an Associate Professorship. The appointee is selected and funded jointly by the College(s) concerned and by the relevant division of the University. The joint appointment system is an unusual arrangement in research-intensive universities. Its central feature is that academics of major research reputation are attached to particular Colleges as Tutorial Fellows, where they are members of an interdisciplinary community of moderate size. In those Colleges they teach, and arrange teaching for, a small cohort of very able undergraduates in tutorials (teaching sessions with one, two, or three students) and small classes, monitoring their progress individually over the whole of their course. They also have responsibility for advising a certain number of graduate students in their subject area within their College. Tutorial Fellowships thus hold a key place in the intellectual culture of the collegiate University of Oxford. This document, adopted by the Conference of Colleges, aims to set out the main features of Tutorial Fellowships, and the expectations that Colleges will generally have of Tutorial Fellows. The duties of a Tutorial Fellow are not confined to the College. All have an obligation as members of a department or faculty to contribute to research and teaching, and this will usually include lecturing, class teaching, supervision of graduate students and University examining alongside contributing to an internationally excellent research environment. As Associate Professors, the holders of joint appointments will also be expected to contribute to discussion and governance in their faculty or department, serving on committees, revising teaching syllabus materials and reading lists, and taking on administrative roles as needed. All Tutorial Fellows are also members of Congregation, the sovereign legislative body within the University, and have a right to vote on matters before Congregation. 2: Research The Colleges have the same interest as departments and faculties in seeking to appoint to Tutorial Fellowships academic staff whose research is or has the potential to be of international standing, and a Tutorial Fellow will be required by the College to engage in research and publication at the highest level. The Colleges and the University work together to appoint outstanding researchers who are willing and able to engage in undergraduate and graduate teaching, student support and pastoral work, and administrative duties. Colleges offer extensive support for research, funding regular sabbatical leave and providing a system of allowances, together with rooms and library facilities, all within a welcoming, interdisciplinary community. 3: Teaching and support Those appointed to Tutorial Fellowships are required to perform for the College or for the benefit of the College the stint of undergraduate tutorial teaching specified in their contract or job description, under the general oversight of each College’s Senior Tutor. The timing of tutorials and the exact numbers of students in each tutorial group are usually matters for the individual tutor, though each College will have established conventions, and the Senior Tutor and subject colleagues will provide advice and examples of past good practice including arrangements such as intercollegiate teaching exchanges which are commonly used to provide expert coverage of different aspects of (or subjects within) a discipline. Tutorial teaching is not the same as lecturing: the intention is to engage the students in small groups in intellectual interaction and creative dialogue so as to help them develop an independent, critical, and 15 MPLS APTF JD 2023 well-informed approach to their discipline. This approach is underpinned by regularly setting written work, typically weekly essays or problem sheets supported as necessary with recommended reading. Assessment and feedback on that written work is given by the tutors orally during the tutorials as well as by more conventional written comments or marking. Appointees should have the qualities required to relate effectively to students and their academic and personal needs. Tutorial Fellows are generally assigned sole or joint tutorial responsibility for a defined group of students in their subject area within their College. This work typically involves the following tasks to support the students’ education: (a) arranging tutorial and/or class teaching for each student in each term, whether the teaching is done by the tutor or another, and ensuring that teaching is of an appropriate standard; (b) monitoring students’ progress through termly written reports, and by means of collections (regular tests of performance) and/or assessment of vacation work; (c) pastoral support of undergraduates reading the subject in question; (d) interviewing candidates who apply to read the subject at the College, including arranging for help from other suitable interviewers and making the final selection of who should be admitted; (e) writing references for students, and directing them to appropriate careers advice; (f) recommending and selecting books and online materials for their subject area in the College Library; (g) delegating responsibilities (a)-(f) above when on sabbatical leave, in consultation with the Senior Tutor and subject colleagues. Tutorial Fellows are supported in these tasks by the administrative staff of the College and by the College Officers. Tutorial Fellows normally do their tutorial teaching in rooms provided for them in Colleges or in their Departments or Faculties and should be easily contactable through their Colleges during Term (although it is recognised that conferences and other commitments may mean that Tutorial Fellows are sometimes away from Oxford for short periods in Term). Oxford Colleges offer strong pastoral support to all their students. Here Tutorial Fellows play a key role, not only for their own undergraduates as indicated above, but also by acting as ‘College Adviser’ in College for a number of graduate students in their disciplinary area (this being additional to the formal academic supervision of research students arranged by the University with a suitable expert very possibly from another College). While Tutorial Fellows are often the first point of contact for students who are having difficulties, there are, of course, experts available when professional help is needed. Tutorial Fellows work closely with College Officers and with staff with appropriate medical and welfare training to ensure that students are supported appropriately and referred to professional services if that is necessary. 4: College Governance Oxford Colleges are self-governing communities with wide responsibilities. Tutorial Fellows are normally members of College Governing Bodies, the sovereign bodies of Colleges. They are usually Charity Trustees as well as employees. In many Colleges, major College Officerships (Senior Tutor, Tutor for Admissions, Tutor for Graduates, Dean) are held by Fellows specially appointed to undertake those roles on a fulltime basis. However, in some Colleges, such officerships are taken on by Tutorial Fellows on a full-time or part-time basis for agreed limited periods in return for additional stipend and/or a specified remission of tutorial teaching duties. In these various ways, Tutorial Fellows are expected to contribute to the governance and running of their Colleges, though Tutorial Fellows will not normally be asked to take on significant administrative duties in their probationary period (or in the first five years, if their probationary period is shorter than that). 16 MPLS APTF JD 2023 ANNEXE PAY SCALE FOR ASSOCIATE PROFESSORS WITH TUTORIAL FELLOWSHIPS (APTF-U) (with effect from 1 August 2023) Grade (30S) Scale National Pay spine University Salary College Salary Total Salary point 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 52 51 50 49 48 47 46 45 44 43 42 £59,479 £57,750 £56,073 £54,443 £52,862 £51,327 £49,836 £48,390 £46,985 £45,621 £44,296 £11,439 £11,107 £10,784 £10,471 £10,167 £9,871 £9,585 £9,306 £9,036 £8,774 £8,519 17 MPLS APTF JD 2023 £70,918 £68,857 £66,857 £64,914 £63,029 £61,198 £59,421 £57,696 £56,021 £54,395 £52,815
