Departmental and College Lecturer in Medieval History

**About the role**





Applications are invited for a one-year, full-time, fixed-term Departmental
and College Lectureship in Medieval History within the University of Oxford,
Faculty of History, George Street, Oxford OX1 2RL and in association with
Oriel college, Oriel Square, Oxford OX1 4EW. This is an opportunity to join
our thriving History community and gain valuable teaching experience at the
undergraduate and graduate levels. Although this is primarily a teaching role,
you will also engage in advanced study and conduct independent research and
play an active role in the interdisciplinary College community. The post is
intended to fill a gap in our teaching coverage while Professor Tom Johnson is
on research leave.





**The Role**





The successful applicant will lecture, tutor, and supervise undergraduate and
postgraduate students, providing eight hours of tutorial teaching per week for
the college over 24 weeks of the academic year, and sixteen lectures per year
for the Faculty. A number of these hours will be for other colleges within
Oxford. In support of the development of courses and as a secondary commitment
alongside teaching, you will manage your own academic research activities,
conduct independent research, and generate original ideas to build on existing
concepts, and occasionally write research articles for peer-reviewed journals,
book chapters, and reviews, and/or give poster presentations or briefings to
disseminate research findings at conferences.





**About you**





You will have a completed doctorate in a relevant field, or evidence that a
doctorate is close to completion, e.g., candidates who have submitted their
dissertation will be considered, subject to successful examination, and
sufficient depth and breadth of knowledge in the subject to develop course
materials and research proposals. An aptitude for teaching, both in small-
group tutorials and classes and larger-scale lectures; the ability to inspire
and enthuse students; and some experience of teaching the Medieval History of
the British Isles, and a publication record commensurate with career stage,
and familiarity with the existing literature and research in your field, is
essential. Experience with undergraduate admissions would be desirable.
