Grade 10a: Salary £42,563 - £57,201 p.a.

The Faculty of Law of the University of Oxford and University College invite applications for a University Lecturership (CUF) in Law and a Tutorial Fellowship at University College. The University Lecturership will initially be held on a titular basis.  Details of the post, which all applicants are asked to consult, are available on the College's website at http://www.univ.ox.ac.uk/ or from the College's Academic Officer, Ms Verity Pavitt (email verity.pavitt@univ.ox.ac.uk; tel 01865 276951).

The post is available from 1 September 2011 or as soon as possible thereafter.

The salary will be on a scale currently from £42,563 to £57,201 p.a. with substantial additional benefits, including a pensionable housing allowance of £9,920 p.a. (enhanced by 75% in the first year, bringing it up to £17,360), payable to non-residential Tutorial Fellows, and a research allowance of £2,532 p.a. (£5,064 in the first year). The Faculty of Law will also provide the lecturer with a start-up grant of £4,000 (unless the appointee currently holds an established Oxford University academic post).

The successful applicant will have a high standard of research and teaching ability and be able to devise and give high-quality tutorials, classes, and lectures. The University wishes to appoint someone willing and able to teach two of the ten core (compulsory) undergraduate subjects, plus at least one other subject (which may but need not be from the core list), excluding EU Law, Tort, and Constitutional Law (in which it has existing expertise).

Details of the undergraduate syllabus can be found on the Faculty's website: (http://www.law.ox.ac.uk/undergraduate/courses.php).

The Lecturer will also be expected to give lectures and seminars and to undertake graduate teaching and supervision for the Faculty, and to pursue research and publication. Candidates must have obtained a postgraduate degree in Law, or be in the final stages of obtaining one.

Eight copies of the application, comprising a brief description of teaching experience and teaching that can be offered for the Faculty and College; a statement of current and proposed research, including a list of publications; a curriculum vitae; and the names of three referees should reach the Academic Officer, University College, Oxford, OX1 4BH by the closing date of 12 noon on Friday 3 December 2010.  Referees should be asked to write directly to the Academic Officer by the same date.  Interviews will be held in the New Year.

The University is committed to promoting equality and valuing diversity. Applications are particularly welcome from women and black and minority ethnic candidates, who are under-represented in academic posts in Oxford.
