Grade 30S: £42,883 - £57,581 p.a.

The Faculty of Theology and Religion, in association with Lady Margaret Hall, proposes to appoint to a University Lecturership in Religious Ethics. The post of University Lecturer is the main career grade for academic faculty at Oxford and is equivalent to a North American associate professorship. The lecturer will be a member of the Faculty of Theology and Religion and will also be an Official Fellow and Tutor of Lady Margaret Hall.

The successful candidate will be an outstanding scholar and teacher whose expertise lies in the theology, history, and comparison of at least two traditions of religious ethics. He or she will have a doctorate and a record of world-class research and publication in some aspect of religious ethics, and previously have successfully secured research funding. The ability to deliver effective class and small-group (tutorial) teaching to high-achieving and challenging students and to supervise graduate students for the Faculty are essential. A readiness to study and teach practical moral issues, especially in the field of economic and financial life is also desirable.
