Fixed-term Stipendiary Lectureship in Philosophy (EXPIRED)

Mansfield College invites applications for a Fixed-term Stipendiary Lectureship in Philosophy for one year, tenable from 1 October 2012 to 30 September 2013.

The Lecturer will be required to give six hours of tutorials a week averaged over each eight-week term. This will be a combination of teaching for undergraduates at Mansfield and for students on the Visiting Student Programme at Mansfield. The successful candidate, who should have completed (or be about to complete) his or her doctoral studies, will be able to teach the following subjects: for the first-year students: Elementary Logic and General Philosophy (metaphysics and epistemology); and for second- and third-year students, Ethics. The ability to teach Plato's Republic in translation to second- and third-year students would also be an advantage, but is not a requirement. Applicants should also indicate which additional papers they would be in a position to teach to second and third year students from among those listed on the Philosophy Faculty web page:http://www.philosophy.ox.ac.uk/undergraduate/course_descriptions

In addition, the Lecturer will be expected to assist with undergraduate admissions at Mansfield. The salary for the post is based on the first point of the Senior Tutors' Lecturer scale, currently £12,260 for the six-hour post. The post carries full dining rights and the Lecturer will have the use of a shared teaching room in College.

Further particulars and application forms can be found at http://www.mansfield.ox.ac.uk/about/vacancies.html and are also available from the Academic Administrator, Mansfield College, Oxford OX1 3TF (telephone:  01865 (2)70982) to whom five copies of applications, including a full curriculum vitae should be sent. 

The closing date for applications is 25 May 2012. Applicants should ensure that two academic references are sent to the Academic Administrator by that date.
