The College wishes to appoint a committed teacher and active researcher to the Osborn Fellowship and College Lectureship in Early Medieval History and Culture. This Fellowship was created by virtue of the generous benefaction of Sidney alumnus, John Osborn, to support teaching and research in medieval history, with a preference for the period to c. 1250.
The successful candidate will have a proven track record of academic research at the postdoctoral level, and will be able to contribute actively to the College’s teaching of the History Tripos and Classical Tripos.
The Fellowship is a 5-year fixed-term appointment with effect from 1st September 2015 or as soon as possible thereafter. The stipend will be on a scale ranging from point 32 to point 45 on the University’s single salary spine depending on experience (currently £23,386 to £34,233) and the position is pensionable under the Universities’ Superannuation Scheme.
The person appointed will be expected to supervise for 240 hours over the three terms of the academic year, and to share responsibility for Direction of Studies in History. The Fellow takes part in the undergraduate admission process, participating in open days and interviewing. The Fellow’s teaching will include both supervisions for Sidney undergraduates, and those offered to students of other colleges. In addition, the Fellow may be asked to undertake other College offices, such as a Tutorship, for which there would be additional remuneration.
Please submit your application, and arrange for your referees to submit their references, by e-mail by the closing date.
Deadline: 7 July 2015 at noon. Interviews will be held on the 10th July 2015.
