Stipendiary Lecturership in Physical Geography – closing date 24 March
St Catherine’s College proposes to appoint a three-hour Stipendiary Lecturer in Physical Geography for Trinity Term 2023 whilst Professor Richard Bailey is Dean.
The Lecturer will be expected to teach three weighted hours a week averaged over the eight weeks of Trinity Term 2023 (the College operates a weighting system whereby hours spent teaching groups larger than one person count for more than one hour). College teaching is in small groups (usually two or three students). The post-holder will be responsible for assisting in the teaching of the following Preliminary Examination papers (first-year courses): Earth System Processes, Geographical Controversies and Geographical Techniques; and the following Final Honour School papers (second- and third-year courses): Geographical Thought and Earth System Dynamics. The post-holder(s) will also be responsible for advising on and guiding the formulation of undergraduate dissertation topics and supervising such dissertations, where appropriate.
Course details can be found at http://www.geog.ox.ac.uk/undergraduate/. In addition, as a member of the team of Geography tutors, the post-holder will be expected to play a full role in the running of Geography in the College, including arranging tuition in Geography, setting and marking College examinations, and taking a role in the pastoral care of undergraduates. Informal enquiries about the tutorial teaching requirements may be made to the Director of Studies for Geography, Professor Richard Bailey (email: richard.bailey@stcatz.ox.ac.uk).
The stipend for one term is currently £2,397 and is pensionable. The Lecturer will be a member of the Senior Common Room and will be entitled, free of charge, to one lunch and two dinners per week during term-time. Teaching/seminar rooms are available for booking within College.
More details can be found in the Further Particulars. These can also be obtained from the Personnel Advisor, personnel@stcatz.ox.ac.uk
