Supernumerary Teaching Fellowship In Classical Language & Literature
St. John's College, Oxford

St. John's College invites applications from 
suitably qualified candidates for a five-year 
fixed-term Supernumerary Teaching Fellowship 
(without membership of Governing Body) in 
Classical Languages and Literature, with effect 
from 1 October 2010. The successful candidate 
will have research interests in the literature of 
the Classical period (that is between ca. 800 BC 
and ca. AD 500), in Ancient Greek and/or Latin, 
and the ability to teach a range of core subjects 
in one, or, preferably, both, languages and their 
literatures.

The person appointed will teach undergraduates 
reading for the Honour School of Literae 
Humaniores and the associated Joint Schools 
(Classics and English, Classics and Modern 
Languages, Classics and Oriental Studies) up to a 
maximum of eight hours each week during term. He 
or she will take responsibility for the 
character, organisation and delivery of all the 
College's undergraduate teaching in Ancient Greek 
and Latin languages and literature, including 
supervising arrangements made from time to time 
for extra language teaching, and will represent 
these subjects, in collaboration with the Tutors 
in Ancient History and Philosophy and the Joint 
Schools, in the planning of all aspects of these 
degree courses at St. John's. He or she will 
also, therefore, participate in the undergraduate 
admissions process, share pastoral duties, and 
take part in College outreach activities. The 
election to the Fellowship will be for one year 
in the first instance, and renewable thereafter 
for up to four years, subject to a satisfactory 
report on the first year's duties. The Fellow 
will be a member of the University's Classics 
faculty (Sub-faculty of Classical Languages and 
Literature) and so part of Oxford's lively and 
successful Classics community, but will not be 
required to undertake University teaching, 
examining, or administration, though he or she 
may do so with the approval of the College; and 
the Fellow will be encouraged to offer one course 
of eight University lectures each academic year 
during the first four years of the appointment.

The person elected will already hold a doctorate 
and will be expected to engage in original 
research. A period of sabbatical leave will be 
made available in the final year of the 
appointment, to permit the Fellow to further his 
or her research. The annual salary will be on the 
incremental scale of £27,183 - £30,594 (subject 
to revision in line with any general salary 
increases).
