All,

Please find following this week's job list.

Please also remember that this week (28th October) sees the deadline for
abstracts for the 2012 SocRel Conference. As with last year, we will be
running a special event for Postgraduates before the main conference.
Unlike last year, this will be a full day. Further details will be
released later, but in the meantime I hope that as many of you as possible
will be sending in your abstracts to the conference organisers (please see
the SocRel website for details.) Bursaries are available, but you will
need to be a SocRel member to apply for one. You can become a member
either through the BSA or direct with SocRel, again, see the SocRel
website for details.

On the subject of the Postgraduate Event at the SocRel Annual Conference,
I would also like your feedback on what you would like to cover this year.
Some early suggestions were made around discussions on methdology and/or
key theory.  Practical skills such as chairing sessions at conferences and
involving/speaking with the media have been suggested as well. I am happy
to organise speakers to come as necessary, but need to know what people
feel is most needed. Please email me at [log in to unmask] - all
suggestions welcome.  Please make sure that you do contact me - this is an
event specially tailored for SocRel PGs, the costs will be as low as
possible and certainly affordable.

Look forward to hearing from you,

Best wishes,

Mat.

Lecturer in Religious Studies, The Open University

The Department of Religious Studies, The Open University, invites
applications for a full-time lectureship, based in Milton Keynes. The
Department is active in both teaching and research and has a particular
focus on contemporary religion in historical perspective (i.e. largely
nineteenth century and later).

The Department is genuinely open to making an appointment at any point in
the Lecturer range, and will assess the standing and skills of candidates
in the light of reasonable expectations for their stage of career.

The Lecturer must have the necessary skills and experience to make a
substantial contribution to the development of on-line media and teaching
in Religious Studies, using electronic tools such as Moodle and VLEs
appropriate to The Open University context.

Our over-riding concern is to appoint a new colleague able to make a
flexible and wide-ranging contribution to the work of the Department and
the Arts Faculty, with a specialism outside of - but having potential for
synergy with - existing departmental expertise. The Department neither
assumes nor precludes personal religious commitment on the part of staff
or students; it is not a Theology department.

Applications should be returned by 12 noon on Thursday 10 November 2011.
Interviews to be held on Friday 9 December.
