Job: Fellowship in Russ. Literature, Oxford - 22.01.2025

Grade 7: Salary in the range of £28,983 - £30,747 p.a.

The Faculty of Medieval and Modern Languages, together with Wadham
and Worcester colleges, proposes to appoint a Career Development
Fellow in Russian Literature and Culture, 1855-1941.

The post is tenable from 1 September 2010 until 31 August 2013 and is
designed to provide:

* An intensive and supported career development opportunity for an
outstanding academic at an early stage of his/her career;
* A salary of £28,983, rising to £29,853 and £30,747 in the second
and third years of the appointment, plus college allowances;
* The opportunity to develop expertise in both research and teaching;
* An academic mentor as well as a personalised career and
professional development package, including the opportunity to
undertake the University's postgraduate diploma in learning and
teaching;
* A full association with Wadham College.

As a Career Development Fellowship, this is a fixed-term, non-
renewable, three-year appointment, and is funded by the Leverhulme
Trust, the John Fell OUP Research Fund and Wadham College.

During the first two years of the post, the successful candidate will
contribute to the teaching of Russian within the Sub-Faculty of
Russian and Other Slavonic Languages by offering thirty-six hours of
lectures and seminars per year, plus six hours a week of
undergraduate tuition in Russian (both literature and language) at
Wadham and Worcester colleges.

In order to support the Fellow's research career, the position does
not require any teaching in the third and final year. Instead, the
Fellow will be expected to make substantial progress on the
completion of a book manuscript, or other significant publication or
publications, as part of establishing an international research
profile in the field of Russian Literature and Culture, 1855-1941.

Applicants should either have a doctoral degree, or have submitted
their doctoral thesis and successfully undergone their viva voce
examination.
