Stipendiary Lecturership in Engineering

St Catherine’s College proposes to appoint a two-hour Stipendiary Lecturer in Engineering, with effect from 1 October 2024. The Lecturership will be for one year in the first instance.

The Lecturer will be expected to teach two weighted hours a week averaged over the three terms (twenty-four weeks) of the academic teaching year (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 teaching Sensing Signals and Communications in the second year A2 course (2A2F, 2A2G, 2A2H); Energy Systems, Power Electronics, and Electrical Power Networks from the second year A4 Course (2A4E, 2A4F, 2A4G, 2A4H). In addition, as a member of the team of Engineering tutors, the post-holder will be expected to play a full role in the running of Engineering in the College, including arranging tuition in Engineering, participating in the admissions process, 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 Professor Orestis Adamidis (email: orestis.adamidis@eng.ox.ac.uk).

The annual stipend for three terms is currently £5,081 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 and during the admissions exercise in December. Teaching/seminar rooms are available for booking within College.

More details can be found in the Further Particulars.

Applications should be sent, in a single file, by email to the Personnel Advisor (Email: personnel@stcatz.ox.ac.uk) to arrive not later than noon on Monday 22 July 2024. Applications must include: a completed Application Cover Form (available to download as part of the further particulars); a letter of application including a statement of prior teaching experience; a full curriculum vitae; and the names of two academic referees. A recruitment monitoring form should also be submitted (available to download at https://www.stcatz.ox.ac.uk/recruitment-monitoring-form/). Candidates should supply each of their referees with a copy of the further particulars and ask them to write directly to the Personnel Advisor, by email if possible, by the same closing date.

The closing date for applications is noon on 22 July 2024.
