Stipendiary Lecturership in French

Christ Church invites applications for a permanent Stipendiary Lecturership in French. This is a permanent position to fulfil a standing college teaching need commencing 1 October 2025.

The Lecturer will deliver six (weighted) hours of teaching per week, averaged over the three eight-week terms of each academic year. The College uses a system of weighted hours depending on how many students are being taught. The teaching delivered by this postholder will consist of small-group language teaching, usually in groups of 6-8, which means that the actual number of contact hours per week will be less than six. The appointed tutor will be expected to set and mark written work for the language classes.

The successful candidate should be able to teach:

• Prelims: seen and unseen translation into English (fortnightly)
• Prelims: comprehension and summary in French (fortnightly)
• Prelims: general language skills (weekly)
• Second year: translation into English (fortnightly)*
• Finalists: translation into English (fortnightly)*

The classes marked * may be varied depending on the native language of the successful applicant.

The salary will be £16,569 - £18,308 (current rates) per annum, according to qualifications and experience.

The successful candidate will have evidence of the skills required for successful general language teaching at a high level, including the ability to explain grammar lucidly, listen to students, and enthuse and inspire them. The ability to understand, and explain to students, passages written in sophisticated French is essential. 

Further particulars, including instructions about how to apply, may be downloaded via the 'Apply' button above. The deadline for applications is 12:00 noon on 17 February 2025.

It is our policy and practice that entry into employment and progression within employment will be determined only by criteria which are related to the duties of a particular post and the relevant salary scale.
