The Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies intends to appoint a Departmental Lecturer (DL) in Modern Chinese Studies. This is a one-year position from 1st September 2023, to cover the teaching and certain other duties of a permanent post-holder during a period of sabbatical leave. (You must be able to start at the latest on 1st September 2023.)
This position is intended to develop the career of a highly promising scholar by providing opportunities for advanced study and teaching in the field of Modern Chinese History. The successful candidate will play an active and valued role in teaching the Faculty’s undergraduate and graduate courses in the area, and contribute to the administration of degree courses.
You will have completed, or be close to completing, a doctorate in Chinese studies (history, politics, sociology, anthropology, or law). You will be able to demonstrate an aptitude for academic teaching at undergraduate and graduate teaching, making use of original Chinese texts on aspects of modern Chinese history, and a solid knowledge of the Chinese language (including Classical Chinese). You will have a commitment to communicating and publishing research, and ability and willingness to carry out administrative roles in an academic setting, possessing excellent communication, organisational and interpersonal skills, supported by a good standard of English.
This position is based at the China Centre at St Hugh’s College, close to central Oxford. This is a full-time, fixed-term position until 31 August 2024. Please note that it is unlikely that the appointment would meet the salary threshold that would enable the University to sponsor a Skilled Worker visa application.
The closing date for applications is 12 noon on 9th August 2023
Interviews are expected to held on or around 30th August 2023
