This position is a great opportunity for a highly promising scholar to develop their career through  research, teaching and collaborative work in Egyptology at Oxford.  The successful candidate will play an active and valued role in teaching the Faculty’s undergraduate and graduate courses in the area, particularly in the field of Middle Egyptian texts.
