The Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies aims to appoint a Departmental Lecturer (DL) in Chinese, for nine months 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 by 1st October 2024.)

This position is a great opportunity for a highly promising scholar to develop their career through research, teaching and collaborative work in Chinese 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 Classical Chinese philosophy.

You will have completed, or be very close to completing a doctorate in Chinese Studies, and possess a solid knowledge of the Chinese language. You will be able to demonstrate an ability to teach Classical Chinese, and be able to lecture, give tutorials and supervise Master’s students on topics in Chinese history and civilisation. You must have an aptitude for academic administration, and a commitment to communicating and publishing research in your field of study. Excellent communication, interpersonal and organisational skills are also essential.

This position is based in central Oxford. This is a full-time, fixed-term position until 31 August 2025.  Please note that the appointment would not 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 15 April 2024.
