Academic vacancies
Please follow the links below for jobs at Wadham and within the University of Oxford.
The College has been made aware that the recently advertised fixed-term Lecturership in History was mistakenly posted on jobs.ac.uk as a full-time job. The College has never considered it as such, and apologises for this error.
The post is part-time in nature, and we have requested that the advert be amended to reflect this. This contrasts, for example, with a 12 hour lecturer post in Philosophy, which is advertised correctly as full-time and commands a higher wage. In both positions the teaching duties outlined in the further particulars largely fall within the 24 weeks of the full Oxford term, although it is a twelve-month position with the stipend paid throughout this period.
