job in Russian literature at Cambridge University

[Kylie Richardson]

University Lectureship in Russian Literature

The Department of Slavonic Studies intends to appoint a Lecturer in
Russian Literature with effect from 1 September 2005. Candidates should
have a record of - or clearly demonstrate the potential for - outstanding
research and publication in Russian literature, preferably with a
particular interest in the literature of the nineteenth century. They will
be required to teach Russian literature and language to undergraduates at
all levels, to participate in teaching for the Faculty’s M.Phil.
programmes, and to attract and supervise Ph.D. students.

The appointment will be for a period of five years in the first instance,
with reappointment thereafter to the retiring age, subject to satisfactory
performance. The pensionable scale of stipends for a University Lecturer
covers the range from £24,820 to £38,303. Employment in the Department
does not in itself carry with it a College Fellowship, but all recent
appointees in the Department or Faculty who have wished for College
Fellowships have obtained them.

Further particulars about the post, as well as further information about
the Department, may be found at http://www.mml.cam.ac.uk/slavonic.
Additional inquiries may be addressed to the Head of Department, Professor
Simon Franklin, by post at the address below, or by e-mail at
slavon at hermes.cam.ac.uk.

Applications (ten copies), including a detailed curriculum vitae and the
names and addresses of three referees, should be sent to the Secretary to
the Appointments Committee, Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages,
Sidgwick Avenue, Cambridge CB3 9DA by the closing date of Monday 31
January 2005, and applicants should ask their referees to write directly
by the same date. Note that there is no application form. Interviews for
the post will take place on Tuesday 8 March 2005.

The University of Cambridge is committed to a policy and practice which
require that entry into employment with the University and progression
within employment be determined only by professional merit and by the
application of criteria which are related to the duties of each particular
applicant and the relevant stipend or salary structure.  No applicant for
an appointment in the University, or member of staff once appointed, will
be treated less favourably than another on the grounds of sex, marital
status, race, ethnic or national origin, colour, or disability.  If any
employee considers that he or she is suffering from unequal treatment on
grounds of sex, marital status, race, ethnic or national origin, colour,
or disability, he or she may make a complaint which will be dealt with
through the agreed procedures for dealing with grievances.
