UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD - TWO JOB OPPORTUNITIES IN RUSSIAN
 
1. Career Development Fellowship in Russian Literature and Culture, 1855-1941 (Three 
year, fixed term)
 
The Faculty of Medieval and Modern Languages, together with Wadham and Worcester 
Colleges, proposes to appoint a Career Development Fellow in Russian Literature and 
Culture, 1855-1941. The post is tenable from 1 September 2010 until 31 August 2013 and 
is designed to provide:
 
- an intensive and supported career development opportunity for an outstanding academic 
at an early stage of his/her career;
- a salary of £28,983, rising to £29,853 and £30,747 in the second and third years of the 
appointment, plus college allowances;
- the opportunity to develop expertise in both research and teaching;
- an academic mentor as well as a personalised career and professional development 
package, including the opportunity to undertake the University’s postgraduate diploma in 
learning and teaching;
- a full association with Wadham College.

As a Career Development Fellowship, this is a fixed-term, non-renewable, three-year 
appointment, and is funded by the Leverhulme Trust, the John Fell OUP Research Fund 
and Wadham College. During the first two years of the post, the successful candidate will 
contribute to the teaching of Russian within the Sub-Faculty of Russian and Other Slavonic 
Languages by offering thirty-six hours of lectures and seminars per year, plus six hours a 
week of undergraduate tuition in Russian (both literature and language) at Wadham and 
Worcester Colleges. In order to support the Fellow's research career, the position does 
not require any teaching in the third and final year. Instead, the Fellow will instead be 
expected to make substantial progress on the completion of a book manuscript, or other 
significant publication or publications, as part of establishing an international research 
profile in the field of Russian Literature and Culture, 1855-1941. Applicants should either 
have a doctoral degree, or have submitted their doctoral thesis and successfully 
undergone their viva voce examination.
