Department Lecturer in Economics (Teaching Fellow) at University of Oxford

The Department of Economics is seeking to employ a Department Lecturer in Economics (Teaching Fellow).

The post is tenable for three years, with potential for permanency after a year,  and the successful candidate must be available to start in the autumn of 2024 or immediately, as the role is currently vacant.

Reporting to the Head of Department, the post holder will be required to provide lectures, classes and supervision, and to undertake advanced academic study in support of their teaching.

The principal task of the Department Lecturer in Economics (Teaching Fellow) will be to contribute to teaching and supervision on the Master’s in Financial Economics course (MFE). In particular the postholder will deliver approximately 40 hours of lectures in Economics I-II (on information economics or macroeconomics, as required) and a Trinity-term elective (either a module on forecasting or one on international macroeconomics).

In addition the postholder will serve as academic supervisor to up to 15 MFE students and mark approximately 150 exam scripts. The postholder may also be asked to contribute to the Department’s teaching and examining in other programmes, subject to their stint limits.

Your application should be submitted on Econjobmarket (EJM – Econ Job Market) and include a CV, a supporting statement and the names and contact details of three referees. 

The closing date for applications is 12 noon British Summer Time (BST) on 25 April 2024. It is expected that interviews will be held virtually in early May.

Applications are particularly welcome from women and black and minority ethnic candidates, who are under-represented in academic posts at Oxford.
