Fixed-term Stipendiary Lectureship (4 hours) in Law
20 April 2026 – 16 April 2027
Hertford College intends to appoint a fixed-term Stipendiary Lecturer in Law from 20 April 2026 – 16 April 2027. The successful candidate will be asked to provide tutorial teaching in Contract Law and Tort Law.
The Lecturer will be under the direction of Dr Aruna Nair and Dr Kate Greasley, Fellows and Tutors in Law at Hertford. The overall tutorial teaching load will be an average of 4 contact hours per week, (in groups of two/three and small classes) over three terms.
The successful candidate should have a good degree in Law and would be expected to have, or be close to completing, a doctorate in the subject, although applications from those who do not have a doctorate, but who have commensurate experience and qualifications, will also be considered. Experience of teaching undergraduates, preferably in small groups, would be an advantage, as would experience with Oxford’s undergraduate admissions process.
The salary for the 4-hour lectureship will be in the range £11,270 – £12,446 per annum, depending on qualifications and experience, and will be pensionable with USS. The successful candidate will be entitled to associate membership of the college’s Senior Common Room (SCR), free lunches while undertaking teaching duties in term time and during vacations, and access to an academic allowance. Further particulars for the post are available on the Hertford College website: https://www.hertford.ox.ac.uk/and-more/vacancies
Applications must include a CV detailing all relevant experience, a covering letter, a college application form (available from the college website) and the names and contact details of two referees. Applications should be sent as one pdf string to academic-recruitment@hertford.ox.ac.uk by by midday Friday 9th January 2026. Candidates should also arrange for their referees to write to the college by the same deadline. Interviews will be held in the week commencing 19th January 2026.
Potential candidates are welcome to contact Aruna Nair (aruna.nair@hertford.ox.ac.uk) or Kate Greasley (kate.greasley@hertford.ox.ac.uk).
