Fixed-Term Stipendiary Lecturership in Psycholinguistics
(1 years, fixed-term, full-time, salary between £33,137 and £36,616 per annum, depending on experience)
St Hugh’s College in conjunction with the Faculty of Linguistics proposes to appoint a full-time Stipendiary Lecturer in Linguistics, specialising in Psycholinguistics, to start on 1 October 2025. This appointment is to fulfil teaching needs arising from sabbatical taken by current post-holder and is non-renewable.
St Hugh’s and the University of Oxford are committed to fostering equality, diversity and inclusiveness at every level. We particularly encourage applications from women, disabled people and people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds, as these groups are currently under-represented in our academic staff.
The Lecturership is open to graduates of any university of postdoctoral or equivalent standing, who are engaged in research and who have relevant teaching experience. Eligible candidates will either hold a doctorate in a relevant field (see below) or be about to complete one.
For the College the Lecturer will be expected to teach undergraduates (in tutorials and classes) for up to six weighted hours each week averaged over the three terms (twenty-four weeks) of each academic year. For the Faculty of Linguistics they will be expected to 36 hours of lecture provision in Psycholinguistics and other areas of Linguistics at undergraduate and graduate level.
The basic stipend of the Lecturer will be between £33,137 and £36,616 per annum, depending on experience. This includes the recently introduced Oxford University Weighting (a payment of £1,500 per annum in addition to the basic scale at National Spine Point 23). The Lecturer Fellow will have membership of the Senior Common Room (for which there is a small annual charge) and will be entitled to all meals free of charge while working and when the kitchens are open.
The closing date for receipt of applications (including writing samples) is noon on Tuesday 27 May 2025. We hope to interview (via Microsoft Teams) provisionally on Tuesday 10 June 2025.
Informal enquiries may be made to Professor Matthew Husband (matthew.husband@st-hughs.ox.ac.uk) or to the Senior Tutor, Robert Vilain (senior.tutor@st-hughs.ox.ac.uk). These will not influence the selection and appointment procedure in any way.
