"Tutorial Fellowship (Fixed-Term) in Public Law"

Worcester College proposes to appoint a fixed-term Tutorial Fellow in Public Law with effect from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2031. The election to the Fellowship is subject to satisfactory completion of a one-year probationary period.

The successful applicant will have a high level of research and teaching ability and will be required to teach Constitutional Law and Administrative Law for the College. The Fellowship will carry full tutorial responsibility, and the appointee will be required to assist with the administration of law studies at Worcester College, including the organisation of teaching, participation in the admissions process and undertaking the pastoral care of students.

The Fellowship is a fixed-term career development position specifically intended to provide a time-limited period of development for an early career academic. The College will arrange a mentor for the Fellow. Although the Fellow will not be required to undertake examining or lecturing for the Faculty of Law, it may be possible for the Fellow to undertake such duties if this is agreed by the Fellow, the College, and the Faculty. The Fellow will be permitted to take one term’s research leave in both the 4th and 5th years of the appointment; the particular terms to be taken as leave will be by agreement with the College.

The post is advertised as a Grade 7 appointment on the University of Oxford pay scale (£37,694 to £46,049 commensurate with experience). The Fellow will have access to certain travel and research funds, as well as an entertainment allowance and, when the kitchens are open, free meals in the College as a member of the Senior Common Room.
