We are seeking an enthusiastic, self-motivated, talented lecturer able to undertake six contact hours a week of tutorial and/or small class teaching averaged over the three eight-week terms of the academic year 2026–27.

One of the largest Colleges in the University of Oxford, with around 860 students, St Anne’s is down to earth, ambitious, outward facing and collaborative. We aspire to understand the world and change it for the better.

St Anne’s admits about eight students each year for Single Honours English Language and Literature, together with about three for English and Modern Languages, and two for Classics and English. The College also attracts about four Full Time Equivalent (FTE) students a year from overseas, who are non-matriculated visiting students. English teaching and research at St Anne’s is supported by an extensive collection in the College Library. There is opportunity for the post-holder to work with the librarians and hold classes in the Library using the collection of rare books, and to allow students first-hand experience of handling 16th and 17th century texts.
