2 x Stipendiary Lecturers in Mathematics at Exeter College
Exeter College proposes, if there are suitable candidates, to appoint two Stipendiary Lecturers in Mathematics. These are fixed-term roles, tenable from 1 October 2025 until 30 September 2026.
[The College will, alternatively, consider appointing one person to cover both posts as a single Lecturership, if there is a suitable candidate. Applicants should feel free to indicate this preference as part of their application.]
Each Lecturer will be required to undertake 72 ‘weighted’ hours per annum of tutorial or class teaching of undergraduates for the College (or, by exchange, undergraduates of other Colleges). In addition, they will be required to set and mark College examinations, and to participate fully in the undergraduate Admissions process and Access/ Outreach activities, and in the running of Mathematics within the College.
The Stipendiary Lecturers will, between them, give tutorials and revision classes on the following topics:
- Linear Algebra I and II (Year 1)
- Prelims Groups and Group Actions (Year 1)
- Rings and Modules (Year 2)
- Topology (Year 2)
- Short Pure Maths topics (Year 2)
The ability to teach further papers may be an advantage.
It is anticipated that the two postholders will be able to teach different areas of the Mathematics syllabus from each other, and we will seek to appoint on the basis that the two postholders will specialize in different areas from each other.
The salary for each post will be within a range £8,284 – £9,154 per annum. In addition, a range of other generous benefits are available.

The closing date for applications is 12pm noon (BST) on Wednesday 21 May 2025.
College Lecturer (Career Development) in Non-Physical Applied Mathematics at Pembroke College
Pembroke College wishes to appoint a part-time College Lecturer (Career Development) in Non-Physical Applied Mathematics, for two years, from 1 September 2025 to 31 August 2027.
We welcome applicants with expertise in Non-Physical Applied Mathematics. We have an active Mathematics community in Pembroke, you will be mentored by senior academics and work alongside a number of early career academics and researchers in the college.
The postholder will be required to provide teaching for an average of four hours’ contact time per week during the eight weeks of Oxford’s three terms. You will be expected to set and mark weekly problem sheets, set and mark college exams, and participate in undergraduate admissions. You will also take on some administrative and pastoral responsibilities, including organising teaching and helping students to adjust to the course in their first term at Oxford.
This is a fixed term career development post, intended to give an early career academic the opportunity to develop skills in teaching and administration. College lectureships of this type are not intended as full-time posts and will often be most suitable for doctoral students in the final stages of their degree or postdocs holding other posts who are seeking additional teaching experience.
The salary will be in the range of £11,046-£12,205 per annum, depending on experience and qualifications. You will have a teaching and research allowance of £853.67 per annum, use of a room for teaching, and you will also be able to take some lunches and dinners free of charge in College throughout the year. All salary figures are 2024-25 rates and are subject to annual uplift.
