Description:
The Faculty of English Language and Literature at the University of
Oxford is looking for a Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow (vacancy ID

Lexicography (i.e. the academic study of dictionary-making - the
practice, its products, their histories and their relationship to their
cultural contexts) under the mentorship of Charlotte Brewer. The
proposed research project may be in any topic in English Language
Lexicography, but applications are particularly encouraged in areas
relating to the OED, in dictionaries of current English, and in related

The Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow in English Language Lexicography
will:
- Take up appointment between 1 September 2012 and 1 January
2013;
- Receive a salary in the range (as at 1 January 2012) of £29,099 -
£30,870;
- Be able to develop expertise in both research and teaching;
- Have an academic mentor as well as a personalized career and
professional development package, including the opportunity to
undertake the University's postgraduate diploma in learning and
teaching;
- Have associate membership of Hertford College with full Senior
Common Room rights.
Responsibilities and Duties:
Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowships are designed to give their holders
supported experience in a broad range of academic duties; as such,
it will also be expected that the postholder will teach for an average
of 2-3 hours per week. A full range of professional and career
development support will also be provided.
Selection Criteria:
To be eligible for the Mellon Fellowship scheme, candidates will:
- At the time of taking up the appointment, hold a master's degree
and either have completed a PhD or for candidates in national
education systems where the PhD does not apply, be a candidate for
the appropriate doctoral examination;
- Be at an early stage of an academic career, and if holding a
doctorate have completed it no longer than in the previous four years
from 1 October 2012 (excluding justified career breaks);
- Be aspiring to a substantive academic appointment and have
career development needs which could reasonably be met by the
scheme.
- Normally have at least one peer-reviewed publication either
published or in press. Candidates who already hold a permanent
academic appointment will not be considered.
