The successful candidate will be responsible for providing eight hours a week of undergraduate tuition in German at Queen’s, and three hours a week for the Faculty of Modern Languages (Sub-Faculty of German). (Hours are averaged over the academic year).
The College is committed to fostering equality, diversity and inclusiveness. 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 the College’s academic staff.
The successful candidate will be expected to teach the following papers: Prelims (first year) Papers II (translation into English, and perhaps translation into German), III (commentary on poems and set texts), IV (three plays, four narrative texts and a film from the period 1890-1930).
