About The Role
For informal enquiries, please contact David Fearn (Head of Department) D.W.Fearn@warwick.ac.uk
The Classics Department seeks to appoint a Senior Teaching Fellow on a 0.62 (1st year) and 0.5 (2nd and 3rd year) basis for a fixed-term period of 3 years from 1 September 2025 to 31 August 2028.
The purpose of this post is to provide teaching in Roman history, as well as pastoral and administrative cover.
You will need to have a research specialism in Roman Imperial History and the ability to teach Latin literature at UG level.
About You
You will organise and teach the term-long first-year undergraduate core module Roman Culture and Society (including sessions on study skills), and, in your first year, Introduction to Roman History, and convene and teach an Honours-level optional module each year. In the first year this will be ‘The Roman Empire from Tiberius to Hadrian’.
In the second year you will teach either the module ‘The Transformation of Roman Society Under Augustus’ or another Roman History module of your own devising, in consultation with the Head of Department.
In the third year you will either repeat ‘The Roman Empire from Tiberius to Hadrian’ or, again, devise a new module of your choice.
You will offer classes on Latin texts relevant to the Honours-level modules you teach to students with advanced Latin.
You will supervise Honours dissertations and mark exams and assessed work as required. You will need experience in lecturing and leading seminars, as well as in marking, supervising and offering constructive feedback.
This is an excellent opportunity for a candidate with existing teaching experience to expand their experience within a supportive department, with undergraduates from a wide variety of backgrounds. You will devise your own teaching materials within the scope of the current prescriptions for these modules and have the potential to devise your own module reflecting your research interests, depending on Departmental needs.
You will be involved in many aspects of departmental life, tracking students’ progress, participating in staff meetings and Open Days and assisting in our engagement work with local schools and the wider public. You will be expected to be available to students 2 days a week in the department during term time. You will also have the opportunity to gain experience in academic administrative roles by acting as personal tutor to students, and through undertaking administrative duties, as reasonably requested by the Head of Department.
For further information regarding the skills required for this role please see the personal specification section of the attached job description.
