Teaching Fellow (Departmental Lecturer) in Economics

The Department of Economics is seeking to employ a Departmental Lecturer in Economics. The post is tenable for three years with the possibility of renewal. The successful candidate must be available to start either immediately or by the autumn of 2025 at the latest, as the role is currently vacant.
The principal task of the Departmental Lecturer will be to work with academic colleagues in the Department of Economics and with professional colleagues within the Saïd Business School to develop teaching materials for the MSc in Applied Financial Economics course. The MAFE is a new hybrid (part on-line, part in-person) degree which is due to take its first cohort of students in 26-27. Much of the academic content, which covers topics in micro, macro and econometrics, already exists and is currently being taught on the highly successful MSc in Financial Economics (MFE). However, the content of the MFE, which has been developed for in-person teaching, needs to be adapted to the requirements of high-quality on-line learning. It is this adaptation which will form the bulk of the postholder's responsibility in the first two years in the post. Afterwards, the postholder will be expected to continuously maintain and review the materials for the MAFE. The postholder is not expected to be expert
in the entire range of subjects taught on the MFE, rather we are looking for someone who is academically flexible enough to be able to help re-organise this material into a form which on-line students will be able to digest successfully.
Reporting to the Head of Department, the postholder will be required to develop the new course in collaboration with the course Director and other academic and professional colleagues.
