Employment - Teacher Seminar Study Group Leaders

In Oxford, Cambridge, Paris, and Barcelona.

Our Teacher Seminars are week-long residential seminars in July, designed for teachers, librarians, school administrators and other educational professionals.

Pre-requisites:

Qualifications and experience. We are looking for graduate students, JRFs, tenured Fellows or other professional academics.

Eligibility. Applicants should be based locally to our individual Teacher Seminars in Oxford, Cambridge, Paris or Barcelona. We do not provide accommodation or travel to or from a Seminar each day.

Job description:

In Oxford and Cambridge: We offer a number of Study Groups in each location (see below) and each group meets six times during the week-long Teacher Seminar. Each meeting runs from 9.00am to 11.30am, after which Study Group leaders take their group to a local site of interest or a suitable class on a student program that we run in the same city. Meeting sessions conclude by 12.30pm. A Seminar Director is on-hand to provide support and advice if necessary and there are no afternoon or evening commitments.

In Paris and Barcelona: We offer English- and French-/Spanish-speaking Study Groups. The daily schedule involves morning, afternoon, and evening commitments, and is integrated with the plenary program of speakers, events, and field trips.

In all locations, the role of a Study Group Leader is more of a discussion leader and facilitator than a teacher. The aim is to invigorate participants’ existing interest in the subject (since they are at least familiar with the general topic). We’re really looking to make participants engage with a subject in new and innovative ways.

In addition to the week-long commitment, appointed Study Group leaders submit short reading lists to our New York office in around late May or early June for optional preparatory reading for their Study Group participants. This helps build direction, excitement and provides momentum for a week-long Seminar.

Study Groups:

OXFORD	CAMBRIDGE	PARIS	BARCELONA
America in World History	World Histories	Anglophone	Anglophone
Literature and the Fantastic	English Literature	Francophone	Spanish-speaking
The Library and the Academy	Science and Philosophy
Shakespeare in History	Visual Experience: Art in History and Literature

For details of any Study Group, as well as Seminar dates in July, please consult the Teacher Seminar section of our website and peruse our downloadable brochure. The brochure includes a detailed description of each Study Group as well as an idea of the curriculum involved.

Salary. We offer competitive salaries commensurate with experience.

NOTE: If interested in teaching on a student program AND leading a Teacher Seminar Study Group, applicants are very welcome to apply for both – but please indicate a preference if you have one.
