The successful candidate will also be required to take a course in tutorial teaching, if they have not already done so.
The person appointed will be expected to teach for the College for 3 to 4 hours per week and to pursue doctoral-level study in English.

The GTR Scholar may also be asked to participate in the undergraduate admissions process (normally Week 10 of Michaelmas Term). Admissions training will be provided.
The GTR Scholar will be paid for tutorial teaching and admissions at the hourly standard tuition rates as set by the Senior Tutors’ Committee.
