It's 8 hours of lecturing per week but, of course, preparation for those lectures and the time required to mentor students are never included in pay calculations. And roughly 10% of that goes towards the pension scheme, making the take home wage below £18k. 8 hrs per week is probably 2-4 classes per term depending on how often they meet weekly and for how long, so the lecturer is responsible for somewhere between 6-12 classes I gather. That would be ~£3k per class max which is actually better than what I've gotten for my adjunct work (but still sucks major ass and is unlivable especially in Oxford)
How is Oxford price wise? I mean in regards to Cost of living and the like. 19k seems like it would barely cover rental costs in most parts of the south east.
last I checked (which admittedly has been quite a while) it was one of the most expensive places in the UK to live, especially if you have a family. most of that salary would most certainly be going towards rent as I think even one-bedroom flats are over 1k per month not including utilities, etc nevermind if you want children to have a bedroom. simply unlivable
Would this be a 4-month contract?
no, it's for a 1-year post :joker-troll:
With 8 hours of contact time...that seems like around half time hours or a bit less. So £20k for half time is still pretty bad.

Yeah, that's why I estimated about 50% FTE for that.
