Our main stakeholders are admissions personnel in colleges and departments across the University: a core of approximately 50 whose main role is admissions administration, and over 1,000 academic tutors who make selection decisions. The team also works closely with second-line support in IT Services and a range of other teams across the Academic Administration Division. The role of Admissions Operations Coordinator is a pivotal systems- and data-based role in the context of the operational process of undergraduate admissions. Oxford uses two main systems for undergraduate applications: Tribal SITS/eVision (used extensively across the sector), and an in-house database built on the Microsoft Dynamics platform called ADSS (Admissions Decisions Support System). ADSS is used mainly for academic staff to select which applicants are made offers during the Autumn term (October – December), and SITS/eVision is used for communicating decisions back to UCAS, as well as post-offer and confirmation stages, and as the core University student records system. Working closely with the Head of Admissions Operations and other members of the team, the Admissions Operations Coordinator will have a pivotal role in ensuring the accuracy and reliability of applications data in systems shared internally across colleges and departments and externally with UCAS. The team also supports several bespoke application processes for particular categories of applicants, and liaises with individual stakeholders and senior committees to improve operations and policy for undergraduate admissions. The post-holder will also contribute more generally to the work of the Admissions Operations team, including dayto-day management of user queries ranging from frequently asked questions to more complex technical issues, and shared responsibility in the Admissions Operations team for the use of SITS/eVision in undergraduate admissions. Our other main responsibilities include sector-wide liaison with UCAS and other universities, leading internal meetings updating colleges and departments on key issues in admissions, and a series of projects such as admissions tests, statistics, and maintaining the online Admissions Handbook. The work of the Admissions Operations team is often technical in nature, and requires both advanced data manipulation skills and the ability to solve problems relating to data and systems.

We aim to lead the world in research and education for the benefit of society both in the UK and globally. Oxford’s researchers engage with academic, commercial and cultural partners across the world to stimulate high-quality research and enable innovation through a broad range of social, policy and economic impacts. We believe our strengths lie both in empowering individuals and teams to address fundamental questions of global significance, while providing all our staff with a welcoming and inclusive workplace that enables everyone to develop and do their best work. Recognising that diversity is our strength, vital for innovation and creativity, we aspire to build a truly diverse community which values and respects every individual’s unique contribution. While we have long traditions of scholarship, we are also forward-looking, creative and cutting-edge. Oxford is one of Europe's most entrepreneurial universities and we rank first in the UK for university spin-outs, and in recent years we have spun out 15-20 new companies every year. We are also recognised as leaders in support for social enterprise. Join us and you will find a unique, democratic and international community, a great range of staff benefits and access to a vibrant array of cultural activities in the beautiful city of Oxford. For more information, please visit www.ox.ac.uk/about/organisation. Undergraduate admissions and outreach Working closely with our colleagues from across the wider collegiate University, Undergraduate Admissions and Outreach (UAO) aims to inspire and enable talented minds to reach extraordinary futures, at Oxford and beyond. We know that some groups are still under-represented at our University, and we are committed to changing this. We are determined to attract potential from wherever it is to be found, and to be a magnet for able students regionally, nationally and internationally. Oxford University is known all over the world, and is renowned as a centre of learning that offers rigorous and intellectually-stretching degree courses, but it can feel distant and out of reach to many. Many myths abound around who studies here, how much it costs and what it is like. Oxford’s fame and reputation precede it and we realise that this can be off-putting, especially to those who haven’t yet had a chance to find out what Oxford, or even university more generally, is really like. Some students are still wary of choosing our university so we need to continue to work hard to dispel the myths and help them discover Oxford as it is. We believe that Oxford not only gives fantastic opportunities and is an enjoyable and exciting place to study but that it helps students to develop the self-belief to set them up for the future. Undergraduate outreach exists to encourage prospective students to apply to Oxford University. We aim to provide guidance and information to all those who are able to make a strong application, but especially those from under-represented groups and those who do not have as much support. We strive to make sure that all talented students can feel confident and excited about applying to Oxford. More and more people from the groups we’ve been working with have applied to Oxford recently, and many are now studying here. Whilst we are proud of this, we know that the pace of change needs to increase. We are taking a range of actions to ensure this – • • • We have significantly expanded the number of participants on our free and successful UNIQ mentoring programme for UK state school students. This programme gives a taste of Oxford undergraduate student life as well as providing expert advice on the application process for target groups. One or our current ambitions is to increase the regional diversity of our UNIQ students. We continue to work with Target Oxbridge, a free and innovative programme that aims to help black African and Caribbean students and students of mixed race with black African and Caribbean heritage increase their chances of getting into the Universities of Oxford or Cambridge. Oxford colleges have combined forces to form Oxford for UK and offer bespoke support to local students and their wider communities in every region of the UK. G7 Ad Ops Coord JD Mar 24 5 • • The University runs a range of programmes, involving collaborations between schools, education experts at the University and public sector organisations tackling social mobility and social justice, to help raise attainment in schools and encourage applications to selective universities and participation in higher education. Oxford’s financial support package for UK students is one of the most generous available, providing over £8.5 million of financial support to undergraduates from lower-income households. Our ambition is to ensure that no one with outstanding academic potential is deterred from studying here because of their background, personal circumstances, or finances. Around one in four UK students at Oxford currently receive a non-repayable annual bursary, such as an Oxford Bursary or Crankstart Scholarships, which can be worth up to £5,000 per year. We continue to be determined to improve equality of opportunity at each stage of the student journey. Our key challenge is to improve the opportunities for admission for those from disadvantaged backgrounds who fail to receive an offer, or who, because of prior academic attainment or educational opportunity, are not able to make competitive applications. Our Evaluation team works to ensure that our activities are evidence-based and support our strategic objectives. Recently we have supported the University’s development of two major new initiatives to further these objectives: • • Opportunity Oxford – This bridging programme is an ambitious academic course that helps to prepare talented UK offer-holders from under-represented backgrounds for successful student careers at our University. We aim to offer 200 places a year from the 2022-entry admissions round onwards. Astrophoria Foundation Year – This one-year foundation year programme is for UK state school students with significant academic potential, who have experienced severe personal disadvantage and/or disrupted education which has resulted in them being unable to apply directly for an Oxford undergraduate degree programme. Students will be supported through a challenging academic course; on condition that they have completed their foundation year at the required level, students will progress onto their chosen undergraduate degree course at Oxford. Up to 50 places will be offered each year, with the first students being admitted for entry in September 2023. There’s much more detail on who attends Oxford in the Annual Admissions Statistical Report available at ox.ac.uk/adstats The University has access targets which form part of the Access and Participation Plan between the University of Oxford and the Office for Students. Our Access and Participation Plan is available to download. Another important part of the role of UAO is to oversee admissions to the University’s colleges for undergraduate courses and to manage contact between the University and UCAS. We provide guidance for Oxford colleges and centrally co-ordinate the admissions process. We provide data and management information on admissions and recruitment and support training courses on admissions-related matters. A key role of UAO is to provide a central schools and colleges liaison service for the University and Colleges in order to ensure a strong recruitment strategy across the UK, Europe and Internationally. Activities include school and college visits, higher education fairs, student conferences, open days, and a wide variety of teacher events. We deal with thousands of young people every year and our teams travel throughout the UK and beyond. In addition, UAO services a number of committees, responds to government consultations, and staff attend a number of nationally and regionally based groups. In association with the University’s Public Relations Office, we deal with the media and develop policy in areas of access and admissions alongside colleagues in the colleges and the University. More information about our outreach activities and admissions to Oxford can be found at www.ox.ac.uk/study. Academic Administration Division The Academic Administration Division (AAD) is the University’s group of services focused on students and learning. We provide support and information that students need to thrive in their academic and personal lives, and G7 Ad Ops Coord JD Mar 24 6 encourage the professional and educational development of our staff. We operate in close collaboration with colleagues in central, divisional, departmental, and college administration, as well as with academic staff and students. The AAD’s work supports the student career from pre-admission through to graduation and beyond, and promotes the development of coherent systems and services across Oxford to underpin this. We focus on: - Student recruitment: Attracting the best undergraduate and postgraduate students through outreach and admissions, and advising students through the admissions process. - Student services: Offering high-quality services to students once they arrive at Oxford, including counselling and disability services, sports, language courses, a careers service, and fees and funding. - Student administration: Managing the University’s student data, registration, examinations, and degree ceremonies, advising on visas and immigration; and developing our student systems. - Educational policy: Helping to develop and implement educational policies, upholding legislation, and providing quality assurance.

ODID is located at Queen Elizabeth House in central Oxford, and is thus often known as “QEH”. The Department is recognized as one of the leading international centers in its field. It was ranked as the top development studies department in the country in the UK government’s national assessment of research excellence in both 2008 (Research Assessment Exercise) and 2014 (Research Excellence Framework), with most of its research rated as world-leading and internationally excellent. ODID maintains a world-wide network of scholars and policy researchers in developing countries. The Department has particular strength in the study of Africa, Asia and Latin America. It has close relationships with cognate departments in Oxford, such as Politics and International Relations, Anthropology, Area Studies, Economics and Law. 4 The Department comprises a core of some 25 academic staff engaged in teaching and research, together with 71 research staff in five research centres - the Refugee Studies Centre, the Young Lives Study, the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative, the Technology and Management Centre for Development and the International Growth Centre, which is led by ODID and the Department of Economics, with the LSE. These centres have support from key research partner institutions in developing countries, and engage in extensive policy advisory work for governments, international agencies and civil society organisations. ODID teaches around 260 postgraduate students on doctoral and Masters’ programmes. Students come with outstanding academic track records from all over the world. Degrees offered at ODID include the DPhil in International Development, a DPhil in Migration Studies (based at Anthropology), a two-year MPhil in Development Studies and four one-year MSc courses on Economics for Development, Refugee & Forced Migration Studies, Global Governance & Diplomacy, and Migration Studies. These programmes are research-led, and combine rigorous research methods training with applied thesis work which prepares students for both academic and policy careers. The Department is also home to a considerable number of post-doctoral fellows and academic visitors from a wide range of developing countries. Further information about the Department can be found at https://www.qeh.ox.ac.uk/ and on the courses at https://www.qeh.ox.ac.uk/content/study. Social Sciences Division The University’s academic departments and faculties are organised into four large groups, known as Academic Divisions (Social Sciences, Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences (MPLS), Medical Sciences, and Humanities). The divisions are responsible for academic strategy and operational planning, oversight of the teaching and research of their constituent departments and faculties, and for personnel and resource management. The social sciences at Oxford are distinctive for both their depth and breadth, with over 1,000 academic and research staff working across fifteen departments, faculties and schools. The Head of the Social Sciences Division is Professor Timothy Power. The Division is a world-leading centre of research and education in the social sciences. The Times Higher Education (THE) University Rankings placed the University of Oxford as number one in the world for Social Sciences in 2018 and 2019. REF 2014 confirmed Oxford as the UK powerhouse for research in the social sciences, accounting for more 4* research than any other institution. Our academic and research staff and students are international thought leaders, generating new evidence, insights and policy tools with which to address some of the major global challenges facing humanity, such as sustainable resource management, poverty and forced migration, effective governance and justice. As well as active interdisciplinary links with researchers in other divisions at Oxford, we engage and collaborate extensively with other universities and a wide range of governmental and non-governmental practitioner communities such as law, business, public health and welfare, international development and education around the world. The Division has an extensive portfolio of external funders, partners and supporters, with competitively-awarded external research income exceeding £50 million per year and philanthropic income over £25 million a year. As part of our commitment to equality of opportunity, seven of our departments have achieved Bronze Athena SWAN Awards: the Blavatnik School of Government, Economics, Education, International Development, Law, Anthropology and Museum Ethnography and the Saïd Business School. The School of Geography and the Environment now holds an Athena SWAN Silver Award. All our other departments are either in the process of applying or scheduled to do so shortly. The Division delivers an exceptional range of high-quality educational programmes all underpinned by the innovative research being undertaken by our academics. The student body is made up of over 2,000 undergraduate students, nearly 3,000 students studying postgraduate taught programmes and 1,200 postgraduate research students. The programmes we offer are wide-ranging, often interdisciplinary and include professionally-oriented provision in areas such as business, law and education. The Division is home to several of Oxford’s most widely recognised teaching programmes, such as Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) at undergraduate level; and at the Masters level programmes such as the Bachelor in Civil Law (BCL), Environmental Change and Management, International Relations, and Social Data Science.

The Faculty of Philosophy The Oxford Philosophy Faculty has over 150 academic members, all of whom are undertaking teaching and/or research in Philosophy at Oxford. Of these, around 60 hold permanent posts within the Faculty or the colleges, and many distinguished philosophers hold posts elsewhere in the University. Oxford thus contains the largest group of philosophers in the UK, and one of the largest in the world. The Faculty has a vigorous research culture, and performed outstandingly in the most recent UK Research Excellence Framework, achieving the highest volume of world-leading (4* ranked) philosophy research of any unit in the country. Each year, many distinguished philosophers from around the world visit Oxford to give lectures and seminars. There are over fourteen hundred students studying Philosophy at undergraduate level, always in March 2024 4 combination with at least one other subject, and around 150 graduate students, about half of whom are studying for the BPhil or the specialist MSt courses in Ancient Philosophy, Philosophy of Physics and Practical Ethics, and the rest for the DPhil. A list of current Faculty members and their research interests can be found on the Philosophy Faculty website at http://www.philosophy.ox.ac.uk/faculty-members. Further information about the Faculty can be found on its website at http://www.philosophy.ox.ac.uk. Humanities Division The Humanities Division is one of four academic divisions in the University of Oxford, bringing together the following faculties: Asian and Middle Eastern Studies; Classics; English; History; Linguistics, Philology and Phonetics; Medieval and Modern Languages; Music; Philosophy; Theology and Religion; the Ruskin School of Art. The Division has over 500 members of academic staff, approximately 4,100 undergraduates (more than a third of the total undergraduate population of the University), 1,000 postgraduate research students and 720 students on postgraduate taught courses. The Division offers world-class teaching and research, backed by the superb resources of the University’s libraries and museums, including the famous Bodleian Libraries, with their 11 million volumes and priceless early book and manuscript collections, and the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology. Such historic resources are linked to cutting-edge agendas in research and teaching, with an increasing emphasis on interdisciplinary study. Our faculties are among the largest in the world, enabling Oxford to offer an education in Arts and Humanities unparalleled in its range of subjects, from music and fine art to ancient and modern languages. The Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities (TORCH) is the Division’s vehicle for promoting interdisciplinary collaboration, international networks, and public engagement with research, with a highly active programme of events, fellowships, and research networks. The current TORCH Director is Professor Christine Gerrard (Professor of English Literature). The Humanities Division has embarked on a major building project on the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter, following the recent announcement of the £175 million gift to create the Stephen A. Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities. The Schwarzman Centre will serve as a dynamic hub dedicated to the Humanities. The building will bring together seven Humanities faculties, the Humanities Divisional Office, a new library and significant cultural and public engagement spaces in a space designed to encourage experiential learning and bold experimentation through cross-disciplinary and collaborative study. The Schwarzman Centre’s public and performance spaces will also host the new Cultural Programme, working with outstanding artists, writers and thinkers from around the world to create and present world-class arts and culture in collaboration with university, local, national and international partners. The Faculty of Philosophy will move to the Schwarzman Centre upon the completion of the project. For more information on the Humanities Division please visit: www.ox.ac.uk/divisions/humanities.html Corpus Christi College There are 39 self-governing and independent colleges at Oxford, giving both Fellows and students the benefits of belonging to a small, interdisciplinary community as well as to a large, internationally-renowned institution. The collegiate system fosters a strong sense of community, bringing together leading academics and students across subjects, and from different cultures and countries. Corpus Christi College was founded in 1517. It occupies historic buildings and is situated in the centre of Oxford. The College is governed by its President, Professor Helen Moore, and a Governing Body of 37 Fellows. Philosophy is a strong and prominent subject in Corpus. Other fellows in the subject are: Professor Mark Wrathall, Tutor in Philosophy, Professor Marion Durand, Tutor in Ancient Philosophy, and Professor Mike Martin, Wilde Professor of Mental Philosophy. The College regularly hosts a number of postdoctoral and March 2024 5 research fellows in Philosophy. The College has a lively Philosophy Society. Corpus has a strong tradition in Philosophy and in Classics. As a result, the college’s beautiful library is especially well stocked with books in these fields. There are approximately 110 graduate students and 280 undergraduates studying across a wide variety of disciplines. Corpus accepts seven undergraduates each year to read PPE (Philosophy, Politics and Economics), the majority of whom take Philosophy beyond the first year of study. On average, the College accepts a further twelve undergraduates to read subjects involving Philosophy: nine a year for Classics, plus smaller numbers for Philosophy and Psychology and Mathematics and Philosophy. The College typically accepts three or four graduate students a year in Philosophy. Most of these start out by studying either for the BPhil or for the MSt in Ancient Philosophy; many then continue into the doctoral programme. The Sekyra and White’s Professor is not expected to give any undergraduate teaching within College but is expected to act as a Graduate Adviser to graduate students in Philosophy or cognate subjects. Further information about the College can be found on its website at http://www.ccc.ox.ac.uk.

We are seeking to appoint an Agile Initiative Fellow to the NERC-funded Agile Initiative at the Oxford Martin School. Agile is experimenting with innovative ways of delivering high-quality, policy-relevant, rapid, and interdisciplinary environmental research. Our aim is to improve the way policy decisions are made and the relevance of research to them, while also supporting shifts in research culture at Oxford University and funders.

 

The Agile Initiative Fellow is a brand new fixed-term post to January 2027 (when the current phase of funding from NERC ends). You will conduct a range of interdisciplinary environmental research and programme activities for the Initiative.

To be appointed at Grade 8 you will need to have significant postdoctoral research experience (e.g. 2+ years of postdoctoral experience, experience of working with decision-makers, and/or significant publication or funding successes) and provide strong evidence of experience and ability across the selection criteria.

 

This is not a standard post-doctoral post, but an exciting opportunity to be part of a cutting-edge research initiative, of significant strategic interest at the highest levels of Oxford University and within NERC and UKRI. The Agile leadership will provide mentoring and career development support throughout to ensure you gain the most value from the role.

For more information, please visit www.ox.ac.uk/about/organisation. Undergraduate admissions and outreach Working closely with our colleagues from across the wider collegiate University, Undergraduate Admissions and Outreach (UAO) aims to inspire and enable talented minds to reach extraordinary futures, at Oxford and beyond. We know that some groups are still under-represented at our University, and we are committed to changing this. We are determined to attract potential from wherever it is to be found, and to be a magnet for able students regionally, nationally and internationally. Oxford University is known all over the world, and is renowned as a centre of learning that offers rigorous and intellectually-stretching degree courses, but it can feel distant and out of reach to many. Many myths abound around who studies here, how much it costs and what it is like. Oxford’s fame and reputation precede it and we realise that this can be off-putting, especially to those who haven’t yet had a chance to find out what Oxford, or even university more generally, is really like. Some students are still wary of choosing our university so we need to continue to work hard to dispel the myths and help them discover Oxford as it is. We believe that Oxford not only gives fantastic opportunities and is an enjoyable and exciting place to study but that it helps students to develop the self-belief to set them up for the future. Undergraduate outreach exists to encourage prospective students to apply to Oxford University. We aim to provide guidance and information to all those who are able to make a strong application, but especially those from under-represented groups and those who do not have as much support. We strive to make sure that all talented students can feel confident and excited about applying to Oxford. More and more people from the groups we’ve been working with have applied to Oxford recently, and many are now studying here. Whilst we are proud of this, we know that the pace of change needs to increase. We are taking a range of actions to ensure this – • • • We have significantly expanded the number of participants on our free and successful UNIQ mentoring programme for UK state school students. This programme gives a taste of Oxford undergraduate student life as well as providing expert advice on the application process for target groups. One or our current ambitions is to increase the regional diversity of our UNIQ students. We continue to work with Target Oxbridge, a free and innovative programme that aims to help black African and Caribbean students and students of mixed race with black African and Caribbean heritage increase their chances of getting into the Universities of Oxford or Cambridge. Oxford colleges have combined forces to form Oxford for UK and offer bespoke support to local students and their wider communities in every region of the UK. G7 Assessment Manager JD Mar 24v4 5 • • The University runs a range of programmes, involving collaborations between schools, education experts at the University and public sector organisations tackling social mobility and social justice, to help raise attainment in schools and encourage applications to selective universities and participation in higher education. Oxford’s financial support package for UK students is one of the most generous available, providing over £8.5 million of financial support to undergraduates from lower-income households. Our ambition is to ensure that no one with outstanding academic potential is deterred from studying here because of their background, personal circumstances, or finances. Around one in four UK students at Oxford currently receive a non-repayable annual bursary, such as an Oxford Bursary or Crankstart Scholarships, which can be worth up to £5,000 per year. We continue to be determined to improve equality of opportunity at each stage of the student journey. Our key challenge is to improve the opportunities for admission for those from disadvantaged backgrounds who fail to receive an offer, or who, because of prior academic attainment or educational opportunity, are not able to make competitive applications. Our Evaluation team works to ensure that our activities are evidence-based and support our strategic objectives. Recently we have supported the University’s development of two major new initiatives to further these objectives: • • Opportunity Oxford – This bridging programme is an ambitious academic course that helps to prepare talented UK offer-holders from under-represented backgrounds for successful student careers at our University. We aim to offer 200 places a year from the 2022-entry admissions round onwards. Astrophoria Foundation Year – This one-year foundation year programme is for UK state school students with significant academic potential, who have experienced severe personal disadvantage and/or disrupted education which has resulted in them being unable to apply directly for an Oxford undergraduate degree programme. Students will be supported through a challenging academic course; on condition that they have completed their foundation year at the required level, students will progress onto their chosen undergraduate degree course at Oxford. Up to 50 places will be offered each year, with the first students being admitted for entry in September 2023. There’s much more detail on who attends Oxford in the Annual Admissions Statistical Report available at ox.ac.uk/adstats The University has access targets which form part of the Access and Participation Plan between the University of Oxford and the Office for Students. Our Access and Participation Plan is available to download. Another important part of the role of UAO is to oversee admissions to the University’s colleges for undergraduate courses and to manage contact between the University and UCAS. We provide guidance for Oxford colleges and centrally co-ordinate the admissions process. We provide data and management information on admissions and recruitment and support training courses on admissions-related matters. A key role of UAO is to provide a central schools and colleges liaison service for the University and Colleges in order to ensure a strong recruitment strategy across the UK, Europe and Internationally. Activities include school and college visits, higher education fairs, student conferences, open days, and a wide variety of teacher events. We deal with thousands of young people every year and our teams travel throughout the UK and beyond. In addition, UAO services a number of committees, responds to government consultations, and staff attend a number of nationally and regionally based groups. In association with the University’s Public Relations Office, we deal with the media and develop policy in areas of access and admissions alongside colleagues in the colleges and the University. More information about our outreach activities and admissions to Oxford can be found at www.ox.ac.uk/study. Academic Administration Division The Academic Administration Division (AAD) is the University’s group of services focused on students and learning. We provide support and information that students need to thrive in their academic and personal lives, and G7 Assessment Manager JD Mar 24v4 6 encourage the professional and educational development of our staff. We operate in close collaboration with colleagues in central, divisional, departmental, and college administration, as well as with academic staff and students. The AAD’s work supports the student career from pre-admission through to graduation and beyond, and promotes the development of coherent systems and services across Oxford to underpin this. We focus on: - Student recruitment: Attracting the best undergraduate and postgraduate students through outreach and admissions, and advising students through the admissions process. - Student services: Offering high-quality services to students once they arrive at Oxford, including counselling and disability services, sports, language courses, a careers service, and fees and funding. - Student administration: Managing the University’s student data, registration, examinations, and degree ceremonies, advising on visas and immigration; and developing our student systems. - Educational policy: Helping to develop and implement educational policies, upholding legislation, and providing quality assurance. We also support academic and professional staff and the wider Oxford community through our language, sport, and professional and educational development services. The AAD comprises: the Careers Service, Education Policy Support, Graduate Admissions, the Language Centre, the Oxford Learning Institute, Fees and Funding, Student Registry, Student Systems, Student Welfare and Support Services, Undergraduate Admissions and Outreach, and University Sport. They are supported by two professional support functions: AAD Administration and AAD Communications.

We are the Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science, at the University of Oxford, led by Prof. Ben Goldacre. We are seeking software developers to join us in supporting and expanding OpenSAFELY, a revolutionary open source platform for secure clinical research. Conceived at the start of the COVID-19 crisis, this has been used extensively to produce ground-breaking research using an unprecedented corpus of patient data which is not available anywhere else. Our research has been published in high profile journals such as Nature, and won praise from media outlets like The Economist, and patient advocacy groups like medConfidential. Since 2020, the platform has been developed and supported by a small team. We have now secured funding to secure and accelerate the development of OpenSAFELY for the foreseeable future as a core part of national health data infrastructure: the NHS England OpenSAFELYService. About Us We are a small, productive team of software professionals, academics, and clinicians, all pooling skills and knowledge to build platforms and tools as well as traditional academic papers. Our work is influential: it features in high-profile mainstream media stories, drives the agenda at parliamentary committees, was regularly referenced in SAGE meetings during the pandemic, and is published in a wide range of very high impact journals. We are currently focussing on growing the OpenSAFELY platform, in both health and non-health fields (including data-driven research about education in schools). We have achieved public support for working with sensitive data because OpenSAFELY is an innovative, open source research environment which places patient privacy first. Our platform is productive: it has produced more high-impact academic outputs than any other similar Trusted Research Environment in the country. You can read a summary of press coverage on the OpenSAFELY website. We don’t just produce papers and tools; we advocate for better use of software, including our campaign for all research to share their code. About OpenSAFELY Our vision is to make it easy and enjoyable to do secure, reproducible clinical analytics, and to radically democratise research access to the globally-important datasets hosted within the NHS. We are now looking to improve and expand the platform, expanding high-impact research that processes confidential data for years to come, within and outside the NHS. The framework has a distributed architecture, based on a secure, docker-based execution environment and scheduler implemented using Python, Django, Docker, and SQLite. This component is deployed within the existing, secure infrastructures of the original data processors such as TPP and EMIS. Users develop against dummy data in a local sandbox using our powerful, domain-specific query language, ehrQL (explanatory blog post), and make requests for execution against real data via a public, auditable task 2 queue (code). Authentication and authorisation is currently delegated to our GitHub organisation, where all research code repositories must be stored and tested. We also develop and maintain an innovative clinical coding authoring and validation suite called OpenCodelists. In the future, we plan to develop further standalone tools to improve the rigour and reproducibility of clinical research, for example around privacy, and “synthetic” data. The final core element in our roadmap is community development: we aim to create a vibrant open science network around the framework. Following the success of OpenSAFELY in healthcare research, we are now exploring expanding its use to other domains such as education provision.

Humanities Division The Humanities Division is one of four academic divisions in the University of Oxford, each with a full-time Head and elected Board. The Humanities Division is distinctive for its depth and breadth. Its activity spans nine faculties, one School and two independent research institutes: the faculties of Classics; English; History; Linguistics, Philology and Phonetics; Medieval and Modern Languages; Music; Asian & Middle Eastern Studies; Philosophy; and Theology and Religion; the Ruskin School of Art; the Rothermere American Institute and the Voltaire Foundation. Interdisciplinary links within and beyond the University are strong, extending to the social sciences, medical sciences and the natural and physical sciences. One of the largest centres for Humanities internationally, with over 800 members of academic and research staff, the Division offers world-class research and teaching, backed by the superb resources of the University’s libraries and museums, including the famous Bodleian Library, with its 11 million volumes and priceless early book and manuscript collections, the Pitt Rivers Museum, the History of Science Museum and the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology. Such historic resources are linked to cutting-edge agendas in research and teaching, with an increasing emphasis on interdisciplinary study and digital Humanities. The outstanding quality of Humanities research at Oxford is recognised globally. This reputation for research excellence contributes to the University coming top of several international rankings for Arts and Humanities, including the US News and World Report rankings and the QS World University Rankings by Subject. The Division’s faculties are among the largest in the world, enabling Oxford to offer an education in Arts and Humanities unparalleled in its range of subjects, from music and fine art to ancient and modern languages. The Division has responsibility for over 4,000 undergraduates (a third of the University’s total undergraduate population), and for over 2,000 postgraduate students (over 1,100 doctoral students and some 900 Master’s students). Twenty-nine undergraduate courses are offered in Humanities subjects, seven of which are offered jointly with the other academic divisions. The Doctoral and Master’s programmes offered are distributed across all of the Division’s faculties, along with a suite of Master’s courses offered with the Social Sciences Division and a growing portfolio of Master’s courses that draw from across the Humanities. The Division is part of the OpenOxford Cambridge AHRC Doctoral Training Partnership. The Humanities Division has embarked on a major building project on the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter, supported by a £185 million gift to create the Stephen A. Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities. For more information please visit: http://www.humanities.ox.ac.uk/ The Schwarzman Centre The teaching and study of the humanities is so important because it tells the story of what it means to be human who we are, where we came from, and how our culture, literature and language have developed over time. With over 700 academic staff and 6,000 students, Oxford Humanities leads the world in the breadth and depth of 172277 RA in Digital Iconography_FINAL 3 subject coverage and the quality of teaching and research. But don’t just take our word for it - the latest QS World University Rankings placed us at number one. The new Humanities building will take our teaching, research and public engagement to new heights. For the first time in the University’s history, seven humanities faculties will be housed together along with a new library. These disciplines are currently scattered in buildings across Oxford but they will be united in a new building designed to encourage cross-disciplinary study and research. Academics in the building will work together to tackle some of the most pressing questions of our time. As well as a new Institute for Ethics in Artificial Intelligence, they will consider the environment and how society rebuilds after the pandemic. Crucially, the building will be open to the public, and we aim to bring research and performance in the arts and humanities to new audiences. There will be dedicated space for schoolchildren to visit and engage with Oxford’s researchers. There will be exhibition space and three new performance venues for music, theatre, drama, dance, lectures and more. A new Cultural Programme will bring the world's leading performers and artists to Oxford. Our venues will also be open to regional cultural organisations, with whom Oxford researchers will strengthen partnerships.

Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences A top ranked centre for academic primary care in the UK, we lead world-class research and training to rethink the way healthcare is delivered in general practice and other primary care settings, both across the UK and globally. Integrating evidence and innovation, our main research focus is on enhancing prevention, early diagnosis and management of common illness. Our research is led by internationally renowned scientists, many of whom are practising GPs and primary care clinicians, but many others are psychologists, epidemiologists, sociologists, and public health academics. We cover the broad range of issues that you might expect to address in the community, including cardiovascular and metabolic disease, infectious diseases and childhood illness, diet, smoking and cancer. We also focus on understanding and improving the experiences of patients, rigorously evaluating the effectiveness of treatments and diagnostics, utilising big data, developing digital health interventions and working internationally. We have methodological expertise in novel clinical trial design and implementation, clinical decision making and diagnostics, clinical epidemiology, medical statistics, behavioural science, modelling, qualitative research and the wider application of social science theory and methods to address practical and theoretical challenges in health and care settings. The department was established in October 1998 (as the Department of Primary Health Care) with the appointment of a foundation chair in general practice, and was made a free-standing department in 2011 with the first Oxford statutory chair in primary care. We provide a strong multi-disciplinary training environment, a full programme of academic support and good IT facilities. Our ability to collaborate with other epidemiological and community based research groups across the University and with GP surgeries locally and nationally enables us to utilise a broad range of relevant expertise into our teaching and research. 4 Our main research themes coalesce around cardiovascular disease and diabetes, infection, cancer, health behaviours, and digital health, with several cross-cutting themes, including disease prevention, early diagnosis, and patient self-management, big data and new clinical themes. We place inclusivity and diversity at the forefront of our approach to research from design and conduct through to the dissemination of our findings. The department has exceptional infrastructure, including the long-established Primary Care Clinical Trials Unit, one of the most expert CTU’s for trials conducted in community settings. We also host the Oxford Institute for Digital Health, the Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science, the Oxford Centre for EvidenceBased Medicine; the Interdisciplinary Research in Health Sciences research group (which uses both quantitative and qualitative methods to examine the human, organisational and societal issues relating to the delivery of healthcare and the improvement of health services) and the Medical Sociology and Health Experiences Research Group (MS&HERG), which is a centre of excellence in qualitative research methods and conducts studies of experiences of health and illness, digital health and organisation and delivery of care. The department is a founding member of the National Institute for Health Care Research (NIHR) School of Primary Care Research, houses both the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration (ARC), Oxford Thames Valley and the NIHR MedTech and In Vitro Diagnostics Co-operative (MIC), and leads several themes of the Oxford University Hospital and Oxford Health BRCs. In terms of methodologies, as well as our critical mass of social scientists and computer/information scientists, the department supports one of the largest groups of medical statisticians in medical sciences and a growing team of health economists. Clinicians in our department teach a number of threads in the undergraduate course in Medicine and we place students in GP practices as part of their training. We run a very successful, well established MSc programme in Evidence Based Health Care, and a new MSc in Translational Health Science with the Department of Continuing Education. In 2023 we will accept students to a new MSc in Applied Digital Health and to an MSc in Global Health Care Leadership run in partnership with the Said Business School.

The Institute has capacity for up to 260 staff and students who work collaboratively across 25 research groups. This enables a multidisciplinary approach of molecular and cellular biology, combined with analysis of disease models, patient tissue samples and longitudinal clinical data. Collectively, these studies seek to uncover the biological processes that maintain tissue health and how these pathways break down in disease. Research at the Institute is supported by a suite of core technology platforms, as well as through strategic partnerships with other basic and clinical research centres in Oxford, across the UK and internationally. These state-of-the-art technologies include the Oxford-Zeiss Centre for Excellence and other advanced microscopy and imaging facilities, mass and flow cytometry, as well as capabilities for microbial genomics and functional microbiome studies made available through the Oxford Centre for Microbiome Studies. Complementing a strong programme of lab-based research, the Institute has established a core of expertise and technologies in data science including single cell genomics, statistical genetics, computational biology, and research informatics. A recent extension to the Institute building with a new third floor creates additional space purposely designed for computationally intensive research. A true trendsetter in innovative and transformational research, the Kennedy also boasts a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, revolving around its bright and airy atrium that provides a space for colleagues to meet over coffee and tea to talk about their research and beyond throughout the day.

We are the Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science, at the University of Oxford, led by Prof. Ben Goldacre. We are seeking software developers to join us in supporting and expanding OpenSAFELY, a revolutionary open source platform for secure clinical research. Conceived at the start of the COVID-19 crisis, this has been used extensively to produce ground-breaking research using an unprecedented corpus of patient data which is not available anywhere else. Our research has been published in high profile journals such as Nature, and won praise from media outlets like The Economist, and patient advocacy groups like medConfidential. Since 2020, the platform has been developed and supported by a small team. We have now secured funding to secure and accelerate the development of OpenSAFELY for the foreseeable future as a core part of national health data infrastructure: the NHS England OpenSAFELYService. About Us We are a small, productive team of software professionals, academics, and clinicians, all pooling skills and knowledge to build platforms and tools as well as traditional academic papers. Our work is influential: it features in high-profile mainstream media stories, drives the agenda at parliamentary committees, was regularly referenced in SAGE meetings during the pandemic, and is published in a wide range of very high impact journals. We are currently focussing on growing the OpenSAFELY platform, in both health and non-health fields (including data-driven research about education in schools). We have achieved public support for working with sensitive data because OpenSAFELY is an innovative, open source research environment which places patient privacy first. Our platform is productive: it has produced more high-impact academic outputs than any other similar Trusted Research Environment in the country. You can read a summary of press coverage on the OpenSAFELY website. We don’t just produce papers and tools; we advocate for better use of software, including our campaign for all research to share their code. About OpenSAFELY Our vision is to make it easy and enjoyable to do secure, reproducible clinical analytics, and to radically democratise research access to the globally-important datasets hosted within the NHS. We are now looking to improve and expand the platform, expanding high-impact research that processes confidential data for years to come, within and outside the NHS. The framework has a distributed architecture, based on a secure, docker-based execution environment and scheduler implemented using Python, Django, Docker, and SQLite. This component is deployed within the existing, secure infrastructures of the original data processors such as TPP and EMIS. Users develop against dummy data in a local sandbox using our powerful, domain-specific query language, ehrQL (explanatory blog post), and make requests for execution against real data via a public, auditable task queue (code). Authentication and authorisation is currently delegated to our GitHub organisation, where all research code repositories must be stored and tested. We also develop and maintain an innovative clinical coding authoring and validation suite called OpenCodelists. In the future, we plan to develop further standalone tools to improve the rigour and reproducibility of clinical research, for example around Job_Description_and_Selection_Criteria_Template_August 2023.doc 2 privacy, and “synthetic” data. The final core element in our roadmap is community development: we aim to create a vibrant open science network around the framework. Following the success of OpenSAFELY in healthcare research, we are now exploring expanding its use to other domains such as education provision. The role We are seeking a very experienced software developer to contribute to the technical direction of our OpenSAFELY platform. This role blends hands-on software development with collaborative decisionmaking. Your responsibilities will include platform design, aligning technical strategies across projects, and implementing practical solutions that meet our organisation's evolving needs.

For more information, please visit www.ox.ac.uk/about/organisation. The Latin American Centre The post-holder will be a member of the Latin American Centre programme. The LAC offers a one-year MSc in Latin American Studies, a two-year MPhil in Latin American Studies and, through OSGA, a DPhil in Area Studies (Latin America), bringing together over 20 students working on the region at a graduate level. The LAC’s masters’ programmes concentrate on the modern history, politics, economics, international relations and sociology of the region. The LAC also acts as a hub for the study of Latin America across a wide range of disciplines in Oxford. Visiting academics and visiting doctoral students, from within and outside the United Kingdom, add to a vibrant community of scholars working on a variety of topics of central concern for the region. As a centre for the study of the region, the LAC serves as a venue for debating ongoing research and relevant current affairs. Leading international scholars and key public figures from the region regularly contribute to the LAC’s flagship weekly seminar. The LAC also runs a Brazilian Studies programme, which hosts a yearly conference on Brazil as well as regular academic visitors from Brazil, including a Rio Branco Professor. A History seminar meets once a week; a programme that often includes joint events with other universities in Europe and the Americas. In addition, the LAC hosts a DPhil seminar that brings together doctoral students across the university studying topics related to Latin America from a wide range of disciplines in the social sciences and humanities. The LAC is housed on the premises of St Antony’s College, with which it is closely connected, although students and some members of the academic staff are also members of other Oxford colleges. An important part of the LAC is the Bodleian Latin American Library, located on the ground floor and basement of our building. Its 16,000 volumes, together with journals, microfilms and DVDs, form an important specialist lending collection for those studying Latin American social sciences and history. 7 To find out more about the Latin American Centre Programme, see https://www.lac.ox.ac.uk/ The Oxford School of Global and Area Studies The School represents a commitment by the University to enhancing teaching and research in Area Studies. It brings together seven units: the African Studies Centre, the Latin American Centre (including the Brazilian Studies Programme), the Nissan Institute of Japanese Studies, the Contemporary China Studies Programme, Russian and East European Studies, the Contemporary South Asia Studies Programme and the Middle East Programme. The administration of the School is based at 12 Bevington Road, with colleagues also providing administrative support across a number of locations in which the School’s constituent units are based (including the Nissan Institute of Japanese Studies at St Antony’s College and the University of Oxford China Centre at St Hugh’s College). The School is devoted to research and graduate teaching in academic disciplines which attempt to understand the complexity and the interrelatedness of society through anthropology, economics, politics, history, sociology and culture. Its teaching and research seek to take into account both the insights provided by the separate disciplines and the contextualisation provided by in-depth knowledge of specific regions and countries. Interdisciplinary collaboration to study specific social processes is encouraged, and a distinctive feature of the School is the number of its academic staff who hold joint appointments in the School and a disciplinary department in the Social Sciences or Humanities Divisions. In the most recent national research quality assessment exercise (REF2021), Area Studies at Oxford – comprising staff in the School and the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies in the Humanities Division - was judged to account for more world-leading (4*) research than any other Area Studies department in the UK. The School admits around 160 graduate students a year on Masters and DPhil programmes, across the African Studies Centre, Latin American Centre, the Nissan Institute of Japanese Studies, Russian and East European Studies, Contemporary South Asia, Contemporary Chinese Studies, Middle East Studies, and the comparative Master’s programme in Global and Area Studies. Additionally, the School’s academic staff supervise doctoral students and teach on a range of undergraduate programmes in other parts of the University. Further information about the OSGA, its component units, its staff, courses and research activities can be found on its website at www.area-studies.ox.ac.uk The School holds a Bronze Athena Swan Award to recognise the advancement of gender equality, representation and progression. The Social Sciences Division The University’s academic departments and faculties are organised into four large groups known as Academic Divisions (Social Sciences, Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences (MPLS), Medical Sciences, and Humanities). The divisions are responsible for academic strategy and operational planning, oversight of the teaching and research of their constituent departments and faculties, and for personnel and resource management. The social sciences at Oxford are distinctive for both their depth and breadth, with over 1,100 academic and research staff working across fifteen departments, faculties and schools. 8 The Head of the Social Sciences Division is Professor Timothy Power. The Division is a worldleading centre of research and education in the social sciences. The Times Higher Education (THE) University Rankings returned the University of Oxford to the number one spot in the world for Social Sciences in 2022. We have placed first in three of the last five years (2018, 2019 and 2022). More than 800 researchers were returned to Main Panel C (Social Sciences) for REF 2021 across a diverse range of subject area ‘units of assessment’ – from geography and business to archaeology and law. Over 55% of the research submitted from the Division was judged to be world-leading (4*, the highest score available). More than two-thirds (69%) of the research’s impact was also recognised as world-leading (4*). Research from across the Division was also submitted to subject areas across Panels A (Medicine, health and life sciences), B (Physical sciences, engineering and mathematics), and D (Arts and Humanities), highlighting the enormous breadth and diversity of research expertise across the Division. Our academic and research staff and students are international thought leaders, generating new evidence, insights and policy tools with which to address some of the major global challenges facing humanity, such as sustainable resource management, poverty and forced migration, effective governance and justice. Particular research highlights in recent years have included COVID -19 and Climate Change. As well as active interdisciplinary links with researchers in other divisions at Oxford, we engage and collaborate extensively with other universities and a wide range of governmental and nongovernmental practitioner communities such as law, business, public health and welfare, international development and education around the world. The Division has an extensive portfolio of external funders, partners and supporters, with competitivelyawarded external research income exceeding £50 million per year and philanthropic income over £25 million a year. As part of our commitment to equality of opportunity, eleven of our departments have achieved Bronze awards under the Athena Swan Charter (a UK accreditation scheme recognising organisations’ commitment to equality and diversity, particularly in gender). Our School of Geography and the Environment holds an Athena Swan Silver award. In February 2023, for the first time, the University as a whole was awarded an institutional Athena Swan Silver award, acknowledging the progress that has been made in addressing a number of gender gaps across the University over the last five years. The Division delivers an exceptional range of high-quality educational programmes all underpinned by the innovative research being undertaken by our academics. The student body is made up of over 2,000 undergraduate students, nearly 3,000 students studying postgraduate taught programmes and 1,200 postgraduate research students. The programmes we offer are wide-ranging, often interdisciplinary and include professionallyoriented provision in areas such as business, law and education. The Division is home to several of Oxford’s most widely recognised teaching programmes, such as Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) at undergraduate level; and at the Masters level programmes such as the Bachelor in Civil Law (BCL), Environmental Change and Management, International Relations, and Social Data Science.

All students, whatever their course combinations and including beginners, will study literature from the 1880s to the beginning of the 21st century via a selection of representative works intended to introduce aspects of the development of genre while also addressing important themes of class, gender, and minority ethnic and racial identity in the Germanspeaking countries over the course of the long twentieth century. While you will engage with questions of literary style, language, and characterisation, and the ways in which authors experiment with these aspects of their craft, you will also be encouraged to see literature as a space for critical debate, in which a range of views and experiences are portrayed and analysed. Taking in canonical authors as well as Jewish and female perspectives, and including one film, the course engages with issues of inclusion and marginalisation and the impacts of systems of power. Non-beginners also study a diverse selection of poetry from the late medieval period to the present. German Sole students (i.e. those studying only German with no other language or Joint Schools subject) take additional papers, detailed below. Your language work will include classes focussed on grammar and translation, aimed at improving your confidence in written and spoken German as well as your comprehension. Language work complements and enhances your study of German culture (and vice versa), and constitutes half of the Prelims course. The Sub-Faculty’s commitment to highlighting the diversity of German-language culture is therefore a key element of our language teaching, too. In classes with the Lektor*innen, you will learn to discuss confidently topics including nationalism and ethnic difference, gender and women’s emancipation, environmental issues, education and political systems. Translation classes in your college will help you to hone your style and expression in German and in English, while also introducing you to writers of various backgrounds from the 20th and 21st centuries. LITERATURE Paper III Drama and Poetry: Essay and Commentary All non-beginners will study four prescribed dramas for this paper in Michaelmas Term (see prescription below) and in addition a selection of poems from the anthology Deutsche Gedichte 1500 Gedichte von den Anfängen bis zur Gegenwart, edited by Hans-Joachim Simm (Insel, 2009) ISBN 3458174400.

DESCRIPTION OF FINAL HONOUR SCHOOL PAPERS IN GERMAN PAPER VIII: MODERN GERMAN LITERATURE (1770 TO THE PRESENT): TEXTS, CONTEXTS AND ISSUES The purpose of this paper is to allow you to study topics across the whole range of modern literature written in German. It runs from the latter part of the eighteenth century, which saw the emergence of classical drama, domestic realism, and hymnic poetry addressed to God and nature, down to the present day, in which writers are exploring the implications of German unification after forty years of division and the experiences of under-privileged groups (women, homosexuals, immigrants and ethnic minorities in German-speaking societies). During this period, modern German literature developed an enormous richness and diversity, influenced by (and sometimes influencing) a series of dramatic historical events: the French Revolution, Napoleon’s conquests, the post-1815 repression under Metternich, the 1848 revolutions, the founding of the German Empire in 1871, the decline of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the First World War and the establishment of German and Austrian republics, the Third Reich, war and genocide, the division of Germany into capitalist and communist states, the collapse of the Eastern bloc, and the united Germany’s new but problematic centrality in European affairs. It is important to see the literature of the period within this historical framework. Within this period, you may, in consultation with your tutor, have tutorials on individual authors or on several texts grouped by genre or theme; different tutors approach this period in diverse ways. Subjects most often studied include G. E. Lessing and the Enlightenment, the collaboration of J. W. Goethe and Friedrich Schiller in Weimar, Heinrich von Kleist; the Romantic ‘Märchen’; the nineteenthcentury ‘Novelle’; Georg Büchner, Heinrich Heine, Theodor Fontane, Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Thomas Mann, Rainer Maria Rilke, Franz Kafka, Bertolt Brecht; Naturalist drama; the advent of the New Woman in the 1920s, for example in the work of Irmgard Keun; Expressionist poetry and drama; documentary drama of the post-war period; the great post-Holocaust Jewish poets Paul Celan and Nelly Sachs; the literature of the GDR; such post-1945 writers as Heinrich Böll, Günter Grass, Marlen Haushofer, Christa Wolf, Ingeborg Bachmann and W. G. Sebald; and the contribution to contemporary German-language literature and cinema of writers and filmmakers from diverse cultural backgrounds: from TurkishGerman (Fatih Akın, Feridun Zaimoğlu, Emine Sevgi Özdamar), Russian-Jewish (Vladimir Kaminer, Sasha Marianna Salzmann) to Syrian (Rafik Schami), Iranian (Navid Kermani), and Japanese (Yoko Tawada) heritage. The flexibility of the paper allows for the integration of topics such as race and colonialism, Black German writing, intersectional and transnational identities, ecocriticism, to name but a few. With 13 each author you study, you should try to read enough texts to gain an overview of the individual oeuvre, but also to place each writer in the wider literary and historical context. There is no canon or list of prescribed authors, and you are encouraged to think in terms of topics. Through sampling a succession of writers, you should become aware of literature as a historical phenomenon in which there are both constants and changes. As the blank spaces on your map of the period get filled in, you should look out for essentials, be ready to make comparisons, and take an interest in larger developments - of form, style, ideas, choice of subjects etc. - beyond the individual work and individual writer. Reading for this paper should be going on throughout your course: you should be reading more works by writers on whom you have already worked, preparing writers on whom you intend to work (often with the help of lectures); and generally exploring the detail and layout of the period. Teaching There are core lectures on this paper providing an introduction to and overview of the 18 th century (in Michaelmas), the 19th century (in Hilary) and the 20th-21st centuries (in Trinity). Many lecture series on individual authors or genres, given at all stages of the course, are also relevant to this paper. In addition, there are from time to time lecture series (and also lecture circuses in which each lecture is given by a different speaker) that look at continuities within the period as a whole, look in depth at a particular period (e.g. the post-1945 era), or explore the long-term development of a genre (e.g. drama, poetry, novel or ‘Novelle’). Core teaching for this paper is arranged by colleges. It may consist of tutorials, seminars, or a mixture of both. Examination Paper VIII contains about fifty questions, of which any three are to be answered in an open-book online examination written within a period of five hours. There are no restrictions on the questions you may answer: the division into five sections is merely to help you find your way through the exam paper. Topics covered by the questions should typically include: general thematic and other issues, genre, period, history, national literatures, film and the non-literary arts, philosophy, gender, race and minority identity. The examiners consult tutors about the authors and topics taught for this paper before setting it. You may not use material in your answers that overlaps substantially with any prescribed author or Special Subject paper or Dissertation (Paper XIV) you are offering. Introductory Reading Besides reading as many primary texts as possible in the vacation before starting this paper, you should also consult books that help to structure your developing knowledge of the period, e.g.: F.

Die Großbibliothek: a searchable DVD text database of most significant German texts from the early 16th century to the Weimar Republic, in reasonably good editions. PAPER X: MODERN PRESCRIBED AUTHORS This paper complements the broader sweep of the period papers by providing the opportunity to study in depth the work of two of the most important and challenging German writers from the early modern period to the present. You will read widely within the work of your two authors, set them in their intellectual and historical context, and study closely one (or two) central works that are prescribed for special study, with a view to detailed textual analysis. The authors to select from are: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe; E.T.A. Hoffmann; Heinrich Heine; Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach; Rainer Maria Rilke; Franz Kafka; Bertolt Brecht; Ingeborg Bachmann; Elfriede Jelinek; The Berlin School of film makers. Teaching This paper is normally taught in four tutorials for each author, perhaps with three essays and one commentary; practice varies, but you may well start them in your second year. It may be wise to do a substantial amount of the work on your chosen period first, in order to have a background against which to select two authors for more thorough study. Some of them require a knowledge of long works of fiction that should be read, or reread, during your year abroad. There are lectures on each of the authors in most years, and in the Hilary and Trinity Terms there are normally commentary classes to enable finalists to practise the skill of commenting in detail on passages from the set texts. Examination The paper is examined by an open-book online examination written within a period of five hours in which you will answer three questions: one must be an essay on one of your authors, the other an essay on your other author, and the third must be a critical commentary on a passage set from the prescribed text by one of your authors. The examination paper will contain one commentary passage and six essay titles for each author. You are not permitted to write an essay on the text that you have selected for the commentary. 15 """^^ . . . . "2024-05-10T12:00:00+01:00"^^ . . . "Departmental Lecturer in Philosophy of Language" .

Faculty of Philosophy The Oxford Philosophy Faculty has over 150 academic members, all of whom are undertaking teaching and/or research in Philosophy at Oxford. Of these, around 60 hold permanent posts within the Faculty or the colleges; many distinguished philosophers hold posts elsewhere in the University. Oxford thus contains the largest group of philosophers in the UK, and one of the largest in the world. It has a vigorous research culture, and performed outstandingly in the most recent UK Research Excellence Framework, achieving the highest volume of world-leading (4* ranked) philosophy research of any unit in the country. Each year, many distinguished philosophers from around the world visit Oxford to give lectures and seminars. There are over fourteen hundred students studying Philosophy at undergraduate level, always in combination with at least one other subject, and around 150 graduate students, about half of whom are studying for the BPhil or the specialist MSt courses in Ancient Philosophy, Philosophy of Physics and Practical Ethics, and the rest for the DPhil. A list of current Faculty members and their research interests can be found on the Philosophy Faculty website at: http://www.philosophy.ox.ac.uk/faculty-members. Further information about the Faculty can be found on its website at: http://www.philosophy.ox.ac.uk. Humanities Division The Humanities Division is one of four academic divisions in the University of Oxford, bringing together the following faculties: Classics; English; History; Linguistics, Philology and Phonetics; Medieval and Modern Languages; Music; Oriental Studies; Philosophy; Theology and Religion; the Ruskin School of Art. The Division has over 500 members of academic staff, approximately 4,100 undergraduates (more than a third of the total undergraduate population of the University), 1,000 postgraduate research students and 720 students on postgraduate taught courses. The Division offers world-class teaching and research, backed by the superb resources of the University's libraries and museums, including the famous Bodleian Libraries, with their 11 million volumes and priceless early book and manuscript collections, and the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology. Such historic resources are linked to cutting-edge agendas in research and teaching, with an increasing emphasis on interdisciplinary study. Our faculties are among the largest in the world, enabling Oxford to offer an education in Arts and Humanities unparalleled in its range of subjects, from music and fine art to ancient and modern languages. The Humanities Division has embarked on a major building project on the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter, following the recent announcement of the £150 million gift to create the Stephen A. Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities. The Schwarzman Centre will serve as a dynamic hub dedicated to the Humanities. The building will bring together seven Humanities faculties, the Humanities Divisional Office, a new library and significant cultural and public engagement spaces in a space designed to encourage experiential learning and bold 5 experimentation through cross-disciplinary and collaborative study. The Faculty of Philosophy will move to the Schwarzman Centre upon the completion of the project. For more information please visit: www.humanities.ox.ac.uk Hertford College There are 39 self-governing and independent colleges at Oxford, giving both academic staff and students the benefits of belonging to a small, interdisciplinary community as well as to a large, internationallyrenowned institution. The collegiate system fosters a strong sense of community, bringing together leading academics and students across subjects, and from different cultures and countries. The College is a teaching and research institution. The present Hertford College dates from 1874, when Magdalen Hall (founded in 1480, and including William Tyndale and Thomas Hobbes amongst its alumni) was dissolved and incorporated as the new Hertford College. The College is also heir to the tradition of the medieval Hart Hall, founded in the 1280s by Elias de Hertford (and whose alumnae include John Donne and Jonathan Swift). The main College site consists of a mixture of buildings dating from the 16th to 20th century, and is complemented by more modern accommodation for graduates and undergraduates situated in other locations around Oxford. The Fellowship, which has responsibility for the governance of the College, currently consists of around 50 fellows. The College is home to roughly 700 students, of whom undergraduates form a majority. Like fellows, both graduates and undergraduates are drawn from a range of disciplines across the Humanities, Sciences, and Social Sciences. Hertford College has a reputation for being both progressive and friendly. It has championed access for students from schools that have not traditionally encouraged Oxford applications, and has a strong academic ethos. As a lecturer at Hertford, the postholder will receive associate membership of Hertford’s Senior Common Room (SCR), and, when kitchens are open, lunch in college while undertaking teaching duties in term time and during vacations, and two dinners each week during term time (weeks 0-9) without cost. The postholder will also be entitled to an academic allowance (£270 at current rates).

For quantum computers to be used practically, a large number of qubits need to be controlled with absolute precision and without errors. This is an extremely difficult task. The need to calibrate individual qubits, either to maximise fidelity initially or when parameters drift, constitutes a complicated and repetitive process, requiring deep understanding of the set-up and “muscle memory”. This process remains specific to the qubit type and limited to a handful of qubits. You will develop scalable and autonomous calibration frameworks to optimise quantum device performance.

We are the Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science, at the University of Oxford, led by Prof. Ben Goldacre. We are seeking software developers to join us in supporting and expanding OpenSAFELY, a revolutionary open source platform for secure clinical research. Conceived at the start of the COVID-19 crisis, this has been used extensively to produce ground-breaking research using an unprecedented corpus of patient data which is not available anywhere else. Our research has been published in high profile journals such as Nature, and won praise from media outlets like The Economist, and patient advocacy groups like medConfidential. Since 2020, the platform has been developed and supported by a small team. We have now secured funding to secure and accelerate the development of OpenSAFELY for the foreseeable future as a core part of national health data infrastructure: the NHS England OpenSAFELY Service. About Us We are a small, productive team of software professionals, academics, and clinicians, all pooling skills and knowledge to build platforms and tools as well as traditional academic papers. Our work is influential: it features in high-profile mainstream media stories, drives the agenda at parliamentary committees, was regularly referenced in SAGE meetings during the pandemic, and is published in a wide range of very high impact journals. We are currently focussing on growing the OpenSAFELY platform, in both health and non-health fields (including data-driven research about education in schools). We have achieved public support for working with sensitive data because OpenSAFELY is an innovative, open source research environment which places patient privacy first. Our platform is productive: it has produced more high-impact academic outputs than any other similar Trusted Research Environment in the country. You can read a summary of press coverage on the OpenSAFELY website. We don’t just produce papers and tools; we advocate for better use of software, including our campaign for all research to share their code. About OpenSAFELY Our vision is to make it easy and enjoyable to do secure, reproducible clinical analytics, and to radically democratise research access to the globally-important datasets hosted within the NHS. We are now looking to improve and expand the platform, expanding high-impact research that processes confidential data for years to come, within and outside the NHS. OpenSAFELY is designed so that users can analyse large amounts of sensitive patient data without interacting with it directly. To achieve this, users develop their code against dummy data in a local sandbox before uploading it to our GitHub organisation. They can then make requests for execution against real data via a public, auditable task queue. The requested code is executed via an OpenSAFELY component deployed within the existing, secure infrastructures of the original data processors, for example TPP and EMIS. We also develop and maintain an innovative clinical coding authoring and validation suite called OpenCodelists. In the future, we plan to develop further standalone tools to improve the rigour and reproducibility of clinical research, for example around privacy, and “synthetic” BZ23160 - Product Manager JD.docx 2 data.

A market supplement may be payable up to a total maximum salary of £81,857 Hours Full time Contract type Fixed-term until 31 October 2026 in the first instance Reporting to Director of Engineering Vacancy reference BZ24008 - 171731 The Bennett Institute This is an opportunity to help deliver life-saving research and better open science, as a core part of national NHS infrastructure, and to expand the use of our tools beyond healthcare. We are the Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science, at the University of Oxford, led by Prof Ben Goldacre. We are seeking software developers to join us in supporting and expanding OpenSAFELY, a revolutionary open source platform for secure clinical research. Conceived at the start of the COVID-19 crisis, this has been used extensively to produce ground-breaking research using an unprecedented corpus of patient data which is not available anywhere else. Our research has been published in high profile journals such as Nature, and won praise from media outlets like The Economist, and patient advocacy groups like medConfidential. Since 2020, the platform has been developed and supported by a small team. We have now secured funding to secure and accelerate the development of OpenSAFELY for the foreseeable future as a core part of national health data infrastructure: the NHS England OpenSAFELY Service. About Us We are a small, productive team of software professionals, academics, and clinicians, all pooling skills and knowledge to build platforms and tools as well as traditional academic papers. Our work is influential: it features in high-profile mainstream media stories, drives the agenda at parliamentary committees, was regularly referenced in SAGE meetings during the pandemic, and is published in a wide range of very high impact journals. We are currently focussing on growing the OpenSAFELY platform, in both health and non-health fields (including data-driven research about education in schools). We have achieved public support for working with sensitive data because OpenSAFELY is an innovative, open source research environment which places patient privacy first. Our platform is productive: it has produced more high-impact academic outputs than any other similar Trusted Research Environment in the country. You can read a summary of press coverage on the OpenSAFELY website. We don’t just produce papers and tools; we advocate for better use of software, including our campaign for all research to share their code. About OpenSAFELY Our vision is to make it easy and enjoyable to do secure, reproducible clinical analytics, and to radically democratise research access to the globally-important datasets hosted within the NHS. We are now looking to improve and expand the platform, expanding high-impact research that processes confidential data for years to come, within and outside the NHS. The framework has a distributed architecture, based on a secure, docker-based execution environment and scheduler implemented using Python, Django, Docker, and SQLite. This component is deployed within the existing, secure infrastructures of the original data processors such as TPP and EMIS. Users develop against dummy data in a local sandbox using our powerful, domain-specific query language, ehrQL (explanatory blog post), and make requests for execution against real data via a public, auditable task queue (code). Authentication and authorisation is currently delegated to our GitHub organisation, where all research code repositories must be stored and tested. We also develop and maintain an innovative clinical coding authoring and validation suite called OpenCodelists. In the future, we plan to develop Job_Description_and_Selection_Criteria_Template_August 2023.doc 2 further standalone tools to improve the rigour and reproducibility of clinical research, for example around privacy, and “synthetic” data. The final core element in our roadmap is community development: we aim to create a vibrant open science network around the framework. Following the success of OpenSAFELY in healthcare research, we are now exploring expanding its use to other domains such as education provision. The role We are seeking an experienced software developer to play a lead role in the development of the OpenSAFELY platform, and the fast-growing engineering team. This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys technical leadership and running small teams, but also wishes to maintain an element of frontline, hands-on engineering.

School of Anthropology and Museum Ethnography The School of Anthropology and Museum Ethnography (SAME) is renowned for its broad and interdisciplinary approach to anthropology, its commitment to long-term ethnographic fieldwork, and its association with the Pitt Rivers Museum and the anthropology of visual and material culture. It has also become known as a centre for medical and ecological anthropology, migration studies, evolutionary anthropology, cognition and culture, and science and technology studies. Home to over sixty members of academic staff and researchers, over a hundred doctoral students in two doctoral programmes, eight Master’s programmes, and two undergraduate degrees, Oxford anthropology is one of the world’s largest and most exciting centres for teaching and research in the discipline. The School brings together a number of institutes and centres. These include the Institute of Human Sciences (IHS), home to our interdisciplinary undergraduate programme and research on the evolution of human behaviour drawing on a diverse range of approaches, including biology, primatology, palaeoanthropology, cultural evolution, and psychology. The Institute of Social and Cultural Anthropology (ISCA) is a world-leading centre for comparative, empirically grounded research in anthropology, including ethnographic, historical, medical, material, visual and bio-cultural approaches. The Centre on Migration, Policy and Society (COMPAS) provides a strategic, integrated research approach to understanding contemporary and future migration dynamics in the UK and EU.

Social Sciences Division The University’s academic departments and faculties are organised into four large groups, known as Academic Divisions (Social Sciences, Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences (MPLS), Medical Sciences, and Humanities). The divisions are responsible for academic strategy and operational planning, oversight of the teaching and research of their constituent departments and faculties, and for personnel and resource management. The social sciences at Oxford are distinctive for both their depth and breadth, with over 1,000 academic and research staff working across fifteen departments, faculties and schools. The Division is a world-leading centre of research and education in the social sciences. The Times Higher Education (THE) University Rankings placed the University of Oxford as number one in the world for Social Sciences in 2018 and 2019. REF 2014 confirmed Oxford as the UK powerhouse for research in the social sciences, accounting for more 4* research than any other institution. Our academic and research staff and students are international thought leaders, generating new evidence, insights and policy tools with which to address some of the major global challenges facing humanity, such as sustainable resource management, poverty and forced migration, effective governance and justice. As well as active interdisciplinary links with researchers in other divisions at Oxford, we engage and collaborate extensively with other universities and a wide range of governmental and non-governmental practitioner communities such as law, business, public health and welfare, international development and education around the world. The Division has an extensive portfolio of external funders, partners and supporters, with competitively-awarded external research income exceeding £50 million per year and philanthropic income over £25 million a year. As part of our commitment to equality of opportunity, eight of our departments have achieved bronze Athena SWAN awards: the Blavatnik School of Government, Economics, Education, International Development, Law, Geography & the Environment, Anthropology & Museum Ethnography and the Saïd Business School, with all our other departments either in the process of applying or scheduled to do so shortly. The Division delivers an exceptional range of high-quality educational programmes all underpinned by the innovative research being undertaken by our academics. The student body is made up of over 2,000 undergraduate students, nearly 3,000 students studying postgraduate taught programmes and 1,200 postgraduate research students. The programmes we offer are wide-ranging, often interdisciplinary and include professionally-oriented provision in areas such as business, law and education. The Division is home to several of Oxford’s most widely recognised teaching programmes, such as Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) at undergraduate level; and at the Masters level programmes such as the Bachelor in Civil Law (BCL), Environmental Change and Management, International Relations, and Social Data Science.

The School of Archaeology The School - the main units of which are the Institute of Archaeology and the Research Laboratory for Archaeology - is made up of three main research and teaching groups: prehistoric archaeology, classical and historical archaeology, and science- based archaeology. Oxford is one of few places in the world where these three aspects of archaeology exist within the same School, something that we see as a key strength and distinguishing feature. Research in the School concentrates on the last 10,000 years; we seek, however, to set these developments against a longer-term record of environmental, biological and climatic change. In the study of historic periods -- the Bronze and Iron Age Aegean, classical Greece and Rome, the Byzantine world and early Medieval Europe -- research focuses on combining archaeological and written evidence, as well as on the study of material culture, using approaches which range from the scientific analysis of pottery, glass and metal, to those which relate more closely to art history and anthropology. Recently, the School secured funding from the Welcome Trust Institutional Strategic Support Fund and the University of Oxford to re-equip the Henry Welcome Ancient Biomolecules Centre. The School is based across several buildings in the centre of Oxford, including the Institute of Archaeology in Beaumont Street, 1-2 South Parks Road and the Dyson Perrins building in the Science area. Further information about the School of Archaeology, its component units, its staff, courses and research activities can be found on its website at www.arch.ox.ac.uk. Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit (ORAU), RLAHA, School of Archaeology The ORAU is one of the world’s leading radiocarbon laboratories, helping pioneer much of the methodology that lies behind radiocarbon dating. Amongst several significant contributions the Unit has led the application of radiocarbon dating to archaeology, developed calibration and statistical modelling of radiocarbon dates for PDRA_JD_final 4 environmental sequences and archaeological sites (the widely used OxCal software), led novel developments in the chemical pre-treatment of samples for dating, notably bone, including latterly the development of AMS dating single amino acids and a range of other material types (eg insect remains), developed and improved the technique of AMS including the use of gas ion sources for small samples and pioneered GC/AMS for compound specific measurements. The ORAU has an international reputation for the quality of its research projects. Over the last decade projects funded by the NERC, Leverhulme Trust and others, have revolved around projects ranging from construction of older sections of the international calibration curve, dating of the Mid-Upper Palaeolithic transition and deciphering the chronology of Ancient Egypt and the Near East. The Unit is part of the Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art, which was established in 1955 and has been at the forefront of research into the application of scientific methods to the archaeological record. For more information please visit: https://c14.arch.ox.ac.uk The Social Sciences Division The School of Archaeology is a department in the Social Sciences Division, one of four academic divisions in the University, each with considerable devolved budgetary and financial authority; and responsibility for providing a broad strategic focus across its constituent disciplines. Thirteen departments, one faculty, and two cross-divisional research units come under the aegis of the division, which spans the full range of social science disciplines with links into the humanities and physical sciences.

We aim to lead the world in research and education for the benefit of society both in the UK and globally. Oxford’s researchers engage with academic, commercial and cultural partners across the world to stimulate high-quality research and enable innovation through a broad range of social, policy and economic impacts. We believe our strengths lie both in empowering individuals and teams to address fundamental questions of global significance, while providing all our staff with a welcoming and inclusive workplace that enables everyone to develop and do their best work. Recognising that diversity is our strength, vital for innovation and creativity, we aspire to build a truly diverse community which values and respects every individual’s unique contribution. While we have long traditions of scholarship, we are also forward-looking, creative and cutting-edge. Oxford is one of Europe's most entrepreneurial universities and we rank first in the UK for university spin-outs, and in recent years we have spun out 15-20 new companies every year. We are also recognised as leaders in support for social enterprise. Join us and you will find a unique, democratic and international community, a great range of staff benefits and access to a vibrant array of cultural activities in the beautiful city of Oxford. For more information, please visit www.ox.ac.uk/about/organisation. The Department of Biology You will be joining us at an exciting time: just as the Departments of Zoology and Plant Sciences have merged to form a new Department of Biology, and two to three years before we move into a major new building dedicated to the science of life and mind. The Departments of Plant Sciences and Zoology are recognised internationally for our research in a wide range of fields spanning all levels from molecules to ecosystems, and tackling fundamental problems in evolutionary ecology, disease biology, evolutionary mechanisms, conservation biology, biodiversity, evolutionary developmental biology, plant biology and animal behaviour. Over time, the research interests of the department have diversified so that much of the research focusses on bacteria, viruses, animal-plant interactions and global biodiversity as well as more traditional models. Research is conducted in all spheres from laboratory and in silico analysis to theoretical and fieldbased research; at all times we seek to reinforce the connections between research and graduate and undergraduate education. The Departments jointly teach the four-year undergraduate degree course in Biology, with fourth-year students doing a Masters-level research project. External research income to the Departments is derived from over 50 different funding agencies, with the principal current funders being the European Research Council, the Royal Society, the Wellcome Trust, BBSRC and NERC. The Departments have a significant track record in enabling the broader societal impact of research, including the provision of policy to government at the highest level, as well as supporting the commercialisation of research through spin-out companies and licensing arrangements that have generated hundreds of millions of pounds’ worth of innovation. 6 The main Departments are located in the University’s Science Area, and will move into a new £200m building in 2024 that will include extensive laboratory provision with controlled environment rooms, glasshouses and an imaging suite. We will share this building with the Department of Experimental Psychology, opening new avenues for collaboration and exploration of the life and mind sciences. The Departments also have extensive facilities the John Krebs Field Station at Wytham (with Wytham Woods nearby). For more information please visit: www.biology.ox.ac.uk The Ineos Oxford Institute The Ineos Oxford Institute (IOI) was created following a gift of £100 million pounds from INEOS to the University of Oxford. The Institute will rapidly advance research, education and collaboration in search of solutions to the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The IOI will become a centre of world-class scientific talent, working collaboratively with a growing number of bodies focusing on AMR and infection prevention control across the world. It will seek to stimulate innovation and collaboration within academia and with industry and government. Ultimately, it aims to become the world’s leading institution for the discovery of novel antibiotics and new approaches to combatting antimicrobial resistance. Scientists at the IOI apply state of the art medicinal chemistry and microbiology approaches to antibacterial drug discovery to enable and promote the development of breakthrough new treatments for human bacterial infections. Our science-focused approach is interdisciplinary and highly collaborative, both within Oxford and internationally. We also undertake international collaborative studies with global surveillance and assessment programmes to understand the impact of antibiotic resistance on low-middle income country health and agricultural structures. We aim to develop important actionable estimates of the AMR burden that will impact global and regional policy decisions. Addressing antimicrobial resistance requires a global effort. It will be critical to develop the pipeline of talent to undertake research and pursue scientific discovery in the field in the years to come. The IOI are committed to training a cohort of scientists in the fields of antimicrobial resistance and drug discovery. This will include on-going training of laboratory scientists, and a range of opportunities including a PhD initiative, short courses and seminar series. The Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences Division The Mathematical, Physical, and Life Sciences (MPLS) Division is one of the four academic divisions of the University. Oxford is widely recognised as one of the world's leading science universities. . The disciplines within the MPLS Division regularly appear at the highest levels in world rankings and have been evaluated as conducting world-leading and internationally excellent research in UK research assessments, and Mathematical, physical and life sciences research at Oxford is the best in the country according to the 2014 Research Excellence Framework (REF) assessment exercise carried out by HEFCE. 7 The MPLS Division is home to the non-medical sciences at Oxford and its 10 departments and 3 interdisciplinary units span the full spectrum of the mathematical, computational, physical, engineering and life sciences, and undertake both fundamental research and cutting-edge applied work. Our research tackles major societal and technological challenges – whether developing new energy solutions or improved cancer treatments, understanding climate change processes, or helping to preserve biodiversity, and is increasingly focused on key interdisciplinary issues. We collaborate closely with colleagues in Oxford across the medical sciences, social sciences and humanities, and with other universities, research organisations and industrial partners across the globe in pursuit of innovative research geared to address critical and fundamental scientific questions. MPLS is proud to be the home of some of the most creative and innovative scientific thinkers and leaders working in academe. Our senior researchers have been awarded some of the most significant scientific honours (including Nobel prizes and prestigious titles such as FRS and FREng) and we have a strong tradition of attracting and nurturing the very best early career researchers who regularly secure prestigious fellowships. The Division is also the proud holder of ten Athena Swan Awards (5 Silver and 5 Bronze) illustrating our commitment to ensure good practice and to encourage women in science at all levels in the division. We have around 6,000 full and part-time students (including approximately 1900 graduate students) and play a major role in training the next generation of leading scientists. Oxford's international reputation for excellence in teaching is reflected in its position at the top of the major league tables and subject assessments. MPLS academics educate students of high academic merit and potential from all over the world. Through a mixture of lectures, practical work and the distinctive college tutorial system, students develop their ability to solve major mathematical, scientific and engineering problems. MPLS is dedicated to bringing the wonder and potential of science to the attention of audiences far beyond the world of academia. We have a strong commitment to supporting public engagement in science through initiatives including the Oxford Sparks portal (www.oxfordsparks.net) and a large variety of outreach activities; these are crucial activities given so many societal and technological issues demand an understanding of the science that underpins them. We also endeavour to bring the potential of our scientific efforts forward for practical and beneficial application to the real world and our desire is to link our best scientific minds with industry and public policy makers.

The researcher will be involved in developing a treatment and an appropriate delivery strategy to target a metabolic vulnerability in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). The aggressiveness and treatment-resistance in PDAC necessitates powerful interventions, but these carry the risk of damaging normal cells. The high metabolic rate required by PDAC for growth could be inhibited by drugs, but cancer cells may survive periods of quiescence, recover when treatment stops, or acquire resistance. Another approach is to inactivate genes that are essential for survival, but the right choice of target depends on knowing the adversities that cancer cell must overcome. The clue is in appreciating the tissue from which PDAC develops. Pancreatic ducts secrete large quantities of bicarbonate to neutralize stomach acids. Expunging bicarbonate (an alkali) from the fluid surrounding pancreatic cells makes their environment acidic, which is not something most cells experience. PDAC cells can out-compete their neighbours by becoming acid-resistant. Since cancer metabolism produces acid, this trait is beneficial when PDAC develops into a solid tumour and metastasises. These adaptations present druggable vulnerabilities. In a recent article in Nature Reviews Cancer, we explain how acidity should be exploited in treatments. Acidresistance is somewhat analogous to drug resistance, the difference being that cells produce acid themselves. This sets up a vicious cycle, wherein acid-resistant cells produce more acid to amplify their survival advantage. Eliminating this feature would derail cancer progression, but only few attempts have been made. Therapies that neutralize tumour acidity have been trialled, but rather than inactivating the acid-adaptive process, they delay it. New ideas are needed, which is why we are applying to the PCUK research innovation fund. 2 Our proposed strategy is (1) to target acid-resistant cells and (2) inactivate a critical survival mechanism. This strategy is supported by mathematical modelling predictions and builds on our discoveries. We found that cells can only survive acidity if they can respire with oxygen. To do this, they need a gene called NDUFS1. Cancer cells also need a pathway called fermentation which produces lactic acid, but this is normally blocked in acidic conditions. Acid-adapted cells overcome this by degrading an acid-entry pathway into cells called SLC4A2. We also found that acid-adapted cells can be distinguished by a protein at their surface called CEACAM5. This provides a way of delivering therapies. But how will we inactivate NDUFS1 selectively in acid-resistant PDAC cells? We propose an innovative approach that uses a decades-old method called triplex-forming oligonucleotides (TFOs). These molecules can be engineered to inactivate NDUFS1 only in cells that are acidic inside. We will make cells acidic by blocking the pathway for removing lactic acid using drugs called monocarboxylate transport inhibitors (MCTi). To combine this, we will package MCTi and TFOs into particle called cubosomes which will be covered with antibodies that bind to CEACAM5. Our approach combines potency because TFOs kill cells by inactivating a “survival” gene, with high selectivity, in that acid-resistant PDAC cells meet the criteria for targeting. Compared to treatments, such as gemcitabine, 5-FU or other FOLFIRINOX components, our approach has a clear strategy to target the most aggressive cells. As a result, it may be possible to increase toxicity towards PDAC cells, without causing intolerable side-effects. Our team includes expertise in cubosome technology and is supported by a network of PDAC collaborators through two EU+UK-wide consortia. The project benefits from the wealth of information we have on PDAC lines, spanning a range of properties with respect to acidity. This proof-of-concept project will: 1. Refine ways of targeting MCTi and TFO-loaded cubosomes to CEACAM5-expressing PDAC cells using a panel of cell lines we have extensively characterised; 2. Generate TFOs that repress genes, including NDUFS1, in the acidic range only and benchmark performance against other gene inactivation methods that are not activated by cellular acidity; 3. Test the product for selective killing of the most acid-resistant cells under “petri dish” conditions.

Fixed-term for 13 months/Full-time

 

The researcher will join a collaborative effort between DPAG and WRH, funded by an award from the Research Innovation Fund of Pancreatic Cancer UK.

 

To expand, pancreatic cancer cells must first adapt to the acidic conditions in tumours by implementing adaptations involving ‘survival genes’, which also represent vulnerabilities for new therapies to target. We propose to derail cancer progression using DNA-binding molecules, called triplex-forming oligonucleotides (TFOs), that inactivate these survival genes in the most metabolically active and acid-resistant cells responsible for driving aggressive disease.

 

The successful applicant will lead on pioneering research efforts to bring the latest therapeutic cargo delivery and TFO technology to eliminate pancreatic cancer cells. Work at this innovation stage is entirely in vitro. The project, funded by PCUK’s Research Innovation Fund, is a first step towards delivering precision medicine to target a metabolic vulnerability in cancer.

 

The successful applicant will have experience in working with nucleic acids, in delivering constructs to cells, and in performing assays; demonstrable skills in cell culture are essential; experience in developing therapy is desirable, although training will be provided, if necessary. Applicants must hold, or be close to completion of, a PhD/DPhil in a relevant field, such as biochemistry, molecular biology, oncology, or chemistry

 

The fixed term post is available from 01 July 2024. The post will be based in The Department of Physiology Anatomy & Genetics, Sherrington Building, Sherrington Rd, Oxford OX1 3PT

 

Informal enquiries may be directed to the DPAG HR Team – hr@dpag.ox.ac.uk

Integrating evidence and innovation, our main research focus is on enhancing prevention, early diagnosis and management of common illness. Our research is led by internationally renowned scientists, many of whom are practising GPs and primary care clinicians, but many others are psychologists, epidemiologists, sociologists, and public health academics. We cover the broad range of issues that you might expect to address in the community, including cardiovascular and metabolic disease, infectious diseases and childhood illness, diet, smoking and cancer. We also focus on understanding and improving the experiences of patients, rigorously evaluating the effectiveness of treatments and diagnostics, utilising big data, developing digital health interventions and working internationally. We have methodological expertise in novel clinical trial design and implementation, clinical decision making and diagnostics, clinical epidemiology, medical statistics, behavioural science, modelling, qualitative research and the wider application of social science theory and methods to address practical and theoretical challenges in health and care settings. The department was established in October 1998 (as the Department of Primary Health Care) with the appointment of a foundation chair in general practice, and was made a free-standing department in 2011 with the first Oxford statutory chair in primary care. We provide a strong multi-disciplinary training environment, a full programme of academic support and good IT facilities. Our ability to collaborate with other epidemiological and community based research groups across the University and with GP surgeries locally and nationally enables us to utilise a broad range of relevant expertise into our teaching and research. Our main research themes coalesce around cardiovascular disease and diabetes, infection, cancer, health behaviours, and digital health, with several cross-cutting themes, including disease prevention, early diagnosis, and patient self-management, big data and new clinical themes. We place inclusivity and diversity at the forefront of our approach to research from design and conduct through to the dissemination of our findings. The department has exceptional infrastructure, including the long-established Primary Care Clinical Trials Unit, one of the most expert CTU’s for trials conducted in community settings. We also host the Oxford Institute for Digital Health, the Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science, the Oxford Centre for EvidenceBased Medicine; the Interdisciplinary Research in Health Sciences research group (which uses both quantitative and qualitative methods to examine the human, organisational and societal issues relating to the delivery of healthcare and the improvement of health services) and the Medical Sociology and Health Experiences Research Group (MS HERG), which undertakes qualitative research into the patient experience including the Healthtalk research programme published on www.healthtalkonline.org. The department is a founding member of the National Institute for Health Care Research (NIHR) School of Primary Care Research, houses both the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration (ARC), Oxford Thames Valley and the NIHR MedTech and In Vitro Diagnostics Co-operative (MIC), and leads several themes of the Oxford University Hospital and Oxford Health BRCs. In terms of methodologies, as well as our critical mass of social scientists and computer/information scientists, the department supports one of the largest groups of medical statisticians in medical sciences and a growing team of health economists. 5 Clinicians in our department teach a number of threads in the undergraduate course in Medicine and we place students in GP practices as part of their training. We run a very successful, well established MSc programme in Evidence Based Health Care, and a new MSc in Translational Health Science with the Department of Continuing Education. In 2023 we will accept students to a new MSc in Applied Digital Health and to an MSc in Global Health Care Leadership run in partnership with the Said Business School.

We are the Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science, at the University of Oxford, led by Prof Ben Goldacre. We are seeking software developers to join us in supporting and expanding OpenSAFELY, a revolutionary open source platform for secure clinical research. Conceived at the start of the COVID-19 crisis, this has been used extensively to produce ground-breaking research using an unprecedented corpus of patient data which is not available anywhere else. Our research has been published in high profile journals such as Nature, and won praise from media outlets like The Economist, and patient advocacy groups like medConfidential. Since 2020, the platform has been developed and supported by a small team. We have now secured funding to secure and accelerate the development of OpenSAFELY for the foreseeable future as a core part of national health data infrastructure: the NHS England OpenSAFELY Service. About Us We are a small, productive team of software professionals, academics, and clinicians, all pooling skills and knowledge to build platforms and tools as well as traditional academic papers. Our work is influential: it features in high-profile mainstream media stories, drives the agenda at parliamentary committees, was regularly referenced in SAGE meetings during the pandemic, and is published in a wide range of very high impact journals. We are currently focussing on growing the OpenSAFELY platform, in both health and non-health fields (including data-driven research about education in schools). We have achieved public support for working with sensitive data because OpenSAFELY is an innovative, open source research environment which places patient privacy first. Our platform is productive: it has produced more high-impact academic outputs than any other similar Trusted Research Environment in the country. You can read a summary of press coverage on the OpenSAFELY website. We don’t just produce papers and tools; we advocate for better use of software, including our campaign for all research to share their code. About OpenSAFELY Our vision is to make it easy and enjoyable to do secure, reproducible clinical analytics, and to radically democratise research access to the globally-important datasets hosted within the NHS. We are now looking to improve and expand the platform, expanding high-impact research that processes confidential data for years to come, within and outside the NHS. The framework has a distributed architecture, based on a secure, docker-based execution environment and scheduler implemented using Python, Django, Docker, and SQLite. This component is deployed within the existing, secure infrastructures of the original data processors such as TPP and EMIS. Users develop against dummy data in a local sandbox using our powerful, domain-specific query language, ehrQL (explanatory blog post), and make requests for execution against real data via a public, auditable task queue (code). Authentication and authorisation is currently delegated to our GitHub organisation, where all research code repositories must be stored and tested. We also develop and maintain an innovative clinical coding authoring and validation suite called OpenCodelists. In the future, we plan to develop BZ23159 Junior Developer JD.docx 2 further standalone tools to improve the rigour and reproducibility of clinical research, for example around privacy, and “synthetic” data. The final core element in our roadmap is community development: we aim to create a vibrant open science network around the framework. Following the success of OpenSAFELY in healthcare research, we are now exploring expanding its use to other domains such as education provision. The role We are seeking an early-career software developer with an interest in all parts of software development, especially web applications. The role is suitable for candidates with a primary interest in either frontend or backend development.

BZ23159 Junior Developer JD.docx 4 Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences A top ranked centre for academic primary care in the UK, we lead world-class research and training to rethink the way healthcare is delivered in general practice and other primary care settings, both across the UK and globally. Integrating evidence and innovation, our main research focus is on enhancing prevention, early diagnosis and management of common illness. Our research is led by internationally renowned scientists, many of whom are practising GPs and primary care clinicians, but many others are psychologists, epidemiologists, sociologists, and public health academics. We cover the broad range of issues that you might expect to address in the community, including cardiovascular and metabolic disease, infectious diseases and childhood illness, diet, smoking and cancer. We also focus on understanding and improving the experiences of patients, rigorously evaluating the effectiveness of treatments and diagnostics, utilising big data, developing digital health interventions and working internationally. We have methodological expertise in novel clinical trial design and implementation, clinical decision making and diagnostics, clinical epidemiology, medical statistics, behavioural science, modelling, qualitative research and the wider application of social science theory and methods to address practical and theoretical challenges in health and care settings. The department was established in October 1998 (as the Department of Primary Health Care) with the appointment of a foundation chair in general practice, and was made a free-standing department in 2011 with the first Oxford statutory chair in primary care. We provide a strong multi-disciplinary training environment, a full programme of academic support and good IT facilities. Our ability to collaborate with other epidemiological and community based research groups across the University and with GP surgeries locally and nationally enables us to utilise a broad range of relevant expertise into our teaching and research. Our main research themes coalesce around cardiovascular disease and diabetes, infection, cancer, health behaviours, and digital health, with several cross-cutting themes, including disease prevention, early diagnosis, and patient self-management, big data and new clinical themes. We place inclusivity and diversity at the forefront of our approach to research from design and conduct through to the dissemination of our findings. The department has exceptional infrastructure, including the long-established Primary Care Clinical Trials Unit, one of the most expert CTU’s for trials conducted in community settings. We also host the Oxford Institute for Digital Health, the Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science, the Oxford Centre for EvidenceBased Medicine; the Interdisciplinary Research in Health Sciences research group (which uses both quantitative and qualitative methods to examine the human, organisational and societal issues relating to the delivery of healthcare and the improvement of health services) and the Medical Sociology and Health Experiences Research Group (MS HERG), which undertakes qualitative research into the patient experience including the Healthtalk research programme published on www.healthtalkonline.org. The department is a founding member of the National Institute for Health Care Research (NIHR) School of Primary Care Research, houses both the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration (ARC), Oxford Thames Valley and the NIHR MedTech and In Vitro Diagnostics Co-operative (MIC), and leads several themes of the Oxford University Hospital and Oxford Health BRCs. In terms of methodologies, as well as our critical BZ23159 Junior Developer JD.docx 5 mass of social scientists and computer/information scientists, the department supports one of the largest groups of medical statisticians in medical sciences and a growing team of health economists. Clinicians in our department teach a number of threads in the undergraduate course in Medicine and we place students in GP practices as part of their training. We run a very successful, well established MSc programme in Evidence Based Health Care, and a new MSc in Translational Health Science with the Department of Continuing Education. In 2023 we will accept students to a new MSc in Applied Digital Health and to an MSc in Global Health Care Leadership run in partnership with the Said Business School.

We are the Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science, at the University of Oxford, led by Prof Ben Goldacre. We are seeking software developers to join us in supporting and expanding OpenSAFELY, a revolutionary open source platform for secure clinical research. Conceived at the start of the COVID-19 crisis, this has been used extensively to produce ground-breaking research using an unprecedented corpus of patient data which is not available anywhere else. Our research has been published in high profile journals such as Nature, and won praise from media outlets like The Economist, and patient advocacy groups like medConfidential. Since 2020, the platform has been developed and supported by a small team. We have now secured funding to secure and accelerate the development of OpenSAFELY for the foreseeable future as a core part of national health data infrastructure: the NHS England OpenSAFELY Service. About Us We are a small, productive team of software professionals, academics, and clinicians, all pooling skills and knowledge to build platforms and tools as well as traditional academic papers. Our work is influential: it features in high-profile mainstream media stories, drives the agenda at parliamentary committees, was regularly referenced in SAGE meetings during the pandemic, and is published in a wide range of very high impact journals. We are currently focussing on growing the OpenSAFELY platform, in both health and non-health fields (including data-driven research about education in schools). We have achieved public support for working with sensitive data because OpenSAFELY is an innovative, open source research environment which places patient privacy first. Our platform is productive: it has produced more high-impact academic outputs than any other similar Trusted Research Environment in the country. You can read a summary of press coverage on the OpenSAFELY website. We don’t just produce papers and tools; we advocate for better use of software, including our campaign for all research to share their code. About OpenSAFELY Our vision is to make it easy and enjoyable to do secure, reproducible clinical analytics, and to radically democratise research access to the globally-important datasets hosted within the NHS. We are now looking to improve and expand the platform, expanding high-impact research that processes confidential data for years to come, within and outside the NHS. The framework has a distributed architecture, based on a secure, docker-based execution environment and scheduler implemented using Python, Django, Docker, and SQLite. This component is deployed within the existing, secure infrastructures of the original data processors such as TPP and EMIS. Users develop against dummy data in a local sandbox using our powerful, domain-specific query language, ehrQL (explanatory blog post), and make requests for execution against real data via a public, auditable task queue (code). Authentication and authorisation is currently delegated to our GitHub organisation, where all research code repositories must be stored and tested. We also develop and maintain an innovative clinical coding authoring and validation suite called OpenCodelists. In the future, we plan to develop Job_Description_and_Selection_Criteria_Template_August 2023.doc 2 further standalone tools to improve the rigour and reproducibility of clinical research, for example around privacy, and “synthetic” data. The final core element in our roadmap is community development: we aim to create a vibrant open science network around the framework. Following the success of OpenSAFELY in healthcare research, we are now exploring expanding its use to other domains such as education provision. The role We are seeking an experienced software developer with an interest in web application development or infrastructure engineering. Your role will revolve around designing, implementing and maintaining essential features, data structures and protocols that power the OpenSAFELY platform.

Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences A top ranked centre for academic primary care in the UK, we lead world-class research and training to rethink the way healthcare is delivered in general practice and other primary care settings, both across the UK and globally. Integrating evidence and innovation, our main research focus is on enhancing prevention, early diagnosis and management of common illness. Our research is led by internationally renowned scientists, many of whom are practising GPs and primary care clinicians, but many others are psychologists, epidemiologists, sociologists, and public health academics. We cover the broad range of issues that you might expect to address in the community, including cardiovascular and metabolic disease, infectious diseases and childhood illness, diet, smoking and cancer. We also focus on understanding and improving the experiences of patients, rigorously evaluating the effectiveness of treatments and diagnostics, utilising big data, developing digital health interventions and working internationally. We have methodological expertise in novel clinical trial design and implementation, clinical decision making and diagnostics, clinical epidemiology, medical statistics, behavioural science, modelling, qualitative research and the wider application of social science theory and methods to address practical and theoretical challenges in health and care settings. The department was established in October 1998 (as the Department of Primary Health Care) with the appointment of a foundation chair in general practice, and was made a free-standing department in 2011 with the first Oxford statutory chair in primary care. We provide a strong multi-disciplinary training environment, a full programme of academic support and good IT facilities. Our ability to collaborate with other epidemiological and community based research groups across the University and with GP surgeries locally and nationally enables us to utilise a broad range of relevant expertise into our teaching and research. Job_Description_and_Selection_Criteria_Template_August 2023.doc 5 Our main research themes coalesce around cardiovascular disease and diabetes, infection, cancer, health behaviours, and digital health, with several cross-cutting themes, including disease prevention, early diagnosis, and patient self-management, big data and new clinical themes. We place inclusivity and diversity at the forefront of our approach to research from design and conduct through to the dissemination of our findings. The department has exceptional infrastructure, including the long-established Primary Care Clinical Trials Unit, one of the most expert CTU’s for trials conducted in community settings. We also host the Oxford Institute for Digital Health, the Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science, the Oxford Centre for EvidenceBased Medicine; the Interdisciplinary Research in Health Sciences research group (which uses both quantitative and qualitative methods to examine the human, organisational and societal issues relating to the delivery of healthcare and the improvement of health services) and the Medical Sociology and Health Experiences Research Group (MS HERG), which undertakes qualitative research into the patient experience including the Healthtalk research programme published on www.healthtalkonline.org. The department is a founding member of the National Institute for Health Care Research (NIHR) School of Primary Care Research, houses both the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration (ARC), Oxford Thames Valley and the NIHR MedTech and In Vitro Diagnostics Co-operative (MIC), and leads several themes of the Oxford University Hospital and Oxford Health BRCs. In terms of methodologies, as well as our critical mass of social scientists and computer/information scientists, the department supports one of the largest groups of medical statisticians in medical sciences and a growing team of health economists. Clinicians in our department teach a number of threads in the undergraduate course in Medicine and we place students in GP practices as part of their training. We run a very successful, well established MSc programme in Evidence Based Health Care, and a new MSc in Translational Health Science with the Department of Continuing Education. In 2023 we will accept students to a new MSc in Applied Digital Health and to an MSc in Global Health Care Leadership run in partnership with the Said Business School.

We bring enterprise – public and private - together with world-leading teaching and research to achieve global net-zero emissions and sustainable development. Located within the internationally top-ranked School of Geography and the Environment, we work in close collaboration with leading academics across Oxford and beyond. Decisions made this decade will determine the future of humanity and the planet. To stop the climate crisis, we need to shift global economic and financial systems towards sustainability. The Smith School’s approach combines academic excellence with real-world impact. Our research shapes business and government policy and practice. We offer innovative evidence-based solutions to the environmental challenges facing humanity. We apply expertise in economics, finance, business and law to tackle environmental and social challenges in six areas: water, climate, energy, biodiversity, food and the regenerative economy. We equip the next generation through undergraduate and graduate teaching as part of the top-ranked School of Geography and the Environment. SSEE’s new master’s course in Sustainability, Enterprise and the Environment (MSc SEE) is already one of the most applied to at Oxford. Our executive education programmes empower business leaders and policymakers throughout the world to take action. SSEE’s Advisory Board, Business Fellows and our wide-ranging external partnerships bring together experts from industry, consultancy, governments and NGOs to achieve the vision of a cleaner, fairer and more prosperous future. School of Geography and the Environment The School of Geography and the Environment (SoGE) is a dynamic, diverse, interdisciplinary department at the University of Oxford combining natural and social science research interests and analytical skills, underpinned by geography’s tradition of working in many different situations and contexts. The School is internationally recognized for the quality of its teaching, research and wider engagement across the breadth of human geography, physical geography and environmental studies. Based within the Social Sciences Division, the School incorporates three affiliated research centres as well as Geography: the Environmental Change Institute (ECI), the Smith School of Enterprise and Environment (SSEE), and the Transport Studies Unit (TSU). The School is based partly within the Oxford University Centre for the Environment (OUCE) building and partly in the Dyson Perrins building, which was completely refurbished in 2022. The School’s physical location enables us to easily connect with many academic departments and organisations across the University, and we collaborate with many of them. For example, the School is an active participant in fostering the Oxford University Networks for the Environment (ONE), which links up over 1000 individuals within the University around the themes of Biodiversity, Climate, Energy, Food and Water. Our research spans issues related to the environment, climate change, energy, transport, development, geopolitics and cities. The School’s research portfolio totalled approximately £105million across more than 170 research projects in 2021/22, from a wide variety of funders. 6 Much of this work is collaborative, and we currently estimate that research with our partners takes place in over 70 countries across the globe. We aim to contribute to the common good, and many of our researchers actively engage in advising local, national and international organisations; in giving written and oral contributions to government consultations both locally and nationally; and in engaging with others through policy, partnerships, business and social enterprise. The School also provides world-class, multidisciplinary teaching. Our Undergraduate Honour School gives undergraduate students research-led teaching across the breadth of human and physical geography and environmental studies by internationally recognised academic staff.

Department of Education The Department of Education is a research-led Department, carrying out research which is of relevance not only to academics in the field of Education and related disciplines, but also to teachers, teacher educators, other education professionals, and policy makers. Its policy of developing both depth and breadth of research expertise remains central to successfully maintaining and enhancing our position as an internationally recognised centre of outstanding research. The 2021 Research Excellence Framework evaluation placed the department as the leader for education research in the United Kingdom. We have a world class reputation for research, as illustrated by our publication and funding portfolio, indicators of international and national academic leadership, research prizes, and commitment to mobilising research for the improvement of policy and practice and the benefit of children, parents, and communities. The department has a highly fertile research environment, with around 100 books published since 2010 and over 150 research seminars convened each academic year. All full-time members of academic staff are active researchers. We have approximately 70 full-time and part-time teaching and research staff, 30 full-time and part-time administrative and professional staff, and around 525 students, of whom 182 were studying part-time. Research in the Department is organised around three broad Themes: (i) Language, Cognition and Development; (ii) Policy, Economy and Society; (iii) Knowledge, Learning and Pedagogy. Each Theme consists of a cluster of Research Groups and affiliated Centres. All academic and research staff are attached to one or more research groups and research students are active in the groups. The research groups provide a forum for discussion of research ideas and articles in progress, to obtain critical commentary on current projects, and to plan new studies with colleagues. The externally-funded research centres are formally established units, organised around a coherent research plan and include OUCEA (The Oxford University Centre for Educational Assessment), SKOPE (Research Centre on Skills, Knowledge and Organisational Performance), The Rees Centre for Research in Fostering and Education and EMI (English as a Medium of Instruction). Our doctoral students make an excellent contribution to the research environment; there is an intake of just over 20 students per year. Over the last 15 years, the Department of Education has grown in size and shape. We currently offer the following courses: ▪ MSc in Education with 5 different pathways: Comparative and International Education; Higher Education; Child Development; Digital and Social Change; Research Design and Methodology ▪ MSc in Applied Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition (ALSLA) ▪ MSc in Learning and Teaching (MLT) ▪ MSc in Teacher Education ▪ MSc in Applied Linguistics for Language Teaching (ALLT) ▪ MSc in Educational Assessment ▪ MSc in Medical Education ▪ The Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) ▪ A comprehensive Doctoral (DPhil) programme attracting students from all over the world The PGCE is a one-year teacher training programme for over 190 graduates delivering secondary trained teachers in nine key subject areas (English, Geography, History, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Modern Foreign Languages and Religious Education). It is undertaken in close partnership with local secondary schools. The course has an international reputation for the quality of its work and in the most recent Ofsted inspection it was awarded the highest grade (Outstanding) in all categories for every subject and for management and quality assurance. At Masters Level there are two full-time courses: MSc Applied Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition and MSc Education in total admitting around 80 students each year. There are five part-time courses: the MSc in Learning and Teaching (MLT) is a two-year course which offers a combination of face-to-face teaching and online support for serving teachers; it recruits approximately 80 students each year. The Masters in Applied Linguistics in Language Teaching (ALLT) is a two-year part-time distance-learning course for lecturers teaching English within higher education institutions internationally, and the Masters in Teacher Education (MTEd) is likewise a two-year part-time distance-learning course, aimed at those employed as academics, teachers, and teacher educators worldwide who are involved in teacher education. The MSc Medical Education began in 2021 and is a two-year course which offers a combination of faceto-face teaching and online support for those involved in medical education. The doctoral programme (DPhil) has over 100 registered DPhil students, including 12 part-time, researching in a diverse range of areas. Education is a recognised Pathway in the ESRC Social Sciences Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP). Overall the Department is now one of the three largest centres in the UK for full-time postgraduate study in the field of education. Further information about the Department and its staff, courses and research activities please visit: www.education.ox.ac.uk/ See in particular our Annual Reviews at http://www.education.ox.ac.uk/about-us/departmentreviews/ Social Sciences Division The University’s academic departments and faculties are organised into four large groups, known as Academic Divisions (Social Sciences, Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences (MPLS), Medical Sciences, and Humanities). The academic divisions are responsible for academic oversight of the teaching and research of their constituent departments and faculties, for strategic and operational planning, and for personnel and resource management. The Head of the Social Sciences Division is Professor Tim Power, who is a member of the University’s Council. The Social Sciences Division is a world-leading centre of research and education in the social sciences. The social sciences at Oxford are distinctive for both their depth and breadth, with activity spanning fourteen departments and faculties and one cross-divisional unit. (These are as follows: Law, the Saïd Business School, Economics, Politics and International Relations, the Blavatnik School of Government, the School of Anthropology and Museum Ethnography, International Development, Sociology, Social Policy and Intervention, the Oxford Internet Institute, Archaeology, the School of Interdisciplinary Area Studies, Education, the School of Geography and the Environment and the Oxford Martin School.) Interdisciplinary links within and beyond the university are strong, extending to the humanities, natural sciences, and medical sciences. Academic and research staff and research students are engaged in world-leading research that challenges current ideas and theories and is tackling some of the major challenges facing humanity, such as sustainable resource management, migration, governance, poverty and development, and justice. REF 2021 confirmed Oxford as the UK powerhouse for research, where Oxford accounted for more world-leading (4*) research than any other institution, and more than two-thirds of the research’s impact was also recognised as world leading, across the social sciences units of assessment to which it made submissions. The division has an extensive portfolio of external funders and collaborators, with competitively-awarded external research income exceeding £40million per year. Researchers in the division engage actively beyond academia and their research has influence in many spheres from innovation in public policymaking to practitioner communities such as law, business, education, social welfare and NGOs. The division also delivers an exceptional range of high-quality educational programmes (undergraduate, postgraduate taught and postgraduate research), all of which are underpinned by the innovative research being undertaken by our academics. Programmes range from those at the interface of the natural sciences, through to professionally-oriented provision in areas such as business, law and education. The division is home to several of Oxford’s most widely recognised teaching programmes, such as Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE); the BCL; the MPhils in International Relations, in Economics, and in Development Studies; the MBA and EMBA; and the internationally regarded PGCE.

Teaching The main teaching responsibility of the Department is for pre-clinical Medicine students and those reading Biomedical Sciences. There are also contributions to teaching in Biochemistry, Biological Sciences, Human Sciences, Physics, and a graduate Neuroscience MSc programme. In Oxford, Medicine students take a three-year preclinical course before proceeding to clinical training (a further three years). The first five terms of the three-year pre-clinical course provide broad training in all aspects of medical science (leading to the 1st BM qualification). Both pre-clinical Medicine and Biomedical Sciences students spend the last four terms of their course studying for a BA degree, selecting two Advanced Options from a choice of ten, ranging from systems physiology and neuroscience to cellular and molecular science. Both cohorts also undertake an experimental project, which forms one paper in their final examination; these projects are supervised by members of the academic staff. The Department also contributes some preclinical teaching to the first part of the Graduate entry Medicine course.

Department of Education The Department of Education is a research-led Department, carrying out research which is of relevance not only to academics in the field of Education and related disciplines, but also to teachers, teacher educators, other education professionals, and policy makers. Its policy of developing both depth and breadth of research expertise remains central to successfully maintaining and enhancing our position as an internationally recognised centre of outstanding research. The 2021 Research Excellence Framework evaluation placed the department as the leader for education research in the United Kingdom. We have a world class reputation for research, as illustrated by our publication and funding portfolio, indicators of international and national academic leadership, research prizes, and commitment to mobilising research for the improvement of policy and practice and the benefit of children, parents, and communities. The department has a highly fertile research environment, with around 100 books published since 2010 and over 150 research seminars convened each academic year. All full-time members of academic staff are active researchers. We have approximately 70 full-time and part-time teaching and research staff, 30 full-time and part-time administrative and professional staff, and around 525 students, of whom 182 were studying part-time. Research in the Department is organised around three broad Themes: (i) Language, Cognition and Development; (ii) Policy, Economy and Society; (iii) Knowledge, Learning and Pedagogy. Each Theme consists of a cluster of Research Groups and affiliated Centres. All academic and research staff are attached to one or more research groups and research students are active in the groups. The research groups provide a forum for discussion of research ideas and articles in progress, to obtain critical commentary on current projects, and to plan new studies with colleagues. The externally-funded research centres are formally established units, organised around a coherent research plan and include OUCEA (The Oxford University Centre for Educational Assessment), SKOPE (Research Centre on Skills, Knowledge and Organisational Performance), The Rees Centre for Research in Fostering and Education and EMI (English as a Medium of Instruction). Our doctoral students make an excellent contribution to the research environment; there is an intake of just over 20 students per year. Over the last 15 years, the Department of Education has grown in size and shape. We currently offer the following courses: ▪ MSc in Education with 5 different pathways: Comparative and International Education; Higher Education; Child Development; Digital and Social Change; Research Design and Methodology ▪ MSc in Applied Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition (ALSLA) ▪ MSc in Learning and Teaching (MLT) ▪ MSc in Teacher Education ▪ MSc in Applied Linguistics for Language Teaching (ALLT) ▪ MSc in Educational Assessment ▪ MSc in Medical Education ▪ The Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) ▪ A comprehensive Doctoral (DPhil) programme attracting students from all over the world The PGCE is a one-year teacher training programme for over 190 graduates delivering secondary trained teachers in nine key subject areas (English, Geography, History, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Modern Foreign Languages and Religious Education). It is undertaken in close partnership with local secondary schools. The course has an international reputation for the quality of its work and in the most recent Ofsted inspection it was awarded the highest grade (Outstanding) in all categories for every subject and for management and quality assurance. At Masters Level there are two full-time courses: MSc Applied Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition and MSc Education in total admitting around 80 students each year. There are five part-time courses: the MSc in Learning and Teaching (MLT) is a two-year course which offers a combination of face-to-face teaching and online support for serving teachers; it recruits approximately 80 students each year. The Masters in Applied Linguistics in Language Teaching (ALLT) is a two-year part-time distance-learning course for lecturers teaching English within higher education institutions internationally, and the Masters in Teacher Education (MTEd) is likewise a two-year part-time distance-learning course, aimed at those employed as academics, teachers, and teacher educators worldwide who are involved in teacher education. The MSc Medical Education began in 2021 and is a two-year course which offers a combination of faceto-face teaching and online support for those involved in medical education. The doctoral programme (DPhil) has over 100 registered DPhil students, including 12 part-time, researching in a diverse range of areas. Education is a recognised Pathway in the ESRC Social Sciences Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP). Overall the Department is now one of the three largest centres in the UK for full-time postgraduate study in the field of education. Further information about the Department and its staff, courses and research activities please visit: www.education.ox.ac.uk/ See in particular our Annual Reviews at http://www.education.ox.ac.uk/about-us/departmentreviews/ Social Sciences Division The University’s academic departments and faculties are organised into four large groups, known as Academic Divisions (Social Sciences, Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences (MPLS), Medical Sciences, and Humanities). The academic divisions are responsible for academic oversight of the teaching and research of their constituent departments and faculties, for strategic and operational planning, and for personnel and resource management. The Head of the Social Sciences Division is Professor Tim Power, who is a member of the University’s Council. The Social Sciences Division is a world-leading centre of research and education in the social sciences. The social sciences at Oxford are distinctive for both their depth and breadth, with activity spanning fourteen departments and faculties and one cross-divisional unit. (These are as follows: Law, the Saïd Business School, Economics, Politics and International Relations, the Blavatnik School of Government, the School of Anthropology and Museum Ethnography, International Development, Sociology, Social Policy and Intervention, the Oxford Internet Institute, Archaeology, the School of Interdisciplinary Area Studies, Education, the School of Geography and the Environment and the Oxford Martin School.) Interdisciplinary links within and beyond the university are strong, extending to the humanities, natural sciences, and medical sciences. Academic and research staff and research students are engaged in world-leading research that challenges current ideas and theories and is tackling some of the major challenges facing humanity, such as sustainable resource management, migration, governance, poverty and development, and justice. REF 2021 confirmed Oxford as the UK powerhouse for research, where Oxford accounted for more world-leading (4*) research than any other institution, and more than two-thirds of the research’s impact was also recognised as world leading, across the social sciences units of assessment to which it made submissions. The division has an extensive portfolio of external funders and collaborators, with competitively-awarded external research income exceeding £40million per year. Researchers in the division engage actively beyond academia and their research has influence in many spheres from innovation in public policymaking to practitioner communities such as law, business, education, social welfare and NGOs. The division also delivers an exceptional range of high-quality educational programmes (undergraduate, postgraduate taught and postgraduate research), all of which are underpinned by the innovative research being undertaken by our academics. Programmes range from those at the interface of the natural sciences, through to professionally-oriented provision in areas such as business, law and education. The division is home to several of Oxford’s most widely recognised teaching programmes, such as Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE); the BCL; the MPhils in International Relations, in Economics, and in Development Studies; the MBA and EMBA; and the internationally regarded PGCE.

The appointee will be a leading authority in their field, demonstrating a sustained career of leading research and possessing breadth and depth of specialist knowledge. The post holder will report to the Head of Department. The University of Oxford uses the grade of Associate Professor for most of its senior academic appointments. Associate Professors are eligible for consideration through regular recognition of distinction exercises for award of the title of full professor. This promotion in status is dependent on merit and does not normally occur until some years after reappointment to retirement. In exceptional cases, where the candidate has previously established an academic standing at an appropriate level of distinction, the title of full professor may be awarded at the time of appointment. This is a joint appointment with Reuben College, where the appointee will be elected to a co-terminous Fellowship at Reuben College. As such, the posholder will participate in the governance, intellectual life and interdisciplinary activities of this graduate College, the most recently founded at Oxford, and particularly, but not exclusively, with students and Fellows within its ‘Cellular Life’ theme. In both Department and College the postholder will also support the wider aims of each institution, including contribution to relevant mental wellbeing goals, and the building of an equal, diverse and inclusive culture. The University of Oxford is a member of the Athena SWAN Charter for the advancement of gender equality: representation, progression and success for all. The Department of Experimental Psychology holds a departmental Silver Athena SWAN award in recognition of its efforts to introduce organisational and cultural practices that promote gender equality and create a better working environment for both men and women. All 16 departments within the Medical Sciences Division hold Silver Athena SWAN awards. The University holds an Athena SWAN silver award at institutional level. Contact equality@admin.ox.ac.uk for further information about Athena SWAN at the University of Oxford. If you would like to discuss this post and find out more about joining the academic community at Oxford, please contact the Head of the Department of Experimental Psychology, Professor Matthew Rushworth, via the EA to the Head of the Department (hod.office@psy.ox.ac.uk). Queries regarding the College association can be sent to Professor Mark Coles, Theme Lead for Cellular Life at the College (mark.coles@reuben.ox.ac.uk). All enquiries will be treated in strict confidence and will not form part of the selection decision.

In the 2021 Research Excellence Framework (REF) Exercise the Psychology, Neuroscience and Psychiatry REF submission from Oxford was judged to have many outstanding strengths in the research it produced, its research environment, and in terms of the impact of its research on wider society. Departmental turnover for 20/21 was in excess of £15.5 million. Research in the Department is organised into 5 research groupings roughly equal in size: Behavioural Neuroscience / Cognition and Perception / Developmental Psychology / Social Psychology / Psychological and Brain Health. In 2018 the core of the department relocated to the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter where we now occupy two floors of New Radcliffe House and the Anna Watts Building. The Anna Watts building houses the developmental research centre and BabyLab, and facilities for EEG, TMS, and tDCS, along with multiple laboratories with eye-movement recording equipment. The Oxford Centre for Anxiety Disorders and Trauma (OXCADAT) is located at The Old Rectory, and we also have some research groups located in the Tinsley Building in the Science Area of the city. Experimental Psychology has good access to a wide variety of special populations including: mothers and babies, schools, older participants, acquired and developmental neuropsychological patients, and individuals with psychological problems. In 2024 the department will move to its new home in The Life and Mind Building. This exciting development will provide exceptional research and teaching facilities along with space for public engagement and outreach. There is a dedicated area for mental health research with clinical populations. It also offers renewed commitment to work across disciplinary boundaries to further knowledge across the psychological and biological sciences and to solve major global challenges. Through both the University and colleges, Oxford places a high priority on teaching quality. At the undergraduate level, the Department is the focus for lectures, classes, practicals, and research projects. It is a centre used by the undergraduates from all colleges for the Experimental Psychology (EP), Psychology, Philosophy and Linguistics (PPL), and Biomedical Science (BMS) courses. The Department provides lecture rooms, IT facilities, and laboratories for experimental and project work. The Department also hosts two MSc courses, the MSc in Psychological Research and the MSc in Neuroscience. The Department also hosts the Doctorate in Clinical Psychology course. We have a thriving community of graduate research students and a commitment to supporting early-career researchers. For more information please visit: http://www.psy.ox.ac.uk. The Department of Experimental Psychology is strongly committed to equality and valuing diversity, and we operate a flexible working policy for all staff. The Department holds a departmental Silver Athena Swan award to recognise advancement of gender equality: representation, progression and success for all. The Oxford Centre for Psychological Health and Oxford Institute for Clinical Psychology Training and Research. The Oxford Centre for Psychological Health is comprised of several components, including the Oxford Cognitive Therapy Centre (OCTC), a NHS national specialist psychological treatment clinic, and the Oxford Institute for Clinical Psychology Training and Research (“the Institute”). The Institute is based at the Warneford Hospital in Headington, where it is located in purpose built unit, the Isis Education Centre. The Doctorate in Clinical Psychology is a partnership between the University and the Trust, and is a full Postgraduate Research degree, commissioned by NHS England. The 2023 intake was 52 students, and the numbers are expected to increase to 60 per year. Teaching takes place in a variety of locations due to the 7 expansion of numbers in recent years. There is a staff team of around 30 psychologists and 10 administrative staff; further staffing increases are anticipated as expansion continues. OCTC has a further staff team of internationally recognised CBT specialists, and the specialist clinic overlaps in with the other units in terms of staffing alongside expert therapists of its own. OCTC also runs a range of University courses in CBT based in the University Department of Continuing Education, as well as NHS commissioned courses. Reuben College There are 39 self-governing and independent colleges at Oxford, giving both academic staff and students the benefits of belonging to a small, interdisciplinary community as well as to a large, internationallyrenowned institution. The collegiate system fosters a strong sense of community, bringing together leading academics and students across subjects, and from different cultures and countries. The founding of Reuben College in 2019, supported by a generous benefaction from the Reuben Foundation of £71 million (including £15 million for graduate scholarships), has offered an exciting opportunity to bring together researchers and postgraduate students focused on exploring some of the most important questions of the 21st century. Reuben College provides an environment that stimulates and facilitates interdisciplinary research, while emphasising the qualities of innovation, leadership and entrepreneurship. It supports a community of Fellows and graduates who embrace opportunities to interact with researchers beyond the boundaries of their own disciplines and to engage with colleagues beyond the realm of academia. To promote the ethos and practice of interdisciplinary interaction, there is an initial focus on four research clusters, whose themes have been chosen for their wide reach across the University, their strongly interdisciplinary nature, Oxford’s existing and potential strengths in these areas, and their innovation and entrepreneurship potential. The initial clusters focus on the topics of (a) Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning, (b) Environmental Change, (c) Cellular Life, and (d) Ethics & Values. These clusters have natural synergies, enabling cross-cutting discussions and research collaborations to emerge. Each of the four areas is interpreted as broadly as possible, as the College is keen to attract researchers from all four of the University’s Academic Divisions. The four themes are complemented by a number of strategic stands, notably in Innovation and Entrepreneurship and in Public Engagement in Research. As a new college, we are building a community of people and practice that recognises the importance of equality and diversity in our community and in our intellectual endeavours. All Fellows are expected to subscribe proactively to the college ethos and to commit to developing both its intellectual and outreach activities. The College Fellows together foster a culture of interdisciplinary exchange through regular college events, such as seminars, workshops and reading groups. For more information please visit: www.reuben.ox.ac.uk. The Medical Sciences Division The Medical Sciences Division is an internationally recognized centre of excellence for biomedical and clinical research and teaching. We are the largest academic division in the University of Oxford. World-leading programmes, housed in state-of-the-art facilities, cover the full range of scientific endeavour from the molecule to the population. With our NHS partners we also foster the highest possible standards in patient care. For more information please visit: www.medsci.ox.ac.uk 8 The University of Oxford Oxford’s departments and colleges aim to lead the world in research and education for the benefit of society both in the UK and globally. Oxford’s researchers engage with academic, commercial and cultural partners across the world to stimulate high-quality research and enable innovation through a broad range of social, policy and economic impacts. Oxford’s self-governing community of international scholars includes Professors, Associate Professors, other college tutors, senior and junior research fellows and over 2,500 other University research staff. Research at Oxford combines disciplinary depth with an increasing focus on inter-disciplinary and multidisciplinary activities addressing a rich and diverse range of issues. We believe our strengths lie both in empowering individuals and teams to address fundamental questions of global significance, while providing all our staff with a welcoming and inclusive workplace that enables everyone to develop and do their best work. Recognising that diversity is a great strength, and vital for innovation and creativity, we aspire to build a truly diverse community which values and respects every individual’s unique contribution. While Oxford has long traditions of scholarship, it is also forward-looking, creative and cutting-edge. Oxford is one of Europe's most entrepreneurial universities. It consistently has the highest external research income of any university in the UK (the most recent figures are available at www.ox.ac.uk/about/organisation/finance-and-funding) and is ranked first in the UK for university spinouts, with more than 130 spin-off companies created to date. Oxford is also recognised as a leading supporter of social enterprise. Oxford admits undergraduate students with the intellectual potential to benefit fully from the small group learning to which Oxford is deeply committed. Meeting in small groups with their tutor, undergraduates are exposed to rigorous scholarly challenge and learn to develop their critical thinking, their ability to articulate their views with clarity, and their personal and intellectual confidence. They receive a high level of personal attention from leading academics. Oxford has a strong postgraduate student body which now numbers over 10,000. Postgraduates are attracted to Oxford by the international standing of the faculty, by the rigorous intellectual training on offer, by the excellent research and laboratory facilities available, and by the resources of the museums and libraries, including one of the world’s greatest libraries, the Bodleian. Join us and you will find a unique, democratic and international community, a great range of staff benefits and access to a vibrant array of cultural activities in the beautiful city of Oxford.

Reuben College Benefits, Terms and Conditions The postholder will be elected to a coterminous Fellowship by Special Election at the College, with probationary period and renewal assessed in tandem with the associated University post. However, a Fellowship at the College does not itself constitute employment and does not confer any rights to employment with the University. Fellows are required to inform the President and Senior Tutor of the College if they are given notice under their University contract of employment: any Fellowship will expire automatically on the same dates as the expiry of a contract of employment with the University. The postholder will receive the following College benefits:     An annual allowance (of currently £3,000 p.a.). This can currently be paid either directly (for nonTier 2 postholders only) and thus will be taxable, or as a research allowance (to support, for example, conferences, events, or research costs). Subsidised dining and luncheon rights (in accordance with the facilities available at the time). The right to bring guests to college meals, subject to capacity, and at their own costs. Membership of the Common Room. Benefits will continue as normal during any period of family leave, or sickness absence but will be suspended for the period of any research or other leave (excepting the above) during which the postholder elects not to fulfil their college duties. All decisions in these regards will be taken by the President in consultation with the Senior Tutor, with a view to promoting fairness and consistency of treatment amongst the Fellows. As a Fellow by Special Election, the postholder will be a member of the College’s Governing Body and is required to hold the Fellowship under the terms of the College Statutes and By-laws in force. All Fellows are thus bound by the relevant policies and procedures of the College as published on the College’s website and in internal directories and the College has the right to terminate any Fellowship with immediate effect if these are not adhered to. Fellows may not hold a Governing Body Fellowship at any other college concurrently with their Fellowship at the College. However, since the College is at present a Society of the University, it does not hold charitable status in its own right, and so Reuben College Fellows are not charitable trustees of the College. Offer of employment Applications for this post will be considered by a selection committee containing representatives from the Department of Experimental Psychology, the Medical Sciences Division, and Reuben College. The selection committee is responsible for conducting all aspects of the recruitment and selection process; it does not, however, have the authority to make the final decision as to who should be appointed. The final decision will be made by the Medical Sciences Divisional Board and the Governing Body of the College on the basis of a recommendation made by the selection committee. No offer of appointment will be valid, therefore, until and unless the recommendation has been approved by both the Divisional Board and the Governing Body, and a formal contractual offer has been made. 12 """^^ .

Apprenticeship Talent Pool - Register for September 2024 jobs now!

We have an exciting opportunity for you to join the University of Oxford’s Apprentice Talent Pool for September 2024. Becoming an apprentice at the University of Oxford is an excellent opportunity to gain practical experience and training. For more information, please visit: https://apprenticeships.web.ox.ac.uk/talent-pool-2024-apply-now

 

IMPORTANT: You must be registered with the Talent Pool before the deadline on Monday 20 May 2024 to access the individual job roles on offer.

 

We offer a vast range of apprenticeship programmes, from Business Administration, Human Resources and Finance, to Laboratory Technicians, Engineering, Horticulture, Arboriculture and Facilities Services. The full list can be found at the link above. 

 

By applying to our talent pool your eligibility to undertake an apprenticeship will be checked by the University Apprenticeship team and candidates meeting our initial criteria will be contacted by the relevant training provider to discuss your skills and experience in further detail, what apprenticeship programmes you are most interested in and to answer any questions that you have. You will then be sent job descriptions for relevant apprenticeships across the University to consider. If you would like to be put forward for the opportunity, you will be asked to confirm and send a short expression of interest statement outlining how you meet the selection criteria for this role. Your application will then be shared with the recruiting department for shortlisting.

 

This recruitment will run until 12 noon 20 May 2024, however, please continue to look at our website as further opportunities may also become available in the future.

 

About you

You will be passionate about starting a career in your chosen apprenticeship programme and excited about the opportunity of becoming an apprentice at the University of Oxford. You may be starting your career or you may be looking for a career change.

 

To complete the apprenticeship, you will need to evidence passes at 9-4 or A*-C in GCSE (or equivalent) Maths and English. Some apprenticeships may also have industry specific qualifications. For those sitting their GSCEs in Summer 2024, we would need evidence of your predicted grades.

 

For all applicants regardless of prior qualification, the training provider will ask you to complete an initial assessment during the application process. There are also government residency requirements for Apprenticeship funding (e.g. all applicants must already have right to work in the UK) which we will be able to advise on.

 

To be an apprentice you will also need to have a lot to learn in your chosen programme area, so if you already have significant experience or a related qualification, you are unlikely to be eligible for that apprenticeship.

 

What we offer

Our apprentices are never on their own, you will benefit from a supportive environment working in collaboration with the rest of our committed team. You will also be supported by the central apprenticeship team and you will join our growing network of apprentices within the university. You will have the opportunity to become an apprenticeship ambassador for the University and region.

 

We will provide you with a welcoming and inclusive workplace, offering support and development opportunities that will enable you to progress and do your best work. We recognise diversity as our strength, vital for innovation and creativity, and we aspire to build a truly diverse community, which values and respects every individual’s unique contribution.

Over 80% of our apprentices continue with us in the role they have been trained for after their Apprenticeship and that is just the start of their career.

 

You will receive 38 days’ annual leave inclusive of Bank Holiday and fixed closure dates, discounted travel, an excellent contributory pension scheme, and student discount. You will also be part of the University’s annual apprenticeship awards.

If you have any questions, please get in touch with us on apprenticeships@admin.ox.ac.uk.

 

Please note, by applying for an apprenticeship with the University of Oxford, you are giving permission for the application to be shared with the relevant training provider for the programme.

 

When applying please attach your Curriculum Vitae including two references.

We are looking to appoint a postdoctoral research assistant to work on a project funded by a UKRI Medical Research Council Core Platform grant for the Platform “CHECKPOINT: Finding immune and metabolic pathways to severe mental illness”.  The project aims to find causal pathways by which immune and metabolic factors lead to severe mental illness, as a basis for new, personalised therapeutics that are precisely matched to the patients most likely to benefit.   The post is based in the Big Data Institute, University of Oxford.

 

The post is for a fixed term (funded for 4 years) and is full-time although consideration would be given to candidates wishing to work part-time (minimum 60% FTE) on a pro rata basis with appropriate adjustment of duties.

 

Reporting to Professor Naomi Wray, you will work closely with the wider CHECKPOINT team to conduct research that addresses the goals of the CHECKPOINT programme. You will collate, integrate and analyse omics data sets that could address the hypothesis that immune and metabolism dysfunction is causal for severe mental illness in some people.  In particular, the CMAP and L1000 data sets will be interrogated to identify drugs that are relevant to SMI and immune/metabolic pathways. You will also have the freedom to determine your own research approaches within this broad framework.

 

You will have or be close to the completion of a PhD in statistical/computational genomics with relevant experience.  You will have excellent communication skills, including the ability to independently write for publication, present research proposals and results, and represent the research network at meetings.   Specialist knowledge in the discipline and the ability to manage your own academic research is essential.  Knowledge of or an interest in psychiatric genomics or the biology of immune and metabolic pathways would be desirable.

 

You will be required to upload a covering letter/supporting statement and a CV as part of your application.

 

The closing date for this post is 12.00 midday on 10 May 2024.
