We cover\nthe broad range of issues that you might expect to address in the community, including cardiovascular and metabolic\ndisease, infectious diseases and childhood illness, diet, smoking and cancer. We also focus on understanding and\nimproving the experiences of patients, rigorously evaluating the effectiveness of treatments and diagnostics,\nutilising big data, developing digital health interventions and working internationally.

We place inclusivity and diversity at the forefront of our\napproach to research from design and conduct through to the dissemination of our findings.\nThe department has exceptional infrastructure, including the long-established Primary Care Clinical Trials Unit, one\nof the most expert CTU’s for trials conducted in community settings. We also host the Oxford Institute for Digital\nHealth, the Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science, the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine; the\nInterdisciplinary Research in Health Sciences research group (which uses both quantitative and qualitative methods\nto examine the human, organisational and societal issues relating to the delivery of healthcare and the improvement\nof health services) and the Medical Sociology and Health Experiences Research Group (MS HERG), which undertakes\nqualitative research into the patient experience including the Healthtalk research programme published on\nwww.healthtalkonline.org.

Research is loosely structured around seven\ninterconnected research groups: Statistical Theory and Methodology; Computational Statistics and\nMachine Learning; the Oxford Protein Informatics Group; Probability; Statistical Genetics and\nEpidemiology; Economics and Population Statistics; and Computational Biology and Bioinformatics. The\nDepartment has recently undergone a period of rapid expansion, growing from 21 submitted\nresearchers in the 2014 Research Excellence Framework exercise to 32 in REF 2021.\nThe Department relocated to a newly renovated building on St Giles’ in the heart of the University of\nOxford in 2015. The building provides state-of-the-art teaching facilities and modern space to facilitate\ncollaboration and integration, creating a highly visible centre for Statistics in Oxford. Since moving to St\nGiles’, Faculty have secured over £14m in research funding from a variety of funders including UKRI, the\nWellcome Trust, the European Commission, NIH, and industrial partners from sectors ranging from\nservices to pharma. Research from the Department of Statistics and the Mathematical Institute in\nOxford was submitted together for the UK’s most recent national research assessment exercise, the\nResearch Excellence Framework (REF) 2021. Overall, 78% of our submission was judged to be 4* (the\nhighest score available, for research quality that is world-leading in terms of originality, significance, and\nrigour). This outstanding result is a testament to the breadth, quality and impact of the research\nproduced by colleagues in our two departments, and the outstanding environment in which they work,\nsupported by our excellent professional services staff.\n\n_________________________________________________________________________\nThe Department’s research excellence has been recognised both collectively, through success in REF\n2021, and individually. Awards include Fellowships of the Royal Society to Christl Donnelly and Alison\nEtheridge; FMedSci and the Zoological Society of London’s Frink Award to Christl Donnelly; the Royal\nStatistical Society Guy Medal in Bronze to Chris Holmes, and the Guy Medal in Silver to Arnaud Doucet;\nthe Weldon Memorial Prize, the Francis Crick Prize Lecture, and the Genetics Society Balfour Prize to\nSimon Myers. Arnaud Doucet, Alison Etheridge, Christina Goldschmidt, Gesine Reinert and Judith\nRousseau are all Fellows of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics, and Alison Etheridge is a former\nPresident. Christl Donnelly is the Vice President for External Affairs of the Royal Statistical Society.\nThe Department is home to Oxford University Statistical Consulting, which provides comprehensive\nstatistical consultancy services to both internal departments and external businesses. It operates across\na wide range of sectors, and offers experience in all aspects of data-based research. The service includes\ntwo Research Software Engineers who take new and existing software platforms from the Oxford\nProtein Informatics Group, and provide support to industry to maximise their impact.\nThe Department of Statistics offers an undergraduate degree (BA or MMath) in Mathematics and\nStatistics and an MSc in Mathematical Science (OMMS), both joint with the Mathematical Institute, and\nan MSc in Statistical Science, as well as a lively and stimulating environment for postgraduate\nresearchers (DPhil or MSc by Research). The Department is involved in four Centres for Doctoral\nTraining (CDTs): the EPSRC CDT in Modern Statistics and Statistical Machine Learning (led by Imperial),\nthe EPSRC CDT in Sustainable Approaches to Biomedical Science: Responsible and Reproducible\nResearch, the EPSRC CDT in Mathematics of Random Systems (with the Mathematical Institute and\nImperial), and the EPSRC CDT in Health Data Science (with the Big Data Institute). The Department is\nalso part of the National Academy for PhD Training in Statistics, which provides training in fundamental\nareas of Statistics and Applied Probability. Our graduate students go on to varied careers, the most\npopular being academia (45%) and the technology (nearly 30%) and finance sectors.\nThe Department maintains close links with interdisciplinary centres such as the Wellcome Centre for\nHuman Genetics and the Big Data Institute. Many Faculty have associations with the Alan Turing\nInstitute (the Turing), the UK’s national centre for data science, in which Oxford is a founding partner,\nand Chris Holmes is Programme Director for Health and Medical Sciences at the Turing.\nThe Department of Statistics holds a silver Athena Swan award to recognise advancement of gender\nequality: representation, progression and success for all.\nFor more information please visit: www.stats.ox.ac.uk.\n\nThe Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences Division\nThe Mathematical, Physical, and Life Sciences (MPLS) Division is one of the four academic divisions of\nthe University.

Oxford is one of few\nplaces in the world where these three aspects of archaeology exist within the same School, something\nthat we see as a key strength and distinguishing feature. Research in the School concentrates on the last\n10,000 years; we seek, however, to set these developments against a longer-term record of\nenvironmental, biological and climatic change. In the study of historic periods -- the Bronze and Iron Age\nAegean, classical Greece and Rome, the Byzantine world and early Medieval Europe -- research focuses\non combining archaeological and written evidence, as well as on the study of material culture, using\napproaches which range from the scientific analysis of pottery, glass and metal, to those which relate\nmore closely to art history and anthropology. Recently, the School secured funding from the Wellcome\nTrust Institutional Strategic Support Fund and the University of Oxford to re-equip the Henry Wellcome\nAncient Biomolecules Centre.\nThe School is based across several buildings in the centre of Oxford, including the Institute of Archaeology\nin Beaumont Street, 1-2 South Parks Road and the Dyson Perrins building in the Science area.\nFurther information about the School of Archaeology, its component units, its staff, courses and research\nactivities can be found on its website at www.arch.ox.ac.uk.\n\nSocial Sciences Division\nThe University’s academic departments and faculties are organised into four large groups known as\nAcademic Divisions (Social Sciences, Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences (MPLS), Medical Sciences,\nand Humanities). The divisions are responsible for academic strategy and operational planning, oversight\nof the teaching and research of their constituent departments and faculties, and for personnel and\nresource management. The social sciences at Oxford are distinctive for both their depth and breadth,\nwith over 1,100 academic and research staff working across fifteen departments, faculties and schools.\nThe Head of the Social Sciences Division is Professor Timothy Power.\nThe Division is a world-leading centre of research and education in the social sciences. The Times Higher\nEducation (THE) University Rankings returned the University of Oxford to the number one spot in the\nworld for Social Sciences in 2022. We have placed first in three of the last five years (2018, 2019 and\n2022).\nMore than 800 researchers were returned to Main Panel C (Social Sciences) for REF 2021 across a diverse\nrange of subject area ‘units of assessment’ – from geography and business to archaeology and law. Over\n55% of the research submitted from the Division was judged to be world-leading (4*, the highest score\navailable). More than two-thirds (69%) of the research’s impact was also recognised as world-leading (4*).\nResearch from across the Division was also submitted to subject areas across Panels A (Medicine, health\nand life sciences), B (Physical sciences, engineering and mathematics), and D (Arts and Humanities),\nhighlighting the enormous breadth and diversity of research expertise across the Division.\n\n6\n\nOur academic and research staff and students are international thought leaders, generating new\nevidence, insights and policy tools with which to address some of the major global challenges facing\nhumanity, such as sustainable resource management, poverty and forced migration, effective governance\nand justice. Particular research highlights in recent years have included COVID-19 and Climate Change. As\nwell as active interdisciplinary links with researchers in other divisions at Oxford, we engage and\ncollaborate extensively with other universities and a wide range of governmental and non-governmental\npractitioner communities such as law, business, public health and welfare, international development\nand education around the world. The Division has an extensive portfolio of external funders, partners and\nsupporters, with competitively-awarded external research income exceeding £50 million per year and\nphilanthropic income over £25 million a year.\nAs part of our commitment to equality of opportunity, eleven of our departments have achieved Bronze\nawards under the Athena Swan Charter (a UK accreditation scheme recognising organisation’s\ncommitment to equality and diversity, particularly in gender). Our School of Geography and the\nEnvironment holds an Athena Swan Silver award. In February 2023, for the first time, the University as a\nwhole was awarded an institutional Athena Swan Silver award, acknowledging the progress that has been\nmade in addressing a number of gender gaps across the University over the last five years.\nThe Division delivers an exceptional range of high-quality educational programmes all underpinned by\nthe innovative research being undertaken by our academics. The student body is made up of over 2,000\nundergraduate students, nearly 3,000 students studying postgraduate taught programmes and 1,200\npostgraduate research students. The programmes we offer are wide-ranging, often interdisciplinary and\ninclude professionally-oriented provision in areas such as business, law and education. The Division is\nhome to several of Oxford’s most widely recognised teaching programmes, such as Philosophy, Politics\nand Economics (PPE) at undergraduate level; and at the Masters level programmes such as the Bachelor\nin Civil Law (BCL), Environmental Change and Management, International Relations, and Social Data\nScience.\nFor more information, please visit: www.socsci.ox.ac.uk\n\n7\n\nHow to apply\nApplications are made through our online recruitment portal.

Together, we aim to positively\nshape the development of our digital world for the public good.\nThe OII aims to operate at the cutting edge in both quantitative, qualitative and computational\nmethodologies that cut across disciplines and topics. The core of our activity is to develop rigorous\npeer-reviewed research and disseminate the outputs in high-quality journals, while working together\nwith partners and stakeholders to inform and shape policy and practice.\nOur research focuses on areas critical to the public interest and in many cases to advancing fairness in\ntechnology. Our research has already delivered significant impact. Our faculty were among the first to\ndraw the world’s attention to “fake news” and defined the concept of “big data”. They have\nundertaken ground-breaking research into technology and wellbeing using real-time industry data and\npersuaded major global firms to adopt new methods and practices. OII researchers have developed\nthe first global ratings system for firms operating in the gig economy and had a significant role in\ninfluencing the online harms debate in the UK.\n4\n\nOur four teaching programmes graduate around 80 students a year across our two Masters\nprogrammes in addition to around seven doctoral students. Many of our talented alumni go on to\nperform important roles and achieve significant accomplishments in the world of policymaking,\ntechnology development, civil society and academia.\nIn 2025, the OII will take up residence in the new Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities, moving from\nour current location across three sites on St Giles.\nFor more information about the Oxford Internet Institute please visit https://www.oii.ox.ac.uk/.\n\nThe Social Sciences Division\nThe University’s academic departments and faculties are organised into four large groups known as\nAcademic Divisions (Social Sciences, Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences (MPLS), Medical\nSciences, and Humanities). The divisions are responsible for academic strategy and operational\nplanning, oversight of the teaching and research of their constituent departments and faculties, and\nfor personnel and resource management. The social sciences at Oxford are distinctive for both their\ndepth and breadth, with over 1,100 academic and research staff working across fifteen departments,\nfaculties and schools. The Head of the Social Sciences Division is Professor Timothy Power.\nThe Division is a world-leading centre of research and education in the social sciences. The Times\nHigher Education (THE) University Rankings returned the University of Oxford to the number one spot\nin the world for Social Sciences in 2022. We have placed first in three of the last five years (2018, 2019\nand 2022).\nMore than 800 researchers were returned to Main Panel C (Social Sciences) for REF 2021 across a\ndiverse range of subject area ‘units of assessment’ – from geography and business to archaeology and\nlaw. Over 55% of the research submitted from the Division was judged to be world-leading (4*, the\nhighest score available). More than two-thirds (69%) of the research’s impact was also recognised as\nworld-leading (4*). Research from across the Division was also submitted to subject areas across\nPanels A (Medicine, health and life sciences), B (Physical sciences, engineering and mathematics), and\nD (Arts and Humanities), highlighting the enormous breadth and diversity of research expertise across\nthe Division.\nOur academic and research staff and students are international thought leaders, generating new\nevidence, insights and policy tools with which to address some of the major global challenges facing\nhumanity, such as sustainable resource management, poverty and forced migration, effective\ngovernance and justice. Particular research highlights in recent years have included COVID-19 and\nClimate Change. As well as active interdisciplinary links with researchers in other divisions at Oxford,\nwe engage and collaborate extensively with other universities and a wide range of governmental and\nnon-governmental practitioner communities such as law, business, public health and welfare,\ninternational development and education around the world. The Division has an extensive portfolio\nof external funders, partners and supporters, with competitively-awarded external research income\nexceeding £50 million per year and philanthropic income over £25 million a year. As part of our\ncommitment to equality of opportunity, eight of our departments have achieved bronze Athena SWAN\nawards (a UK accreditation scheme recognising organisations’ commitment to equality and diversity,\nparticularly in gender): Archaeology, the Blavatnik School of Government, Economics, Education,\nInternational Development, Law, Anthropology & Museum Ethnography, and the Saïd Business\nSchool. Our School of Geography and the Environment holds an Athena SWAN silver award. All of our\nother departments are either in the process of applying or are scheduled to do so shortly.\n5\n\nThe Division delivers an exceptional range of high-quality educational programmes all underpinned by\nthe innovative research being undertaken by our academics.

DAE’s mission is to help secure philanthropic support for the University,\nand build an engaged, informed and active alumni community. Through working in partnership with academic,\ndevelopment, and alumni colleagues throughout the collegiate University, DAE builds enduring relationships with\nexternal constituencies – including alumni, non-alumni, corporate and foundation donors – and increases financial\nsupport for agreed academic priorities.\nThe office is one of the central administrative departments of the University, collectively known as University\nAdministration and Services. Due to the nature of its work, DAE collaborates closely with a number of other units\nand teams, particularly Public Affairs, Finance, Research and Legal.\nIn 2019, the University and the colleges completed the Oxford Thinking Campaign, which raised £3.34bn, and is\nthe most successful higher education fundraising campaign in Europe.

The department is proud of it’s embedded ED&I culture, and its culture of\ninnovation – nine new companies have been created since 2018 with six more in the pipeline for 2024. The\nDepartment educates and trains exceptional physicists, promotes the public understanding of Physics, and inspires\nthe next generation of scientists through a wide range of outreach activities.\nThis is an exciting time to join the development team in MPLS, and to work specifically with Oxford Physics. The\ndepartment has a well-established development strategy and an excellent track record of fundraising, having\nraised significant funds for the award-winning and state of the art Beecroft Building.

The department is headed by Professor Ian Shipsey FRS, who developed the\ninstrumentation that enabled the Higgs Boson particle to be identified at CERN. The department has ambitious\nplans to build on the success of recent fundraising and to maximise the opportunities for ground-breaking\nresearch in the world class facility of the Beecroft Building.

Fundraising\npriorities include support for graduate scholarships, key academic posts, research programmes and infrastructure.\nThe MPLS divisional development team is small but highly effective, working collaboratively with colleagues across\nthe division and with expert colleagues in Development and Alumni Engagement.

Apprenticeship Talent Pool - Register for September 2024 jobs now!

\n
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

\n
 

\n
IMPORTANT: You must be registered with the Talent Pool before the deadline to access the individual job roles on offer

\n
 

\n
We offer a vast range of apprenticeship programmes, from Business Administration, Human Resources and Finance, to Laboratory Technicians, Engineering, Horticulture, Arboriculture and Digital Marketing. The full list can be found at the link above, along with the entry requirements for each one.

\n
 

\n
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.

\n
 

\n
This recruitment will run until 8 April 2024, however, please continue to look at our website as further opportunities may also become available in the future.

\n
 

\n
About you

\n
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.

\n
 

\n
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.

\n
 

\n
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.

\n
 

\n
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.

\n
 

\n
What we offer

\n
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.

\n
 

\n
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.

\n
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.

\n
 

\n
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.

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

\n
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.

 PLEASE NOTE THE CLOSING DATE OF THIS POST HAS BEEN EXTENDED UNITL19 APRIL 2023

\n
 

\n
A position is available for a period of 36 months, tenable at Oxford University, on a project in the field of experimental physical chemistry of liquids and electrolyte solutions. The successful candidate will be registered for PhD training while employed by the University as part of the UKRI Guarantee Doctoral Networks-funded Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Grant (“FLUXIONIC: Controlled transport of water and ions in nanoconfinement” doctoral network).

\n
 

\n
Water and ions in confined geometry arise in a vast range of natural phenomena, from the salt organs of marine animals to the biomineralizing environments where shells, teeth, cytoskeletons are formed. The electrolyte solutions involved in these processes are typically at high concentration and are highly complex, involving multiple ionic and non-ionic ingredients: atomic or molecular ions, polar and zwitterionic molecules (e.g. amino acids), and polymers/polyelectrolytes. These co-solutes can be crucial in determining the outcome of a process, e.g. the polymorphs resulting from mineralisation.  In this project you will study the influence of ‘spectator’ ions and polymers on structure and interactions in electrolyte solutions confined to thin films, and their effect on mineralisation from supersaturated solutions in confinement. This role includes experimental and theoretical study of aqueous solutions at interfaces and in thin films using a surface force balance (SFB) within the research team of Susan Perkin, and will be based in the Physical and Theoretical Chemistry Laboratory, Department of Chemistry, University of Oxford.

\n
 

\n
The successful applicant will also become a member of the UKRI Guarantee Doctoral Networks “FLUXIONIC”, funded from 2024-2028 by a UKRI Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions grant.  They will become part of a Europe-wide network of students and investigators all working on projects related to Controlled transport of water and ions in nanoconfinement. Annual scientific meetings and training events will be included in the network’s activities.  Furthermore, the successful applicant will have the opportunity to carry out a secondment at another laboratory (“node”) of the network during the 36 month project.  The fellow will be registered DPhil student of the university and also employed as a worker.

\n
 

\n
The total amount of funding allocated by UKRI to the benefit of the fellow is equivalent to £39,972.91 pa . Actual salary will depend on employer deductions, personal circumstances and the exchange rate applicable to the fellowship. This amount includes an annual living allowance and a mobility allowance (to cover the expenses associated with working in a different country). Under the terms of the UKRI funding, which aims to promote mobility within the research community, to be eligible for the post you:

\n
 

\n
-        Must not have been resident in the UK for more than a total of 12 months in the past three years.

\n
-        Must not already have obtained a doctorate or had more than 4 years full time research experience

\n
 

\n
The start date is subject to discussion; the latest possible date is 1st October 2024.

\n
 

\n
An application should include a CV, a letter describing how you meet the criteria for the post (see further particulars), together with the names and contact details of two referees.

One of it's emphases is on clinical applications of novel genomics technologies, in particular next generation sequencing and array-based methods.  The results of this programme are already being translated to the clinic. Particular focus is currently on cancer, haematology and inherited disorders.

\n
The interdisciplinary nature of the Department of Oncology and of the Oxford Molecular Diagnostics Centre involves a diverse and stimulating array of challenges relating to biology, sequence analysis, statistics, computer programming and the application of these to clinical questions. This, combined with collaborations across Oxford’s CRUK Cancer Centre and the Oxford Centre of Early Cancer Detection (OxCode) provides an active and rich research environment.

\n
You will be responsible for scientifically leading the chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) related cancer genomics projects. You will work with a small group of data scientists to develop a molecular risk score for disease progression from pre-malignancy using a large data set of whole genome tumour-normal pairs. In addition, you will be involved in applying tools for neo-epitope prediction of CLL from transcriptome sequencing. You will be familiar with working in the Genomics England’s data environment. You will apply analysis methods and where appropriate, develop novel methods and algorithms, and work on setting up and maintaining the necessary data processing pipelines. You will work closely with multi-disciplinary project teams, encompassing laboratory scientists and clinicians and other data scientists on the Oxford Campus.

\n
This is a full-time post, fixed-term for 1 year in first instance.

\n
 

\n
About You

\n
You must hold a PhD in Bioinformatics, Statistical Genetics or similar discipline, along with deep understanding of CLL genomics evidenced by high-impact publications. You will have previous overseas postdoctoral experience in an internationally renowned institution in applied DNA sequence analysis or a directly comparable field. Demonstrable programming skills in languages such as Python, Java, C/C++, R or similar and ability to assess new developments in bioinformatics are essential. You will have early evidence of the ability to lead a team scientifically and a proven track record of managing international collaborations effectively, as well as previous experience of directly supervising students. A Strong academic publication record in peer-reviewed journals and previous experience of cancer sequence analysis would be advantageous.

The ambition for this project is to carry out multidisciplinary research, via inter-linked work streams, that will explore and conceive four new photovoltaic device concepts and paradigms, enabling the next major step-change in photovoltaic efficiency. New devices architectures, concentrator PV, quantum cutting, hot-carrier collection and photon transport, will be explored and enabled by absorber materials based on metal-halide perovskites, silicon, and novel low-band-gap chalcogenide-halide semiconductors, supported by fundamental experimental characterisation and materials modelling. Addressing these future advanced concepts through a holistic approach will enable key scientific discoveries and important major technical advances enabling the next generation of PV technologies for beyond 2030.

\n
 

\n
This role will focus on the development of new “quantum cutting” perovskite solar cells.   The post will involve the design and fabrication of perovskite solar cells via vacuum deposition techniques.  It will involve process design, control and optimisation based on feedback from material and device characterisation. The post holder will make use of the National Thin Film Cluster for Vapour Deposition of Advanced Functional Materials as well as an experimental custom-built deposition system.  Extensive materials and device fabrication characterisation facilities in Oxford Physics will also be utilised by the individual who will work closely with other experimentalists, theorists, chemists, materials scientists and spectroscopists working on the project.

\n
 

\n
Applicants should possess or be close to obtaining a PhD in physics, materials science, engineering or chemistry. They should be highly experienced in semiconductor device fabrication and characterisation.  They should be highly experienced in vacuum-based growth of semiconductor heterostructures, process design and process control.  The ability to design devices, characterise materials and devices as well as problem solving skills are essential.

\n
 

\n
Applicants should be highly motivated and have excellent skills in working collaboratively, as part of a team. A good track record of high-quality publications is essential. Having the ability to direct your own research and interpret your results independently is a must.

\n
The successful candidate will join a multi-disciplinary group of machine learning scientists, epidemiologists and clinicians at Deep Medicine who lead pioneering research in precision medicine with a focus on cardiovascular health.  

\n
 

\n
The researcher will be expected to lead, build upon and advance this work in order to integrate various HER data sources and other omics database and build multi-type and multi-model AI solutions for risk prediction. Working with some of the largest and most comprehensive EHR, in the world, such as CPRD and UK Biobank as well as more niche “Omics” datasets, the project provides a unique opportunity to apply advanced techniques from machine learning and conduct high-impact research, while contributing to the broader goals of Deep Medicine. 

\n

The objective of the project is to develop and enhance a range of Transformer-based models to predict the risk of key clinical outcomes, such as all-cause mortality and cardiovascular events and undertake subsequent analyses of the models for hypothesis generation in the context of MLTC. At the onset, the focus will be to develop robust AI models for prediction as compared to established benchmarks. The focus will then shift to explainability and association studies.

\n
 

\n
The researcher is expected to take ownership of the project, propose novel methods, models and applications of ML/DL, write protocols for studies, present the ideas within the group, have advanced coding and data processing skills to execute the ideas in a timely manner and publish the results in high impact ML conferences and medical journals such as ICML, NeurIPS, Lancet, JAMA, BMJ, and Nature Machine Intelligence. As a senior researcher the holder of the position is expected work with other senior researchers within the team and lead grant applications on related topics. 

\n
 

\n
The suitable candidate must hold a minimum of PhD or an equivalent qualification in computer science, statistics, mathematics, engineering or other relevant areas and have up-to-date knowledge in advanced AI topics, such as deep learning, representation learning, sequence models, NLP, multimodal AI, generative models. The researcher must have advanced programming skills in Python and related data processing, machine learning, deep learning, and visualisation libraries, such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn, Dask, PySpark, Pandas and have familiarity with causal inference on observational data. 

\n
 

\n
The post is full-time (part-time will be considered, a minimum of 0.6 FTE) and is fixed term for 24 months in the first instance. Applications for flexible working arrangements are welcomed and will be considered in line with business needs.

Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the field of molecular reaction dynamics to work with Professor Mark Brouard for a period of up to 2 years. The post will be based in the Department of Chemistry and is available from June 2024.

\n
 

\n
The project is funded through an EPSRC Programme Grant, entitled ‘New Directions in Molecular Scattering: Multiple Pathways and Products’ which is held jointly by the University of Oxford and Heriot-Watt University. Although the successful candidate will be based largely in Oxford, the post will involve close collaboration (including research visits) with the research groups of other members of the grant, including those based at Heriot-Watt University, Professors Ken McKendrick Principal Investigator of the Programme Grant), Matt Costen, Stuart Greaves, and Martin Paterson.

\n
 

\n
Find out more about the Programme Grant at https://molecularscattering.com and research group at https://www.chem.ox.ac.uk/people/mark-brouard.

\n
 

\n
The post falls within theme 1 of the Programme Grant ‘Scattering to benchmark fundamental theory’. We currently have the capability to study collisions of NO(X) radicals with a partner atom with complete initial and final state resolution, and as a function of the initial bond-axis orientation of the NO collider. This project will extend these studies to larger and more complex systems, ranging from NO + diatomic molecules to NO + symmetric top molecules in selected molecular orientations. A key goal will be to investigate and understand steric effects in these larger systems through direct control of the collision geometry. The project is mainly experimental in nature but an interest in developing and/or applying fundamental theory to such systems would also be helpful.

\n
 

\n
Applicants must hold or be close to completion of a PhD in Chemistry or a relevant subject area prior to taking up the appointment. The research requires experience in high vacuum systems, lasers, molecular beams, charged particle beams and optics, velocity-map imaging detection and the associated data processing and analysis. The successful candidate will be expected to manage their own academic research and administrative activities, demonstrating the ability to coordinate multiple aspects of work in order to meet deadlines.

\n
 

\n
Applications for this vacancy are to be made online and you will be required to upload a supporting statement and CV as part of your application. Your supporting statement must explain how you meet each of the selection criteria for the post using examples of your skills and experience. Certificates, references and research papers should not be provided at this stage.

We are looking to hire an ourstanding experimentalist for an exciting project at the interface of biochemistry and biophysics that has as its goals to understand the dynamics of eukaryotic DNA replication.

\n
This post is fixed term for 4 years

\n
 

\n
What are you going to do?

\n
In this fully-funded interdisciplinary and highly collaborative project, you will:

\n
• use your knowledge of ensemble biochemistry and protein purification to design experiments in DNA replication;

\n
• develop novel biochemical approaches that enable experiments in DNA replication at the single-molecule level;

\n
• come up with suggestions to expand the interdisciplinary skillset as necessary for the benefit of the project;

\n
• perfrom both ensemble and single-molecule experiments that enhance our understanding of DNA replication;

\n
• develop your quantitative analysis skills and use these to analyze your data;

\n
• help to establish a scientifically outstanding and warmly communicative interdisciplinary team at the University of Oxford;

\n
• publish your results together with other biochemists and biophysicists on the team;

\n
• have the opportunity to obtain teaching experience and improve your leadership skills while guiding undergraduate and graduate students;

\n
 

\n
About the project

\n
During our lifetimes, we copy approximately a lightyear’s worth of DNA, and how the different components of the molecular machinery (the replisome) work together to achieve this successfully is an area of highly active research.  Here, you will take on the exciting challenge of understanding the dynamics of DNA replication by studying the activity of eukaryotic replisome at the single-molecule level. You will examine replisome composition, replisome motion dynamics, and the interplay between these two quantities; and examine how these change in the context of chromatin or obstacles on the DNA. To do so, you will design and employ novel biochemical approaches (e.g. protein purification, protein labelling, ensemble assays) that report on DNA replication as well as enable single-molecule studies (using optical tweezers, magnetic tweezers, single-molecule fluorescence, or a combination of the above). Integrating such approaches with the knowledge or methods of cryo-electron microscopy is also of interest. You should have an intrinsic interest in integrating biochemical and biophysical approaches, and interacting with external collaborators in molecular biology and biochemistry at the University of Oxford and elsewhere in the United Kingdom is essential. In doing so, you will publish high-quality scientific papers to advance this exciting field.

\n
 

\n
Requirements For this innovative, interdisciplinary project, we are looking a biochemist, with:

\n
•         a successfully completed Ph.D. degree in biochemistry or closely related feld;

\n
•         practical experience and scientific maturity in the above areas;

\n
•         strong skills and interest in DNA-protein interactions, DNA replication, and protein biochemistry;

\n
•         strong experience in protein purification;

\n
•         experience with single-molecule methods is a plus;

\n
•         a strong motivation to develop a combined biochemistry/biophysics skillset (e.g. understanding of mechanochemistry, single-molecule kinetics, protein biochemistry and biophysics, cryo-EM) in interdisciplinary research;

\n
•         an independent, well-organized, and reliable work style together with an ability and interest in working in a small team;

\n
•         good interpersonal communication skills and a strong interest in the broader field of biophysics, thereby contributing to our interactive lab culture;

Further to a reorganisation of Professional Services roles in the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, we are seeking three highly efficient and capable administrators to become members of the academic administration team in the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. These posts provide an excellent opportunity to develop a career in University administration.

\n
 

\n
The Academic Administrator (Year 4 / GE2) will assist the Senior Academic Administrator (Year 4 / GE2) with the administration of the first year (Year 4) of the Clinical Medicine programme, some parts of which are shared with Year 2 of the Graduate-entry Medicine programme.

Immediately after an\neruption volcanic clouds are important to monitor as they can form a hazard to aircraft.\nSpectral remote sensing in the infrared offers one of the few techniques that can\nestablish volcanic particle composition and provide the data needed to quantify an\neruption’s radiative impact.\nThe mixture of particle types within a volcanic cloud does not allow traditional\napproaches of independently retrieving gas or particle concentrations. The aim of this\nproject is to characterise the ash and sulphuric acid in volcanic clouds (> 48 hours) from\nhigh resolution infrared instruments such as the Infrared Atmospheric Sounding\nInterferometer (IASI) instruments and the Cross-track Infrared Sounder (CrIS). This\nwork will be validated against other satellites (e.g. IASI, MLS, TROPOMI, Calipso, and\nACE), in situ and ground based measurements.\nThe eruption of Hunga-Tonga in January 2022 generated a volcanic cloud of enhanced\nconcentrations of water vapour and sulphur dioxide combined with particles of ash, ice\nand sulphuric acid. The new retrieval method will be used to study the evolution of the\nclouds from the Hunga-Tonga eruption with the aim of trying to better understand the\nrapid development of sulphuric acid and the distribution of ash in the stratosphere.\n\nResponsibilities\n- Develop and validate IASI and CrIS satellite retrievals for quantifying sulphuric acid and ash\nproperties.\n- Apply retrievals to study emissions from the HT-HH eruption and observe the evolution of the\nclouds in the weeks and months after the eruption occurred\n- Presentation of results at national and international meetings and their publication in highimpact peer-reviewed journals\n- Contribution to the intellectual life of the Earth Observation Data Group, including meetings\nand collaborations, as required\n- The post-holder will have the opportunity to teach.

The collegiate\nsystem fosters a strong sense of community, bringing together leading academics and students across subjects, and from\ndifferent cultures and countries. Merton College was founded in 1264 by Walter de Merton, and is one of the oldest\ncolleges in Oxford. It was the first fully self-governing college in the University of Oxford and was originally founded for\ntwenty fellows, with undergraduates being formally admitted in the early 1380s. Over the centuries, many eminent\nscholars and cultural leaders have called Merton home including three Nobel Prize winners and an Abel Prize winner.\nMerton College has a strong commitment to excellence in research and teaching across a range of subjects in the\nSciences, Humanities, and Social Sciences. Information about the College can be found here.\nThe College community currently comprises around 590 students (320 undergraduates and 270 postgraduates), some\n70 Fellows, 50 other academic staff and over 100 members of support staff. On average the College has around 20\nresearch fellows at any one time. A number of Merton Fellows and gr aduates take part in the College’s interdisciplinary\ndiscussion groups, currently organised in three areas: the Ockham Lectures, Biomedical and Life Sciences, and the\nHistory of the Book. In addition, the College convenes a number of research talks through out the year and fosters\ninternational collaboration through an active Visiting Researcher scheme including provision of accommodation for\nscholars. The College strives to create a diverse, welcoming, inclusive and supportive community in which its students can\nthrive.\nChemistry at Merton\nMerton College admits six undergraduates per year for the four-year undergraduate degree in Chemistry. There are currently\n10 graduate students reading for higher degrees in Chemistry. Merton’s Chemistry Society, the Frederick Soddy Society, is\nnamed after the Merton Chemist who won a Nobel Prize in 1921 for his contribution to the knowledge of the chemistry of\nradioactive substances, and his investigations into the origin and nature of isotopes. All undergraduate and postgraduate\nchemists of the College are automatically members. The Society organises a number of events throughout the year, including\nan annual Frederick Soddy Lecture.\nInformation on the undergraduate degree courses and information about Chemistry at the University of Oxford and at Merton\nCollege can be found at the following links:\nUndergraduate Study\nChemistry at Merton\nThe successful candidate will join Merton as one of its two Tutors in Chemistry, alongside Professor Madhavi Krishnan\n(Physical Chemistry) whose research interests include single molecule science, intermolecular interactions, electrostatics at\nthe nanoscale, biophysics and soft condensed matter.

The University side is represented by an\nAssociate Professorship . The appointee is selected and funded jointly by the College(s) concerned and\nby the relevant division of the University. The joint appointment system is an unusual arrangement in\nresearch-intensive universities. Its central feature is that academics of major research reputation are\nattached to particular Colleges as Tutorial Fellows, where they are members of an interdisciplinary\ncommunity of moderate size. In those Colleges they teach, and arrange teaching for, a small cohort of\nvery able undergraduates in tutorials (teaching sessions with one, two, or three students) and small\nclasses, monitoring their progress individually over the whole of their course. They also have\nresponsibility for advising a certain number of graduate students in their subject area within their\nCollege. Tutorial Fellowships thus hold a key place in the intellectual culture of the collegiate University\nof Oxford. This document, adopted by the Conference of Colleges, aims to set out the main features of\nTutorial Fellowships, and the expectations that Colleges will generally have of Tutorial Fellows.\nThe duties of a Tutorial Fellow are not confined to the College. All have an obligation as members of a\ndepartment or faculty to contribute to research and teaching, and this will usually include lecturing,\nclass teaching, supervision of graduate students and University examining alongside contributing to an\ninternationally excellent research environment. As Associate Professors, the holders of joint\nappointments will also be expected to contribute to discussion and governance in their faculty or\ndepartment, serving on committees, revising teaching syllabus materials and reading lists, and taking on\nadministrative roles as needed. All Tutorial Fellows are also members of Congregation, the sovereign\nlegislative body within the University, and have a right to vote on matters before Congregation.\n\n2: Research\nThe Colleges have the same interest as departments and faculties in seeking to appoint to Tutorial\nFellowships academic staff whose research is or has the potential to be of international standing, and a\nTutorial Fellow will be required by the College to engage in research and publication at the highest\nlevel. The Colleges and the University work together to appoint outstanding researchers who are willing\nand able to engage in undergraduate and graduate teaching, student support and pastoral work, and\nadministrative duties. Colleges offer extensive support for research, funding regular sabbatical leave\nand providing a system of allowances, together with rooms and library facilities, all within a welcoming,\ninterdisciplinary community.\n\n3: Teaching and support\nThose appointed to Tutorial Fellowships are required to perform for the College or for the benefit of\nthe College the stint of undergraduate tutorial teaching specified in their contract or job description,\nunder the general oversight of each College’s Senior Tutor. The timing of tutorials and the exact\nnumbers of students in each tutorial group are usually matters for the individual tutor, though each\n12\nMPLS APTF JD Nov 2020\n\nCollege will have established conventions, and the Senior Tutor and subject colleagues will provide\nadvice and examples of past good practice including arrangements such as intercollegiate teaching\nexchanges which are commonly used to provide expert coverage of different aspects of (or subjects\nwithin) a discipline. Tutorial teaching is not the same as lecturing: the intention is to engage the\nstudents in small groups in intellectual interaction and creative dialogue so as to help them develop an\nindependent, critical, and well-informed approach to their discipline. This approach is underpinned by\nregularly setting written work, typically weekly essays or problem sheets supported as necessary with\nrecommended reading. Assessment and feedback on that written work is given by the tutors orally\nduring the tutorials as well as by more conventional written comments or marking. Appointees should\nhave the qualities required to relate effectively to students and their academic and personal needs.\nTutorial Fellows are generally assigned sole or joint tutorial responsibility for a defined group of\nstudents in their subject area within their College. This work typically involves the following tasks to\nsupport the students’ education:\n(a) arranging tutorial and/or class teaching for each student in each term, whether the teaching is done\nby the tutor or another, and ensuring that teaching is of an appropriate standard;\n(b) monitoring students’ progress through termly written reports, and by means of collections (regular\ntests of performance) and/or assessment of vacation work;\n(c) pastoral support of undergraduates reading the subject in question;\n(d) interviewing candidates who apply to read the subject at the College, including arranging for help\nfrom other suitable interviewers and making the final selection of who should be admitted;\n(e) writing references for students, and directing them to appropriate careers advice;\n(f) recommending and selecting books and online materials for their subject area in the College Library;\n(g) delegating responsibilities (a)-(f) above when on sabbatical leave, in consultation with the Senior\nTutor and subject colleagues.\nTutorial Fellows are supported in these tasks by the administrative staff of the College and by the\nCollege Officers.\nTutorial Fellows normally do their tutorial teaching in rooms provided for them in Colleges or in their\nDepartments or Faculties and should be easily contactable through their Colleges during Term\n(although it is recognised that conferences and other commitments may mean that Tutorial Fellows are\nsometimes away from Oxford for short periods in Term).\nOxford Colleges offer strong pastoral support to all their students. Here Tutorial Fellows play a key role,\nnot only for their own undergraduates as indicated above, but also by acting as ‘College Adviser’ in\nCollege for a number of graduate students in their disciplinary area (this being additional to the formal\nacademic supervision of research students arranged by the University with a suitable expert very\npossibly from another College). While Tutorial Fellows are often the first point of contact for students\nwho are having difficulties, there are, of course, experts available when professional help is needed.\nTutorial Fellows work closely with College Officers and with staff with appropriate medical and welfare\ntraining to ensure that students are supported appropriately and referred to professional services if\nthat is necessary.\n\n4: College Governance\nOxford Colleges are self-governing communities with wide responsibilities. Tutorial Fellows are\nnormally members of College Governing Bodies, the sovereign bodies of Colleges. They are usually\nCharity Trustees as well as employees. At the Queen’s College, major College Officerships (Senior Tutor,\nTutor for Admissions, Tutor for Graduates, Dean) are taken on by Tutorial Fellows on a full-time or part13\nMPLS APTF JD Nov 2020\n\ntime basis for agreed limited periods in return for additional stipend and/or a specified remission of\ntutorial teaching duties. In these various ways, Tutorial Fellows are expected to contribute to the\ngovernance and running of their Colleges, though Tutorial Fellows will not normally be asked to take on\nsignificant administrative duties in their probationary period (or in the first five years, if their\nprobationary period is shorter than that).\n\nANNEXE\nANNEXE\nPAY SCALE FOR ASSOCIATE PROFESSORS WITH TUTORIAL FELLOWSHIPS (APTF-U)\nPAY\nSCALE\nFOR\nASSOCIATE\nWITH TUTORIAL FELLOWSHIPS (APTF-U)\n(with\neffect\nfrom\n1 AugustPROFESSORS\n2023)\n(with effect from 1 August 2023)\nGrade (30S)\nScale\n\nNational Pay spine\n\nUniversity Salary\n\nCollege Salary\n\nTotal Salary\n\npoint\n11\n10\n9\n8\n7\n6\n5\n4\n3\n2\n1\n\n52\n51\n50\n49\n48\n47\n46\n45\n44\n43\n42\n\n£59,479\n£57,750\n£56,073\n£54,443\n£52,862\n£51,327\n£49,836\n£48,390\n£46,985\n£45,621\n£44,296\n\n£11,439\n£11,107\n£10,784\n£10,471\n£10,167\n£9,871\n£9,585\n£9,306\n£9,036\n£8,774\n£8,519\n\n14\nMPLS APTF JD Nov 2020\n\n£70,918\n£68,857\n£66,857\n£64,914\n£63,029\n£61,198\n£59,421\n£57,696\n£56,021\n£54,395\n£52,815\n\n"^^ ; dc:format "application/pdf" ; dcterms:title "JD APTF 170770 PP Queens college.pdf" . a gr:UnitPriceSpecification ; rdfs:label "Associate Professor (Tf-University): Combined University and College salary in the range: £52,815 to £70,918 p.a., plus substantial additional benefits including a housing allowance of £19,497 p.a." ; gr:validThrough "2024-04-08T12:00:00+01:00"^^ . a foaf:Agent ; v:email ; foaf:name "HR Administrator" . a gr:UnitPriceSpecification ; rdfs:label "Standard Grade 7: £36,024 - £44,263 p.a." ; gr:validThrough "2024-04-09T12:00:00+01:00"^^ . a foaf:Agent ; v:email ; foaf:name "Aga Bogucka" . a foaf:Document ; rdf:value "Professorship of\nComparative Law\nFaculty of Law\nSocial Sciences Division\nBrasenose College\n\nCONTENTS\n3\n\nOverview of the post\n\n5\n\nDuties of the post\n\n7\n\nSelection criteria\n\n9\n\nHow to apply\n\n11\n\nThe Faculty of Law\n\n13\n\nTeaching\n\n15\n\nThe Bodleian Law Library\n\n16\n\nThe Social Sciences Division\n\n18\n\nBrasenose College\n\n20\n\nAbout the University of Oxford\n\n22\n\nUniversity Benefits, Terms and Conditions\n\n24\n\nCollege Benefits\n\n2\n\nOVERVIEW OF\nTHE POST\n©John Cairns\n\nThe Faculty of Law and Brasenose College intend to appoint to the Professorship of\nComparative Law with effect from 1 October 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter.\nThe Professor of Comparative Law will provide leadership in teaching and research at\nthe highest level in the comparative study of legal systems, national or transnational.\nExpertise in the comparison of any aspect of law, both public law and private law, is\nwelcome.

There are some 185 members of the Law Faculty, of whom around 100 are\nemployed by the Faculty in permanent posts as Associate Professors or Professors.\nThe Law Faculty has a distinguished reputation in research and publications in Law. In\nthe Research Excellence Framework 2021, we were again ranked first in the research\npower index, with 55% of our submissions being judged to be world-leading (4*, the\nhighest score available). More than four-fifths (83%) of the research’s impact was also\nrecognised as world-leading (4*). Oxford Law has been ranked second in the world in\nthe QS World University rankings and first in Europe for the last four years.\nThe executive body of the Faculty of Law is the Board of the Faculty, an elected body\nof 26 members of the Faculty. The Professor will be eligible for election to the Board.\nIn common with other non-departmentally organised subjects in Oxford, most\nmembers of staff are based in their colleges. Promoting Faculty cohesiveness,\nwhether in terms of supporting junior colleagues or maximising the opportunities for\nresearch collaboration, is thus important, and members of the professoriate are\nexpected to contribute substantially to this process. Statutory Professors in the\nFaculty are expected to play a leading role in the running of the Faculty including,\nfrom time to time, holding the Faculty Board’s administrative offices when asked to\ndo so.\nThe Faculty itself is based in the St Cross Building, a listed modernist building\ndesigned by Leslie Martin and opened in 1964. Recently partially refurbished, the St\nCross Building houses the Bodleian Law Library and also provides facilities for\nadministration, teaching, conferences and teleconferences, and social events. The St\nCross Building serves as a hub for Law in Oxford, but Faculty events are also held in\nthe thirty or so Oxford Colleges that have Fellows in Law. There are five specialised\ncentres associated with the Law Faculty: the Centre for Criminology, the Institute of\nEuropean and Comparative Law, the Centre for Socio-Legal Studies, the Oxford\nIntellectual Property Research Centre, and the Bonavero Institute for Human Rights.\nOxford’s Faculty of Law was one of the first in the UK to be awarded an Athena Swan\nBronze Certificate (now Charter) to recognise its work on advancement of gender\nequality and the building of inclusive cultures.\n.\n\n11\n\nThe Faculty’s commitment to equality and inclusion is led by its Associate Dean for\nEquality and Diversity. For more information see: https://www.law.ox.ac.uk/equalityand-diversity/athena-swan-0\nFurther information about faculty members can be found on the Law Faculty website\nComparative Law at Oxford\nThe Professor will be expected to contribute to the leadership of Oxford in\ncomparative law research. The Law Faculty values the connection between research\nand teaching. We currently offer an undergraduate course on Comparative Private\nLaw and a wide range of comparative law courses at graduate level. The professor\nwill be expected to contribute to some of these courses, and to work with colleagues\nand with the Faculty to further develop the teaching of comparative law.\nThe Professor will be expected to supervise research students on works related to\ncomparative law. Oxford has a large and strong community of research students in\nLaw, including the largest doctoral programme in Law in the English- speaking world.\nLeadership of the graduate research community will be an important focus of the\nProfessor’s work. You can read more about research activities at the Institute of\nEuropean and Comparative Law.\nThe Faculty has always encouraged excellence in diversity as its research strategy,\nseeking to achieve high quality in the broad range of subjects in which Faculty\nmembers pursue their interests. The Faculty’s Research Support Fund provides\nresources for research assistance, conference attendance and other research-related\nactivities. The Faculty employs a Research Facilitation team to support internal and\nexternal grant applications and is in the process of expanding its research support\nfurther.\nThe Professor will receive a start-up grant of £7,500 from the Law Faculty to use\nduring the first two years of appointment, and will be eligible to apply for funding\nfrom the Faculty’s grant schemes, which currently include those for IT equipment and\nResearch Support. The Professor will also have access to up to £30,000 from the\nUniversity Higher Studies Fund for research costs during the first three years in post.\nIt should be noted that the Law Faculty does not provide dedicated secretarial\nsupport to its academic postholders.\n\n12\n\nTEACHING\nUndergraduate teaching within the Faculty\nThere are approximately 240 undergraduates in each year. Most read for the threeyear BA in Jurisprudence while a small number (35 or so per year) follow the Law with\nLaw Studies in Europe course over four years, with one year being devoted to study\nin France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain or Italy.\nThe undergraduate programme is distinctive in that, as well as covering the typical\ncore subjects that all British law schools offer (such as Contract, Tort, Criminal, and\nConstitutional Law) it also requires students to study Roman Law and Jurisprudence.\nIts other distinctive feature is its reliance on tutorials, featuring teaching groups of\nonly two to four students, as its principal means of course delivery. Students study\ncompulsory subjects in the first two years of the programme, and undertake a\npreliminary examination at the end of the second term, but in their final year may\nchoose two options from a list of 20 or so which includes Comparative Law. (The full\nrange of subjects taught at Undergraduate level may be found on the Faculty\nwebsite.)\nThe undergraduate programmes, including admissions, are the immediate\nresponsibility of the Faculty’s Undergraduate Studies Committee, its Associate Dean\nfor Undergraduate Studies, and its Admissions and Access and Outreach\nCoordinators.\nThe Professor may be required to lecture to undergraduate students in subjects\nrelated to comparative law, but will not be required to give undergraduate tutorials\n(individual or very small group tuition).\nGraduate teaching within the Faculty\nThe Faculty sustains a major graduate programme and its graduate research school\nis the largest of any law school in the English-speaking world. There are currently\nabout 640 graduate students, of whom approximately half are enrolled in taught\nprogrammes, the largest being the Bachelor of Civil Law (BCL) and Magister Juris\n(MJur) which account for approximately 150 students combined. Both are full-time\ncourses, as is the Master of Science (MSc) in Law and Finance and Master of\nPhilosophy (MPhil) in Criminology and Criminal Justice, while the MSc in Criminology\nand Criminal Justice is offered both as a full-time and part-time course.\n\n13\n\nThere are then a number of courses which are exclusively part-time – the MSc\ndegrees in Intellectual Property, in International Human Rights Law, and in Taxation;\nand the Postgraduate Diploma in Intellectual Property and Practice. Research\ndegrees account for the remainder of the students and comprise the Doctor of\nPhilosophy (DPhil) degrees in Law, in Socio-Legal Studies, and in Criminology (all\noffered as both full-time and part-time courses), and the one year Master of\nPhilosophy (MPhil) degrees in Law and in Socio-Legal Research (both full-time\ncourses). All part-time courses are non-residential.\nThe graduate programmes, including graduate admissions, are the immediate\nresponsibility of the Faculty’s Graduate Studies Committee and its two Associate\nDeans (one for research degrees, the other for taught programmes). The graduate\ncohort provides a base for a productive interaction between advanced study and\nresearch - this is something to which the Faculty attaches great importance.\nThe Professor will be expected to supervise research students and contribute to the\nteaching of graduate students in comparative law as outlined above.\nFurther information on the Faculty of Law can be found on the Law Faculty website.\n\n12\n\nTHE BODLEIAN\nLAW LIBRARY\n\nThe Bodleian Law Library houses over 600,000 volumes. It receives copies of all law\nbooks published in the United Kingdom, and has extensive holdings of overseas legal\npublications, notably of the Commonwealth, the US, and European countries. Oxford\nis designated as an EU documentation centre. The library has one of the most\nextensive collections of domestic and foreign law databases and e-resources in the\nUK.\nFurther information about the Bodleian Law Library can be found on its website.\n\n15\n\nTHE SOCIAL\nSCIENCES DIVISION\n\nThe University’s academic departments and faculties are organised into four large\ngroups known as Academic Divisions (Social Sciences, Mathematical, Physical and\nLife Sciences (MPLS), Medical Sciences, and Humanities). The divisions are\nresponsible for academic strategy and operational planning, oversight of the teaching\nand research of their constituent departments and faculties, and for personnel and\nresource management. The social sciences at Oxford are distinctive for both their\ndepth and breadth, with over 1,100 academic and research staff working across\nfifteen departments, faculties and schools. The Head of the Social Sciences Division is\nProfessor Timothy Power.\nThe Division is a world-leading centre of research and education in the social\nsciences. The Times Higher Education (THE) University Rankings returned the\nUniversity of Oxford to the number one spot in the world for Social Sciences in 2022.\nWe have placed first in three of the last five years (2018, 2019 and 2022).\nMore than 800 researchers were returned to Main Panel C (Social Sciences) for REF\n2021 across a diverse range of subject area ‘units of assessment’ – from geography\nand business to archaeology and law. Over 55% of the research submitted from the\nDivision was judged to be world-leading (4*, the highest score available). More than\ntwo-thirds (69%) of the research’s impact was also recognised as world-leading (4*).\nResearch from across the Division was also submitted to subject areas across Panels\nA (Medicine, health and life sciences), B (Physical sciences, engineering and\nmathematics), and D (Arts and Humanities), highlighting the enormous breadth and\ndiversity of research expertise across the Division.\n\n16\n\nOur academic and research staff and students are international thought leaders,\ngenerating new evidence, insights and policy tools with which to address some of the\nmajor global challenges facing humanity, such as sustainable resource management,\npoverty and forced migration, effective governance and justice. Particular research\nhighlights in recent years have included COVID-19 and Climate Change. As well as\nactive interdisciplinary links with researchers in other divisions at Oxford, we engage\nand collaborate extensively with other universities and a wide range of governmental\nand non-governmental practitioner communities such as law, business, public health\nand welfare, international development and education around the world. The Division\nhas an extensive portfolio of external funders, partners and supporters, with\ncompetitively-awarded external research income exceeding £50 million per year and\nphilanthropic income over £25 million a year.\nAs part of our commitment to equality of opportunity, eight of our departments have\nachieved Bronze Athena Swan Awards (a UK accreditation scheme recognising\norganisations’ commitment to equality and diversity, particularly in gender):\nArchaeology, the Blavatnik School of Government, Economics, Education,\nInternational Development, Law, Anthropology & Museum Ethnography, and the Saïd\nBusiness School. Our School of Geography and the Environment holds an Athena\nSwan Silver Award. All of our other departments are either in the process of applying\nor are scheduled to do so shortly.\nThe Division delivers an exceptional range of high-quality educational programmes\nall underpinned by the innovative research being undertaken by our academics. The\nstudent body is made up of over 2,000 undergraduate students, nearly 3,000\nstudents studying postgraduate taught programmes and 1,200 postgraduate\nresearch students. The programmes we offer are wide-ranging, often interdisciplinary\nand include professionally-oriented provision in areas such as business, law and\neducation. The Division is home to several of Oxford’s most widely recognised\nteaching programmes, such as Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) at\nundergraduate level; and at the Masters level programmes such as the Bachelor in\nCivil Law (BCL), Environmental Change and Management, International Relations, and\nSocial Data Science.\nFor more information, please visit the Social Sciences Division website.\n\n@OUI/ John\nCairns\nPhotography\n\n17\n\nBRASNOSE\nCOLLEGE\n\nOxford has 39 self-governing and independent Colleges, enabling academic staff and\nstudents to reap the benefits of belonging to a small, interdisciplinary community as\nwell as a large, internationally renowned University. The collegiate system fosters a\nstrong sense of community, bringing together leading academics and students\nacross subjects, and from different cultures and countries. Brasenose was founded in\n1509, making it one of the longest-established members of the collegiate University.\nAcross all years, there are approximately 375 undergraduates and 250 enrolled\ngraduates at Brasenose recruited from increasingly diverse backgrounds. The\nCollege’s paramount objective is the pursuit of academic excellence and it is\nconcerned to foster research as well as high-quality teaching. 43 Fellows and the\nPrincipal comprise the College’s Governing Body. Of these, five are Professorial\nFellows including four Statutory Chairs in Comparative Law, Civil Engineering, Ancient\nHistory, and Medical Science. Members of the Governing Body act as the trustees of\nthe Charity.\nThe Professor will be welcomed into the Brasenose community as a Professorial\nFellow, and through our various events, and especially over lunch (which is very\npopular and well-attended), offered the chance to interact with a broad range of\nother academics across many different disciplines. The appointment offers scope to\nbecome as involved in the social and intellectual life of the College as the appointee\nwishes. Throughout the year, there are also opportunities to invite guests – a\nhospitality allowance (detailed below) encourages Fellows to do this. Brasenose also\nseeks to be a family-friendly employer.\nFor more information about the College see https://www.bnc.ox.ac.uk/\n\n18\n\nLaw at Brasenose\nBrasenose College has a long and strong tradition in Law. One of the College’s cofounders was lawyer Sir Richard Sutton. Brasenose reckons many distinguished\nlawyers among its alumni, including Lord Scarman, Lord Saville, John Idowu Conrad\nTaylor (Nigerian Supreme Court Justice), Sir Nicholas Bratza (President of the\nEuropean Court of Human Rights), the Hon Belina van Heerden (Supreme Court\nJustice of South Africa), and current Supreme Court Justices Lord Burrows and Lady\nRose.

Having more than two conditions is called\n‘multiple long-term conditions’ (MLTC) also known as multimorbidity. The more conditions\nsomeone has, the more disabling the effects.\nThe CoMPuTE project (https://www.phc.ox.ac.uk/research/groups-and-centres/medicalstatistics/COMPUTE) is looking at whether we can predict those more likely to develop\nMLTC – to get help sooner to those who need it and prevent people from developing MLTC\nin the first place. The CoMPuTE programme is organised into three different themes and\nthese are :\n\n\nTo harness the power of longitudinal Electronic Health Records to develop AI-enhanced\nmodels and tools and improve the management (prevention and treatment) of mid-life\nand early old age MLTC and Complex-MLTC (C-MLTC). (Theme 1)\n\n\n\nTo characterise the epidemiology, inequalities and costs of C-MLTC by clusters of\ndisease trajectories identified in mid-life and early old age. (Theme 2)\n\n\n\nTo ensure decision-making tools and other outputs are fit-for-purpose and account for\nactual lived care needs and, therefore, serve the needs and expectations of target\naudiences. (Theme 3)\n\nWe are looking for a talented statistical epidemiologist to contribute to components of\nTheme 2 “Epidemiology, inequalities and health economics”. This will include using\nlarge scale data from electronic health records (CPRD) and UK Biobank to explore patterns\nand identify risk factors and the causal relevance of these risk factors for C-MLTC.

The ambition for this project is to\ncarry out multidisciplinary research, via inter-linked work streams, that will explore and conceive\nnew photovoltaic device concepts and paradigms, enabling the next major step-change in\nphotovoltaic efficiency. We base our vision on two key questions; what do we predict to be the\nnext game-changing transformation to PV technology? and what fundamental science and\ntechnical advances do we need to develop now, in order to deliver such a paradigm shift?\nWe will focus our research on the following 4 device concepts;\n* CONCENTRATOR PV, which operate under concentrated sun light to result in a 20 to 30%\nrelative increase in power conversion efficiency as compared to \"1-sun\" operation technologies;\n* QUANTUM CUTTING, for which rare-earth doping of novel halide semiconductors can result\nin the generation of two low-energy photons for every high-energy photon absorbed, boosting\nthe photocurrent generation in a PV device through photon-multiplication;\n* HOT-CARRIER COLLECTION, where carrier cooling losses are overcome by selectively\nextracting hot charge from a solar cell, boosting the theoretical efficiency limit all the way to\n66%;\n* \"PHOTON-TRANSPORT\" cell, designed so that the majority of charges are transported to\ncharge collection interfaces via photons, with the elimination of minority carriers from the bulk of\nthe absorber negating internal recombination losses and enabling PV cells to reach their\ntheoretical \"radiative\" limit.\nThe PV absorber materials will be based on metal-halide perovskites, silicon, and novel lowband-gap chalcogenide-halide semiconductors designed and discovered in this project.\nAddressing these future advanced concepts through a holistic approach will enable us to make\nthe first key scientific discoveries and important major technical advances in what will become\nthe next generation of PV technologies for beyond 2030.\nThis PDRA role will focus on the development of new “quantum cutting” perovskite solar cells.\nThe post will involve the design and fabrication of perovskite solar cells via vacuum deposition\ntechniques. It will involve process design control and optimisation based on feedback from\nmaterial and device characterisation. The post holder will make use of the National Thin Film\nCluster for Vapour Deposition of Advanced Functional Materials as well as an experimental\ncustom-built deposition system. Extensive materials and device fabrication characterisation\nfacilities in Oxford Physics will also be utilised by the individual who will work closely with other\nexperimentalists, theorists, chemists, materials scientists and spectroscopists working on the\nproject.\nThe post will be based in the sub department of Condensed Matter Physics and will report to\nProfessor Michael Johnston.\n\n2\n\nResponsibilities\n•\n\nUndertake the research activities described in the Project description of work and as\nrequested by your Supervisor.\n\n•\n\nManage own academic research and administrative activities.

Soc. 2020, 142, 9, 4367–4378\n\nThe role\nThere is an urgent need to redesign polymers used in liquid formulations for improved sustainability.\nThis project tackles the problem throughout the polymer lifecycle – using circular economy principles to\nselect monomers, including from renewable resources, wastes and carbon dioxide. Taking advantage of\nnaturally oxygenated polymers to deliver a suite of materials with properties spanning amphiphiles,\nsurfactants and hydrophiles. By installing degradable linkages into the polymer structures, the end-life\nfates of the polymers will be improved and the potential for complete degradation will be understood.\nThe project has large-scale goals and will involve exciting fundamental chemistry and catalysis. It is also\nguided by applications and expertise in the home and personal care divisions of Unilever. The research\nwill involve developing and applying controlled polymerizations, including application of switchable\npolymerization catalysis, to prepare new block polymers. These materials comprising degradable\nlinkage chemistries, e.g. ester, carbonate and ether blocks, amongst others, and also amenable to\nefficient post-functionalisation reactions. The polymer chemistry and characterization will include\nspectroscopy, GPC, thermal, rheological and surface interactions. The goal is to develop renewably\nsourced and fully degradable polymer surfactants and amphiphiles. Understanding of the polymer\nchemistry and self-assembly of these materials will be key, including through collaboration with the\nteams at Unilever for application development. New theories and insights into degradation chemistry,\nincluding biodegradation, will also be developed.\nYou will join a diverse team of researchers, in the Williams research group and working at Unilever\nfocussed on the important challenge of creating sustainable products. Our broader multi-disciplinary\nteam includes experts in heterogeneous catalysis, automation and robotics, polymer chemistry,\nenvironmental impact analysis, computational modelling and the home care scientific team at Unilever.\nYou should be interested to work as an expert member of a larger-scale team focussed on a major\nchallenge. To support your research, we will provide training in the methods necessary for the\nfundamental research as well as technology translation and application development.

Of these, around 60 hold permanent posts within the Faculty or the colleges,\nand many distinguished philosophers hold posts elsewhere in the University. Oxford thus contains the largest\ngroup of philosophers in the UK, and one of the largest in the world. The Faculty has a vigorous research\nculture, and performed outstandingly in the most recent UK Research Excellence Framework, achieving the\nhighest volume of world-leading (4* ranked) philosophy research of any unit in the country.\nEach year, many distinguished philosophers from around the world visit Oxford to give lectures and\nseminars. There are over fourteen hundred students studying Philosophy at undergraduate level, always in\nMarch 2024\n\n4\n\ncombination with at least one other subject, and around 150 graduate students, about half of whom are\nstudying for the BPhil or the specialist MSt courses in Ancient Philosophy, Philosophy of Physics and Practical\nEthics, and the rest for the DPhil. A list of current Faculty members and their research interests can be found\non the Philosophy Faculty website at http://www.philosophy.ox.ac.uk/faculty-members.\nFurther information about the Faculty can be found on its website at http://www.philosophy.ox.ac.uk.\n\nHumanities Division\nThe Humanities Division is one of four academic divisions in the University of Oxford, bringing together the\nfollowing faculties: Asian and Middle Eastern Studies; Classics; English; History; Linguistics, Philology and\nPhonetics; Medieval and Modern Languages; Music; Philosophy; Theology and Religion; the Ruskin School of\nArt. The Division has over 500 members of academic staff, approximately 4,100 undergraduates (more than a\nthird of the total undergraduate population of the University), 1,000 postgraduate research students and 720\nstudents on postgraduate taught courses.\nThe Division offers world-class teaching and research, backed by the superb resources of the University’s\nlibraries and museums, including the famous Bodleian Libraries, with their 11 million volumes and priceless\nearly book and manuscript collections, and the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology. Such historic\nresources are linked to cutting-edge agendas in research and teaching, with an increasing emphasis on\ninterdisciplinary study. Our faculties are among the largest in the world, enabling Oxford to offer an education\nin Arts and Humanities unparalleled in its range of subjects, from music and fine art to ancient and modern\nlanguages. The Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities (TORCH) is the Division’s vehicle for promoting\ninterdisciplinary collaboration, international networks, and public engagement with research, with a highly\nactive programme of events, fellowships, and research networks. The current TORCH Director is Professor\nChristine Gerrard (Professor of English Literature).\nThe Humanities Division has embarked on a major building project on the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter,\nfollowing the recent announcement of the £175 million gift to create the Stephen A. Schwarzman Centre for\nthe Humanities. The Schwarzman Centre will serve as a dynamic hub dedicated to the Humanities. The building\nwill bring together seven Humanities faculties, the Humanities Divisional Office, a new library and significant\ncultural and public engagement spaces in a space designed to encourage experiential learning and bold\nexperimentation through cross-disciplinary and collaborative study. The Schwarzman Centre’s public and\nperformance spaces will also host the new Cultural Programme, working with outstanding artists, writers and\nthinkers from around the world to create and present world-class arts and culture in collaboration with\nuniversity, local, national and international partners. The Faculty of Philosophy will move to the Schwarzman\nCentre upon the completion of the project.\nFor more information on the Humanities Division please visit: www.ox.ac.uk/divisions/humanities.html\n\nCorpus Christi College\nThere are 39 self-governing and independent colleges at Oxford, giving both Fellows and students the benefits\nof belonging to a small, interdisciplinary community as well as to a large, internationally-renowned institution.\nThe collegiate system fosters a strong sense of community, bringing together leading academics and students\nacross subjects, and from different cultures and countries.\nCorpus Christi College was founded in 1517. It occupies historic buildings and is situated in the centre of\nOxford. The College is governed by its President, Professor Helen Moore, and a Governing Body of 37 Fellows.\nPhilosophy is a strong and prominent subject in Corpus. Other fellows in the subject are: Professor Mark\nWrathall, Tutor in Philosophy, Professor Marion Durand, Tutor in Ancient Philosophy, and Professor Mike\nMartin, Wilde Professor of Mental Philosophy. The College regularly hosts a number of postdoctoral and\n\nMarch 2024\n\n5\n\nresearch fellows in Philosophy. The College has a lively Philosophy Society. Corpus has a strong tradition in\nPhilosophy and in Classics. As a result, the college’s beautiful library is especially well stocked with books in\nthese fields.\nThere are approximately 110 graduate students and 280 undergraduates studying across a wide variety of\ndisciplines. Corpus accepts seven undergraduates each year to read PPE (Philosophy, Politics and Economics),\nthe majority of whom take Philosophy beyond the first year of study. On average, the College accepts a further\ntwelve undergraduates to read subjects involving Philosophy: nine a year for Classics, plus smaller numbers\nfor Philosophy and Psychology and Mathematics and Philosophy. The College typically accepts three or four\ngraduate students a year in Philosophy. Most of these start out by studying either for the BPhil or for the\nMSt in Ancient Philosophy; many then continue into the doctoral programme. The Sekyra and White’s\nProfessor is not expected to give any undergraduate teaching within College but is expected to act as a\nGraduate Adviser to graduate students in Philosophy or cognate subjects.\nFurther information about the College can be found on its website at http://www.ccc.ox.ac.uk.\n\nAbout the University of Oxford\nOxford’s departments and colleges aim to lead the world in research and education for the benefit of society\nboth in the UK and globally. Oxford’s researchers engage with academic, commercial and cultural partners\nacross the world to stimulate high-quality research and enable innovation through a broad range of social,\npolicy and economic impacts.\nOxford’s self-governing community of international scholars includes Professors, Associate Professors, other\ncollege tutors, senior and junior research fellows and a large number University research staff. Research at\nOxford combines disciplinary depth with an increasing focus on inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary\nactivities addressing a rich and diverse range of issues. The current strategic plan can be found at\nhttp://www.ox.ac.uk/about/organisation/strategic-plan-2018-23.\nOxford’s strengths lie both in empowering individuals and teams to address fundamental questions of global\nsignificance, and in providing all staff with a welcoming and inclusive workplace that supports everyone to\ndevelop and do their best work. Recognising that diversity is a great strength, and vital for innovation and\ncreativity, Oxford aspires to build a truly inclusive community which values and respects every individual’s\nunique contribution.\nWhile Oxford has long traditions of scholarship, it is also forward-looking, creative and cutting-edge. Oxford is\none of Europe's most entrepreneurial universities. It consistently has the highest external research income of\nany university in the UK (the most recent figures are available at www.ox.ac.uk/about/organisation/financeand-funding), and regularly creates spinout companies based on academic research generated within and\nowned by the University. Oxford is also recognised as a leading supporter of social enterprise.\nOxford admits undergraduate students with the intellectual potential to benefit fully from the small group\nlearning to which Oxford is deeply committed. Meeting in small groups with their tutor, undergraduates are\nexposed to rigorous scholarly challenge and learn to develop their critical thinking, their ability to articulate\ntheir views with clarity, and their personal and intellectual confidence. They receive a high level of personal\nattention from leading academics.\nOxford has a strong postgraduate student body who are attracted to Oxford by the international standing of\nthe faculty, by the rigorous intellectual training on offer, by the excellent research and laboratory facilities\navailable, and by the resources of the museums and libraries, including one of the world’s greatest libraries,\nthe Bodleian.\nFor more information please visit www.ox.ac.uk/about/organisation.\n\nMarch 2024\n\n6\n\nUniversity Benefits, Terms and Conditions\nStandard duties\nThe Professor shall undertake research, lecture and give instruction in moral philosophy.\nIt is expected that professors will generally participate in the business and affairs of the relevant faculty or\ndepartment.\nSalary\nYour salary will be determined after appropriate consultation.

We are increasingly recognising how these factors can interact to\nprecipitate polycrises. Yet decision-makers have too few tools at their disposal for predicting\nthe emergence of, and managing, these crises. The Oxford Programme for Sustainable\nInfrastructure Systems (OPSIS) has partnered with the Gallagher Research Centre and the\nOxford Martin School to analyse global systemic risks, especially those associated with\ntrade, maritime supply chains and food security, and their interactions with financial and\npolitical risks.\nThis new post will be funded from the Gallagher Research Centre and the Oxford Martin\nProgramme on Systemic Resilience (SysRes). The Research Fellow will conduct\nindependent research to provide new analytical insights into the scale and dynamics of\nsystemic risks, and advance practical solutions.\nThis role within the SysRes programme will focus upon the resilience of global trade,\nexamining the geolocation of supply chains and the infrastructure that enables trade in\ngoods and services: ports, roads, railways, airports, digital communications, electricity. It will\nalso quantify trade flows within these supply chains, in the first instance focussing upon food\ntrade and potential food commodity shocks, but the extending to consider other trade flows.\nThe SysRes programme is focussed upon developing effective responses to enhance the\nresilience of global systems, so the post-holder will explore a variety of different system\ninterventions and will evaluate their effectiveness using newly developed system models.\nThe closely aligned research (as a Gallagher Research Fellow), will focus upon the\npropagation of systemic risks through global shipping networks, and how these networks\nmay evolve in the future due to changing patterns in global trade, including those associated\nwith the green energy transition. The research will examine the changing geographies of\ngeopolitical risk, with a focus upon maritime ‘choke points’.\nYou will work in an interdisciplinary team which includes researchers with expertise in\neconomics, engineering, governance and applied mathematics. The team will work\ninteractively and dynamically, in order to quickly develop important new insights, drawing\nupon extensive research, data and modelling in Oxford University and amongst our\ninternational partners. There is a focus upon publication of results of the highest international\nimportance and with engagement with stakeholders to ensure that new solutions for system\nresilience are taken up in practice.\nThe post-holder will be responsible for development and implementation of methodology for\nanalysis of transport infrastructure, trade and supply chains. This will be based on a\ncombination of data analysis and simulation modelling. The post-holder will be expected to\npublish the model in the peer-reviewed literature and interact closely with a high-profile\ngroup of project partners in disseminating the research.\nThe post-holder will report to Professor Jim Hall, who is Professor of Climate and\nEnvironmental Risks, leader of the Oxford Programme on Sustainable Infrastructure\nSystems (OPSIS) and Co-Investigator of the Oxford Martin Programme on Systemic\nResilience. They will work closely with other members of OPSIS, as well as the SysRes\nteam.\n\n2\n\nProject description\nOPSIS has recently entered into an agreement with the Gallagher Research Centre to\nconduct research to develop practical data, methods and analytical capability to analyse\ndisruption to trade, shipping and supply chains globally. This builds upon very productive\nrecent research to build a global shipping and maritime trade model: the OxMarTrans model.\nOur research with the OxMarTrans model has already yielded four Nature group journal\narticles and has been taken up by the IMF in their PortWatch analytical platform.\nOxMarTrans brings together real-time ship tracking data with several other big global\ndatasets to provide a unique geospatial picture of global shipping trade flows. It is now being\ncoupled with OPSIS’s analysis of multiple breadbasket failures (also published in Nature\nClimate Change) and a new food trade model to simulate the propagation of shocks to\nglobal food supplies due to droughts, conflict and energy crises. In partnership with the\nGallagher Research Centre, we wish to study more deeply how patterns of global trade may\nchange in the future, for example due to increasing geopolitical tension and the phasing out\nof the global trade in fossil fuels, which may be replaced by trade in e-fuels. This analysis will\nbe used to answer critical questions about supply chain risk and support (re)insurers in the\nmarine and energy sectors.\nThe aim of the Oxford Martin School SysRes programme is to identify, appraise and\nadvance solutions to managing systemic shocks in the 21st Century and thus improve the\nwelfare of people and the resilience of the systems and institutions upon which they depend.\nThe SysRes programme will advance practical solutions to manage shocks with the potential\nfor major and prolonged economic disruption, severe human or economic impacts, and\ncontagion. Our main research question asks: where do complex crises fall through the\ncracks in our national and international systems, and how can crises be anticipated and\ntargeted by interventions in order to enhance preparedness and system resilience. Our focus\nis on shocks with a strong climate, social or environmental dimension, including climate,\npoverty and pandemics. Our hypotheses are that many of the solutions to systemic risks\nexist; and it is possible to substantially and cost-effectively strengthen resilience to systemic\nrisks now.\nOur central objective is to deliver a roadmap of local to global solutions, co-created with\ndecision makers and backed by rigorous evidence, alongside a toolkit of solutions templates,\nmetrics, indicators and methods that can help to better integrate such risks at the heart of\ngovernments, international organisations, corporations and financial institutions and drive\naction. Our programme will reveal how to pinpoint and combine interventions that can\nstrengthen systems' capacity to resist shocks and avert the contagion and cascading failures\nthat lead to catastrophe. We will deliver research excellence in innovating theoretical models\nand solutions, and in developing empirical and simulation-based evidence on what works in\nbuilding resilient systems. Within an overarching scenarios framework, four in-depth local\nand systems-level analyses will be complemented by cross-cutting research to identify\npractical scalable solutions, including: policy and institutions (regulation; national resilience\nstrategies; global risk governance), information (risk monitoring, early warning), finance\n(disaster risk finance; new products) and physical interventions on the ground (stocks,\nbackups, shock-responsive social protection). We will deliver scale by co-creating simple\nand useable frameworks, policy recommendations and templated solutions suited for a wide\nrange of risks. Impact is achieved by motivating and guiding action by key decision makers,\nthrough co-production of knowledge; strengthening capacity; and facilitating dialogue.\nTo achieve these objectives, this programme will facilitate strengthened partnerships and\nbuild a unique, multi-disciplinary research grouping and long-lived capability at Oxford. Our\nadditionality and goal is to institute a programme that builds upon, augments and integrates\nresearch and capability across Oxford, with impact at the core of its design, to create a\nunique centre of expertise globally on practical systemic resilience solutions that will grow\n3\n\nbeyond the initial investment. It will bring together a world-renowned interdisciplinary team,\nbridging science, engineering, mathematics, economics, finance, and political economy;\neach contributing a different part of the toolkit required to identify and develop systemic\nresilience solutions.

There are some 240 members of the Law Faculty, of whom almost 100 are in\nestablished University academic posts. The Law Faculty has a distinguished reputation in research and\npublications in Law. The Law Faculty has a distinguished reputation in research and publications in Law,\nand in the Research Excellence Framework 2021, 55% of our submissions were judged to be 4*. Oxford\nLaw has been ranked second in the world in the QS World University rankings and first in Europe for the\nlast four years.\nThere are five specialised centres associated with the Law Faculty: the Centre for Criminology, the\nInstitute of European and Comparative Law, the Centre for Socio-Legal Studies, the Oxford Intellectual\nProperty Research Centre, and the Bonavero Institute of Human Rights.\nUndergraduate teaching within the Faculty\nThere are approximately 220 undergraduates in each year. Most read for the three-year BA in\nJurisprudence and up to 35 of these follow the Law with Law Studies in Europe course over four years,\none year being devoted to study in France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain or Italy. The full range of\nsubjects taught at Undergraduate level may be found on the Faculty website. The undergraduate\nprogrammes, including admissions, are the immediate responsibility of the Faculty’s Undergraduate\nStudies Committee and its Associate Dean for Undergraduate Studies, Access Coordinator, and\nAdmissions Coordinator.\nGraduate teaching within the Faculty\nThe Faculty sustains a major graduate programme and its graduate research school is the largest of any\nlaw school in the English-speaking world. There are currently about 640 graduate students, of whom\napproximately half are enrolled in taught programmes, the largest being the Bachelor of Civil Law (BCL)\nand Magister Juris (MJur) which together account for approximately 150 students. Both are full-time\n6\n\ncourses, as is the Master of Science (MSc) in Law and Finance and the Master of Philosophy (MPhil) in\nCriminology and Criminal Justice, while the MSc in Criminology and Criminal Justice is offered both as a\nfull-time and part-time course. There are then a number of courses which are exclusively part-time – the\nMSc degrees in Intellectual Property, in International Human Rights Law, and in Taxation; and the\nPostgraduate Diploma in Intellectual Property and Practice. Research degrees account for the remainder\nof the graduate students and comprise the Doctor of Philosophy (DPhil) degrees in Law, in Socio-Legal\nStudies, and in Criminology (all offered as both full-time and part-time courses), and the one-year Master\nof Philosophy (MPhil) degrees in Law and in Socio-Legal Research (both full-time courses). All part-time\ncourses are non-residential.\nThe graduate programmes, including graduate admissions, are the immediate responsibility of the\nFaculty’s Graduate Studies Committee and its two Associate Deans (one for research degrees, the other\nfor taught programmes). The graduate cohort provides a base for a productive interaction between\nadvanced study and research - this is something to which the Faculty attaches great importance.\nResearch activity\nThe Faculty has always encouraged excellence in diversity in its research strategy, seeking to achieve the\nhighest quality in the broad range of subjects in which Faculty members pursue their interests. The\nFaculty’s Research Support Fund provides resources for research assistance, conference attendance and\nother research-related activities. The Faculty’s Research Facilitation team support applications for\nexternal research funding, and the Faculty provides support for conferences organised by Faculty\nmembers.\nAcademic staff development\nTeaching proficiency is one of the factors which is taken into account when Associate Professors are\nconsidered for reappointment after the completion of their probationary tenure. The University has\nmade arrangements under which Associate Professors in their initial period of office may take advantage\nof support in developing their teaching. A range of such support is provided by the People and\nOrganisational Development unit, including:\n•\n\nintroductory sessions for new academic staff\n\n•\n\nan advisor for new associate professors\n\n•\n\npeer observation of teaching\n\n•\n\nattendance at learning and teaching seminars\n\n•\n\none-to-one discussion with an educational development advisor or faculty teaching representative\n\n•\n\nparticipation in the University’s postgraduate diploma in learning and teaching\n\n•\n\nself-study resources\n\nFurther information on the Law Faculty can be found at our website.\nStart-up costs\nA start-up grant of £4,000 is available (unless the appointee currently holds an established Oxford\nUniversity academic post). This may be spent at the postholder’s discretion on any purpose connected\nwith their academic work, for example IT equipment, research assistance, travel, conference attendance,\nand/or book purchases. The start-up grant must be spent within three years.\nResearch support\nThe Faculty has grant schemes for IT equipment and research support, to which the postholder will be\neligible to apply after the first year of appointment.\n\n7\n\nThe Bodleian Social Sciences Libraries\nThe Bodleian Social Sciences Libraries work collaboratively to provide subject support, collections, and\nservices to the Social Sciences Division of the University of Oxford, the largest grouping of social science\ndisciplines in the UK. The Bodleian Social Sciences Libraries comprise six interdisciplinary and specialised\nlibraries, namely the Bodleian Social Science Library; Bodleian Law Library; Sainsbury Library at the Saïd\nBusiness School; Tylor Library for Social and Cultural Anthropology; Bodleian Education Library; and the\nBodleian Latin American Centre Library. The Rewley House Library for Continuing Education is also\nmanaged within the Social Sciences Libraries Group. Together, the Bodleian Social Sciences Libraries\ndeliver world-class services and collections to support world-leading social science research, doctoral\ntraining programmes, and some of Oxford’s most widely recognised teaching programmes.\nThe Bodleian Law Library\nThe Bodleian Law Library, accommodated alongside the Faculty centre in the St Cross Building, houses\nover a quarter of a million volumes. It receives copies of all law books published in the United Kingdom,\nand has extensive holdings of overseas legal publications, notably of the Commonwealth, the US, and\nEuropean countries. Oxford is designated as a European Documentation Centre, and materials relevant\nto European law are housed in the Bodleian Law Library. It has one of the most extensive collections of\ndomestic and foreign law databases and e-resources in the UK.\nFurther information about the Bodleian Law Library can be found here.\n\nThe Institute for Ethics in AI\nThe Institute for Ethics in AI was announced in June 2019 and from September 2025 will be housed in\nOxford University’s Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities. The Institute responds to the pressing dual\nneed for disciplinary rigour and multidisciplinary engagement in engaging with the important ethical\nquestions thrown up by the development of Artificial Intelligence. The Institute is rooted in rigorous\nphilosophical inquiry. However, it also reaches out across the University, and beyond, to select the\nquestions to address, to understand technological capabilities and constraints, and to test proposed\nsolutions. In so doing it creates a flexible research platform that can engage successfully with the new and\nprofoundly difficult ethical, metaphysical, and social challenges presented by the form, scale, and scope\nof emerging capabilities in AI. The Institute is also concerned with fostering the policy impact of research\nproduced by its members and is the process of making a major investment in a scheme that will\nsignificantly increase opportunities for policy impact.\nThe Institute’s inaugural Director is Professor John Tasioulas, and it currently includes as Associate\nProfessors Dr Carissa Veliz (Philosophy) and Dr Katya Hertog (Oxford Internet Institute) and as\nPostdoctoral Research Fellows Dr Linda Eggert (Philosophy, who will be an Associated Professor at the\nInstitute from September 2024), Dr Caroline Green (Law), and Dr David Storrs-Fox (Philosophy). In\naddition to the Associate Professorship in Law and Regulation of AI, the Institute expects to make an\nAssociate Professorship appointment this year in Computer Science and Philosophy, as well as a series of\npostdoctoral appointments. The Institute also benefits from the involvement of its Distinguished Senior\nScientist, Sir Nigel Shadbolt, its Head of Technical Engagement, Professor Vince Conitzer, and its Head of\nEducation and Outreach, Professor Peter Millican, as well as an array of research associates at different\nlevels of seniority, all of whom contribute to a vibrant cross-disciplinary community.\nThe Institute is administratively located in the Faculty of Philosophy and builds upon the University’s\nworld-class capabilities in the Humanities to lead the study of the ethical implications of artificial\nintelligence and other new computing technologies. Cross-disciplinary collaboration is fundamental to\nthe initiative, and the Institute draws upon the entire educational and research endeavour of Oxford\n8\n\nUniversity – including the Social Sciences, Medical Sciences, Mathematical, Physical & Life Sciences – to\ndeliver innovative, cutting-edge scholarship. It also develops significant opportunities for collaboration\non these important issues with other distinguished research universities, and public- and private-sector\ninstitutions around the world. Its diverse array of activities include a popular weekly lunchtime research\nseminar, regular colloquiums that are open to the public, a fortnightly work-in-progress seminar, an\nannual lecture, an Oxford-Berlin Early Career colloquium, among others.\nThe Institute has schemes to support research activity, including an annual research allowance (currently\n£2,000). For more information, see the Institute’s website.\n\nSocial Sciences Division\nThe University’s academic departments and faculties are organised into four large groups known as\nAcademic Divisions (Social Sciences, Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences (MPLS), Medical Sciences,\nand Humanities). The divisions are responsible for academic strategy and operational planning, for\noversight of the teaching and research of their constituent departments and faculties, and for personnel\nand resource management. The social sciences at Oxford are distinctive for both their depth and breadth,\nwith over 1,100 academic and research staff working across fifteen departments, faculties, and schools.\nThe Head of the Social Sciences Division is Professor Timothy Power.\nThe Division is a world-leading centre of research and education in the social sciences. The Times Higher\nEducation (THE) University Rankings returned the University of Oxford to the number one spot in the\nworld for Social Sciences in 2022. We have placed first in three of the last five years (2018, 2019 and\n2022).\nMore than 800 researchers were returned to Main Panel C (Social Sciences) for REF 2021 across a diverse\nrange of subject area ‘units of assessment’ – from geography and business to archaeology and law. Over\n55% of the research submitted from the Division was judged to be world-leading (4*, the highest score\navailable). More than two-thirds (69%) of the research’s impact was also recognised as world-leading\n(4*). Research from across the Division was also submitted to subject areas across Panels A (Medicine,\nhealth and life sciences), B (Physical sciences, engineering and mathematics), and D (Arts and\nHumanities), highlighting the enormous breadth and diversity of research expertise across the Division.\nOur academic and research staff and students are international thought leaders, generating new\nevidence, insights, and policy tools with which to address some of the major global challenges facing\nhumanity, such as sustainable resource management, poverty and forced migration, effective\ngovernance, and justice. Particular research highlights in recent years have included COVID-19 and\nClimate Change, with AI also being a developing theme. As well as active interdisciplinary links with\nresearchers in other divisions at Oxford, we engage and collaborate extensively with other universities\nand a wide range of governmental and non-governmental practitioner communities such as law,\nbusiness, public health and welfare, international development, and education around the world. The\nDivision 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\nmillion a year.\nAs part of our commitment to equality of opportunity, eleven of our departments have achieved Bronze\nawards under the Athena Swan Charter (a UK accreditation scheme recognising organisations’\ncommitment to equality and diversity, particularly in gender). Our School of Geography and the\nEnvironment holds an Athena Swan Silver award. In February 2023, for the first time, the University as a\nwhole was awarded an institutional Athena Swan Silver award, acknowledging the progress that has been\nmade in addressing a number of gender gaps across the University over the last five years.\nThe Division delivers an exceptional range of high-quality educational programmes all underpinned by\nthe innovative research being undertaken by our academics. The student body is made up of over 2,000\n9\n\nundergraduate students, nearly 3,000 students studying postgraduate taught programmes, and 1,200\npostgraduate research students. The programmes we offer are wide-ranging, often interdisciplinary and\ninclude professionally-oriented provision in areas such as business, law, and education. The Division is\nhome to several of Oxford’s most widely recognised teaching programmes, such as Philosophy, Politics\nand Economics (PPE) at undergraduate level; and at the Master’s level programmes such as the Bachelor\nin Civil Law (BCL), Environmental Change and Management, International Relations, and Social Data\nScience.\nFor more information, please visit our website.\n\nReuben College\nThere are 39 self-governing and independent colleges at Oxford, giving both academic staff and students\nthe 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\nleading academics and students across subjects, and from different cultures and countries.\nThe founding of Reuben College in 2019, supported by a generous benefaction from the Reuben\nFoundation of £71 million (including £15 million for graduate scholarships), has offered an exciting\nopportunity to bring together researchers and postgraduate students focused on exploring some of the\nmost important questions of the 21st century. Reuben College provides an environment that stimulates\nand facilitates interdisciplinary research, while emphasising the qualities of innovation, leadership and\nentrepreneurship. It supports a community of Fellows and graduates who embrace opportunities to\ninteract with researchers beyond the boundaries of their own disciplines and to engage with colleagues\nbeyond the realm of academia.\nTo promote the ethos and practice of interdisciplinary interaction, there is an initial focus on four research\nclusters, whose themes have been chosen for their wide reach across the University, their strongly\ninterdisciplinary nature, Oxford’s existing and potential strengths in these areas, and their innovation and\nentrepreneurship potential. The initial clusters focus on the topics of (a) Artificial Intelligence & Machine\nLearning, (b) Environmental Change, (c) Cellular Life, and (d) Ethics & Values. These clusters have natural\nsynergies, enabling cross-cutting discussions and research collaborations to emerge. Each of the four\nareas is interpreted as broadly as possible, as the College is keen to attract researchers from all four of\nthe University’s Academic Divisions. The four themes are complemented by a number of strategic stands,\nnotably in Innovation and Entrepreneurship and in Public Engagement in Research.\nAs a new college, we are building a community of people and practice that recognises the importance of\nequality and diversity in our community and in our intellectual endeavours. All Fellows are expected to\nsubscribe proactively to the college ethos and to commit to developing both its intellectual and outreach\nactivities. The College Fellows together foster a culture of interdisciplinary exchange through regular\ncollege events, such as seminars, workshops and reading groups.\nFor more information please visit the College’s website.\n\n10\n\nAbout the University of Oxford\nOxford’s departments and colleges aim to lead the world in research and education for the benefit of\nsociety both in the UK and globally.

However, a\nFellowship at the College does not itself constitute employment and does not confer any rights to\nemployment with the University. Fellows are required to inform the President and Senior Tutor of the\nCollege if they are given notice under their University contract of employment: any Fellowship will expire\nautomatically on the same dates as the expiry of a contract of employment with the University.\nThe postholder will receive the following College benefits:\n•\n\nAn 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\nexample, conferences, events, or research costs).\n\n•\n\nSubsidised dining and luncheon rights (in accordance with the facilities available at the time).\n\n•\n\nThe right to bring guests to college meals, subject to capacity, and at their own costs.\n\n•\n\nMembership of the Common Room.\n\nBenefits will continue as normal during any period of family leave, or sickness absence but will be\nsuspended for the period of any research or other leave (excepting the above) during which the\npostholder elects not to fulfil their college duties. All decisions in these regards will be taken by the\nPresident in consultation with the Senior Tutor, with a view to promoting fairness and consistency of\ntreatment amongst the Fellows.\nAs a Fellow by Special Election, the postholder will be a member of the College’s Governing Body and is\nrequired to hold the Fellowship under the terms of the College Statutes and By-laws in force. All Fellows\nare thus bound by the relevant policies and procedures of the College as published on the College’s\nwebsite and in internal directories and the College has the right to terminate any Fellowship with\nimmediate effect if these are not adhered to.\nFellows may not hold a Governing Body Fellowship at any other college concurrently with their Fellowship\nat the College. However, since the College is at present a Society of the University, it does not hold\ncharitable status in its own right, and so Reuben College Fellows are not charitable trustees of the College.\n\nOffer of employment\nApplications for this post will be considered by a Selection Committee containing representatives from\nthe Faculty of Law, the Institute for Ethics in AI and Reuben College. The Selection Committee is\nresponsible for conducting all aspects of the recruitment and selection process; it does not, however,\nhave the authority to make the final decision as to who should be appointed. The final decision will be\nmade by the Social Sciences Divisional Board and the Governing Body of Reuben College on the basis of\na recommendation made by the Selection Committee. No offer of appointment will be valid, therefore,\nuntil and unless the recommendation has been approved by both the Divisional Board and the Governing\nBody, and a formal contractual offer has been made.\n\n14\n\n"^^ ; dc:format "application/pdf" ; dcterms:title "Associate Professorship of Law and Regulation of AI - further particulars.pdf" . a gr:UnitPriceSpecification ; rdfs:label "Associate Professor (Non-Tf): £52,815 – £70,918 per annum" ; gr:validThrough "2024-04-09T12:00:00+01:00"^^ . a foaf:Agent ; v:email ; foaf:name "Dr Patrick Thomson" . a foaf:Document ; dc:format "application/msword" ; dcterms:title "171435 JD-SC.doc" . a gr:UnitPriceSpecification ; rdfs:label "Standard Grade 7: £36,024 - £44,263 per annum, with a discretionary range to £48,350 per annum" ; gr:validThrough "2024-04-05T12:00:00+01:00"^^ . a foaf:Agent ; v:email ; foaf:name "HR Team" . a foaf:Document ; rdf:value "_________________________________________________________________________\n\nJob Description and Selection Criteria\nJob title\n\nResearch Assistant in Software Development for Neutrino Physics\n\nDivision\n\nMathematical Physical and Life Sciences\n\nDepartment\n\nPhysics\n\nLocation\n\nDenys Wilkinson Building\n\nGrade and salary\n\nGrade 7: £36,024- £44,263pa\n\nHours\n\nFull time\n\nContract type\n\nFixed-term (until 30th September 2025) externally-funded\n\nReporting to\n\nProfessor Morgan Wascko\n\n169559\n\n169559\n\nAdditional\ninformation\n\nClosing date – midday (UK time) on 4 April 2024\n\nResearch topic\n\nNeutrino Physics\n\nPrincipal Investigator /\nsupervisor\n\nGiles Barr, Morgan Wascko, Kirsty Duffy\n\nProject team\n\nAccelerator Neutrino Group\n\nProject web site\n\nhttps://www.physics.ox.ac.uk/research/group/acceleratorneutrinos/dune\n\nFunding partner\n\nThe funds supporting this research project are provided by STFC\n\nRecent publications\n\nhttps://inspirehep.net/experiments/1346343\n\nThe role\nThe Accelerator Neutrino Group at the University of Oxford seeks a committed and enthusiastic\npostdoctoral researcher to take a leading role in development of a data acquisitions system for\nthe upcoming DUNE experiment.\nThe Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, DUNE, is a future flagship neutrino oscillation\nexperiment to be hosted at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab).

Our researchers study law as a historical and culturally specific mode of\nsocial organisation that takes a variety of forms within and across societies. Our expert staff bring\ntogether a wide variety of disciplinary expertise including law, sociology, anthropology, politics,\ninternational relations, human rights, economics, geography and art history to examine the interface of\nlaw and society. Staff at the Centre have area expertise in Eastern Europe, Africa, Australia, Asia and the\nUS. Much of our work draws on expertise in interviewing, participant observation, oral history, focus\ngroups, surveys, discourse analysis and statistical analysis of data.\nOur core staff of experienced Professors, Associate Professors and Post-doctoral fellows are\ncomplemented by over 40 research students who form the largest collection of socio-legal students in\none academic unit in the UK. In the informal and relaxed atmosphere of the Centre we teach and\nsupervise graduate research students at both Master’s and doctoral level. Our students are international\nin their backgrounds and outlook as well as being diverse in their academic qualifications. They bring\nexciting and fresh ideas to our research clusters and their commitment and energy contribute\nsubstantially to our success. The Centre is also an ideal base for post-doctoral scholars who wish to\nreceive specialist mentoring, develop their projects, gain academic experience, and launch their careers.\nMembers of our community conduct research into the socio-legal dynamics of some of the most pressing\npolitical questions of the day, such as human rights, technologies and social media; comparative legal\n\ncultures; access to justice; governance of environmental resources; ethical business regulation; the\nmigration crisis and cultural expertise; legal ideology and religion; and the management of counter\nterrorism cases in the courts. The Centre has a select number of research associates and a lively visitors’\nprogramme.\n\nFaculty of Law\nAbout the Faculty\nThe Faculty of Law is one of the largest in the United Kingdom, and is the largest unit in the Social Sciences\nDivision of the University. There are some 240 members of the Law Faculty, of whom almost 100 are in\nestablished University academic posts. The Law Faculty has a distinguished reputation in research and\npublications in Law, and in the Research Excellence Framework 2021, 55% of its submissions were judged\nto be 4*. Oxford Law has been ranked second in the world in the QS World University rankings, and first\nin Europe for the last four years.\nThere are five specialised centres associated with the Law Faculty: the Centre for Criminology, the\nInstitute of European and Comparative Law, the Centre for Socio-Legal Studies, the Oxford Intellectual\nProperty Research Centre, and the Bonavero Institute of Human Rights.\nUndergraduate teaching within the Faculty\nThere are approximately 220 undergraduates in each year. While most read for the three-year BA in\nJurisprudence, up to 35 follow the Law with Law Studies in Europe course over four years, one year being\ndevoted to study in France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, or Italy. The full range of subjects taught\nat Undergraduate level may be found on the Faculty website at www.law.ox.ac.uk/admissions/undergraduate. The undergraduate programmes, including admissions, are the immediate responsibility of the\nFaculty’s Undergraduate Studies Committee and its Associate Dean for Undergraduate Studies and Outreach.\nGraduate teaching within the Faculty\nThe Faculty sustains a major graduate programme and its graduate research school is the largest of any\nlaw school in the English-speaking world. There are currently about 640 graduate students, of whom\napproximately half are enrolled in taught programmes, the largest being the Bachelor of Civil Law (BCL)\nand Magister Juris (MJur) which account for around 150 students combined. Both are full-time courses,\nas is the Master of Science (MSc) in Law and Finance and the Master of Philosophy (MPhil) in Criminology\nand Criminal Justice, while the MSc in Criminology and Criminal Justice is offered both as a full-time and\npart-time course. There are then a number of courses which are exclusively part-time – the MSc degrees\nin Intellectual Property, in International Human Rights Law, and in Taxation, and the Postgraduate Diploma in Intellectual Property and Practice. Research degrees account for the remainder of the students\nand comprise the Doctor of Philosophy (DPhil) degrees in Law, in Socio-Legal Studies, and in Criminology\n(all offered as full-time and part-time courses), and the one-year Master of Philosophy (MPhil) degrees\nin Law and in Socio-Legal Research (both full-time courses). All part-time courses are non-residential.\nThe graduate programmes, including graduate admissions, are the immediate responsibility of the Faculty’s Graduate Studies Committee and its two Associate Deans (one for research degrees, the other for\ntaught programmes). The graduate cohort provides a base for a productive interaction between advanced study and research; this is something to which the Faculty attaches great importance.\nResearch activity\nThe Faculty has always encouraged excellence and diversity in its research strategy, seeking to achieve\nthe highest quality in the broad range of subjects in which Faculty members pursue their interests. The\nFaculty’s Research Support Fund provides resources for research assistance, conference attendance, and\nother research-related activities. The Faculty’s Research Support team assist with applications for external research funding.\n\nAcademic staff development\nTeaching proficiency is one of the factors which is taken into account when Associate Professors are considered for reappointment after the completion of their probationary tenure. The University has made\narrangements under which Associate Professors in their initial period of office may take advantage of\nsupport in developing their teaching. A range of such support is provided by the Oxford Learning Institute\n(www.learning.ox.ac.uk), including:\n•\n•\n•\n•\n•\n•\n•\n\nintroductory sessions for new academic staff\nan advisor for new Associate Professors\npeer observation of teaching\nattendance at learning and teaching seminars\none-to-one discussion with an educational development adviser or faculty teaching representative\nparticipation in the University’s postgraduate diploma in learning and teaching\nself-study resources\n\nStart-up costs\nA start-up grant of £4,000 is available (unless the appointee currently holds an established Oxford\nUniversity academic post). This may be spent at the postholder’s discretion on any purpose connected\nwith their academic work, for example IT equipment, research assistance, travel, conference attendance,\nand/or book purchases. The start-up grant must be spent within three years.\nResearch support\nThe Faculty has grant schemes for IT equipment and research support, to which the postholder will be\neligible to apply after the first year of appointment.\nFurther information on the Law Faculty can be found at www.law.ox.ac.uk.\nThe Bodleian Social Sciences Libraries\nThe Bodleian Social Sciences Libraries work collaboratively to provide subject support, collections, and\nservices to the Social Sciences Division of the University of Oxford, the largest grouping of social science\ndisciplines in the UK. The Bodleian Social Sciences Libraries comprise six interdisciplinary and specialised\nlibraries, namely the Bodleian Social Science Library; Bodleian Law Library; Sainsbury Library at the Saïd\nBusiness School; Tylor Library for Social and Cultural Anthropology; Bodleian Education Library; and the\nBodleian Latin American Centre Library. The Rewley House Library for Continuing Education is also managed within the Social Sciences Libraries Group. Together, the Bodleian Social Sciences Libraries deliver\nworld-class services and collections to support world-leading social science research, doctoral training\nprogrammes, and some of Oxford’s most widely recognised teaching programmes.\nThe Bodleian Law Library\nThe Bodleian Law Library, accommodated alongside the Faculty centre in the St Cross Building, houses\nover a quarter of a million volumes. It receives copies of all law books published in the United Kingdom,\nand has extensive holdings of overseas legal publications, notably of the Commonwealth, the US, and\nEuropean countries. Oxford is designated as a European Documentation Centre, and materials relevant\nto European law are housed in the Bodleian Law Library. It has one of the most extensive collections of\ndomestic and foreign law databases and e-resources in the UK.\nFurther information about the Bodleian Law Library can be found at www.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/law.\n\nSocial Sciences Division\nThe University’s academic departments and faculties are organised into four large groups known as\nAcademic Divisions (Social Sciences, Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences (MPLS), Medical Sciences,\n\nand Humanities). The divisions are responsible for academic strategy and operational planning, for\noversight of the teaching and research of their constituent departments and faculties, and for personnel\nand resource management. The social sciences at Oxford are distinctive for both their depth and breadth,\nwith over 1,100 academic and research staff working across fifteen departments, faculties, and schools.\nThe Head of the Social Sciences Division is Professor Timothy Power.\nThe Division is a world-leading centre of research and education in the social sciences. The Times Higher\nEducation (THE) University Rankings returned the University of Oxford to the number one spot in the\nworld for Social Sciences in 2022. We have placed first in three of the last five years (2018, 2019, and\n2022).\nMore than 800 researchers were returned to Main Panel C (Social Sciences) for REF 2021 across a diverse\nrange of subject area ‘units of assessment’ – from geography and business to archaeology and law. Over\n55% of the research submitted from the Division was judged to be world-leading (4*, the highest score\navailable). More than two-thirds (69%) of the research’s impact was also recognised as world-leading\n(4*). Research from across the Division was also submitted to subject areas across Panels A (Medicine,\nhealth 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.\nOur academic and research staff and students are international thought leaders, generating new\nevidence, insights, and policy tools with which to address some of the major global challenges facing\nhumanity, such as sustainable resource management, poverty and forced migration, effective\ngovernance, and justice. Particular research highlights in recent years have included COVID-19\n(https://www.socsci.ox.ac.uk/covid-19) and Climate Change (https://www.socsci.ox.ac.uk/climatechange-research-impact). As well as active interdisciplinary links with researchers in other divisions at\nOxford, we engage and collaborate extensively with other universities and a wide range of governmental\nand non-governmental practitioner communities such as law, business, public health and welfare,\ninternational development, and education around the world. The Division has an extensive portfolio of\nexternal funders, partners and supporters, with competitively-awarded external research income\nexceeding £50 million per year and philanthropic income over £25 million a year.\nAs part of our commitment to equality of opportunity, eleven of our departments have achieved Bronze\nawards under the Athena Swan Charter (a UK accreditation scheme recognising organisations’\ncommitment to equality and diversity, particularly in gender). Our School of Geography and the\nEnvironment holds an Athena Swan Silver award. In February 2023, for the first time, the University as a\nwhole was awarded an institutional Athena Swan Silver award, acknowledging the progress that has been\nmade in addressing a number of gender gaps across the University over the last five years.\nThe Division delivers an exceptional range of high-quality educational programmes all underpinned by\nthe innovative research being undertaken by our academics. The student body is made up of over 2,000\nundergraduate students, nearly 3,000 students studying postgraduate taught programmes, and 1,200\npostgraduate research students. The programmes we offer are wide-ranging, often interdisciplinary and\ninclude professionally-oriented provision in areas such as business, law, and education. The Division is\nhome to several of Oxford’s most widely recognised teaching programmes, such as Philosophy, Politics\nand Economics (PPE) at undergraduate level; and at the Master’s level programmes such as the Bachelor\nin Civil Law (BCL), Environmental Change and Management, International Relations, and Social Data\nScience.\nFor more information, please visit: www.socsci.ox.ac.uk.\n\nExeter College\nAt just over seven hundred years old, Exeter College is the fourth oldest of the 42 constituent Colleges\nand Halls of the University of Oxford. Its Governing Body is made up of the Rector and 59 Fellows, all of\n\nwhom hold senior academic or administrative posts in the collegiate University. The College has an undergraduate body of about 340, in addition to whom there are more than 200 postgraduate students and\nup to 30 undergraduate students visiting for a year from other top institutions. Exeter is a lively interdisciplinary community: its Fellows and students study and research across a wide array of subjects in the\nsocial sciences, humanities, medicine, and the natural sciences.\nThe College was founded in in the early fourteenth century by Walter de Stapeldon, government administrator and Bishop of Exeter. William Petre, a senior government administrator, provided a further substantial endowment in the 1560s and is recognised as the second founder of the College. The historic\ncentre of the College is located on the corner of Broad Street and Turl Street in the heart of the city, and\nin early 2017 we opened an ambitious third quadrangle (the ‘Cohen Quadrangle’) in Walton Street, just\na few minutes’ walk from the Turl Street. The Cohen Quadrangle includes seminar rooms, residential facilities, and study and social space.\nExeter’s working environment is very congenial, and the College has a reputation for being small and\nfriendly, as well as for maintaining consistently high academic standards. the strategic aims are to support\nexcellence in the achievement of all its members, actively to seek to enhance diversity (in many forms)\nwithin the whole membership of the College, to steward the resources of the College to ensure sustainability, and to enhance the inclusiveness of our intellectually stimulating academic community. We seek\nto enhance our international connections in teaching and research. Within the Fellowship, we seek to\nfoster a lively and creative community of world-class academics, which remains self-governing and has\nthe resources to ensure that busy and creative academics benefit from their membership of the College.\nLaw and related subjects at Exeter College\nExeter has a strong tradition in law and the social sciences. The College’s community of Law students is\nthriving. Exeter has 20 on-course law undergraduates (arising from a quota of six per year, with some\ntaking the four-year course in Law with Law Studies in Europe); within this cohort are beneficiaries of the\nCollege’s very strong commitment to widening participation and outreach. The College admits several\ngraduate students in Law each year. Currently, we have: 14 reading for the DPhils in the Faculty; 6 for\nthe BCL and 2 for the MJur; 5 for the MPhil in Law; 4 for MSc degrees in the Faculty. Exeter has 5 students\ncurrently reading for the DPhil in Socio-Legal Studies. The College has strong cohorts of students studying\ntopics related to AI and the digital world at the Oxford Institute and elsewhere in the University.\nExeter has two Associate Professors with Tutorial Fellowships in Law: Professor Jonathan Herring and\nProfessor Rachel Taylor. Their research includes work on areas of trans-national importance: family relationships, dementia, medico-legal ethics (Professor Herring); families, child rights, and migration (Professor Taylor). The College is also home to an Associate Professor (non-Tutorial Fellowship) in Law &\nPublic Policy, in conjunction with the Blavatnik School (currently vacant following the elevation of Professor Dapo Akande to the Chichele Professorship of Public International Law). In addition, we have a\nCareer Development Fellow, Dr Heloise Robinson, who specialises in medical law and ethics.\nOutside of Law, Exeter is already home to a vibrant cluster of academics and students concerned with\nthe study of the digital world. Professors/Associate Professors at Exeter who are engaged with digital\ntechnologies include: Professor Jared Tanner (Professor of the Mathematics of Information); Professor\nMike Osborne (Dyson Professor in Machine Learning); Professor Agni Orfanoudaki (Associate Professor\nof Operations Management); Professor Kejia Hu (Associate Professor of Management Science); Professor\nMichael Bronstein (DeepMind Statutory Professor of Artificial Intelligence); and Professor Chris Russell\n(Associate Professor of AI, Government, & Policy).\nResearch, teaching and other duties\n\nThe successful candidate will have no formal teaching requirements for Exeter, but our hope is that they\nwill nonetheless wish fully and actively to participate in the fostering of the scholarly community within\nthe College. As part of that community the Fellow will participate in the admission to the College of students who have been accepted to study for postgraduate degrees in Law and related fields, and will act\nas a College Adviser (a pastoral and mentoring role) to these students.\n\nAbout the University of Oxford\nOxford’s departments and colleges aim to lead the world in research and education for the benefit of\nsociety both in the UK and globally.

It\nbrings together seven units: the African Studies Centre, the Latin American Centre (including the Brazilian\nStudies Programme), the Nissan Institute of Japanese Studies, the Contemporary China Studies Programme,\nRussian and East European Studies, the Contemporary South Asia Studies Programme and the Middle East\nProgramme. The administration of the School is based at 12 Bevington Road, with colleagues also providing\nadministrative support across a number of locations in which the School’s constituent units are based\n(including the Nissan Institute of Japanese Studies at St Antony’s College and the University of Oxford China\nCentre at St Hugh’s College).\nThe School is devoted to research and graduate teaching in academic disciplines which attempt to understand\nthe complexity and the interrelatedness of society through anthropology, economics, politics, history,\nsociology and culture. Its teaching and research seek to take into account both the insights provided by the\nseparate disciplines and the contextualisation provided by in-depth knowledge of specific regions and\ncountries. Interdisciplinary collaboration to study specific social processes is encouraged, and a distinctive\nPage 4 of 7\n\nfeature of the School is the number of its academic staff who hold joint appointments in the School and a\ndisciplinary department in the Social Sciences or Humanities Divisions. In the most recent national research\nquality assessment exercise (REF2021), Area Studies at Oxford – comprising staff in the School and the Faculty\nof Asian and Middle Eastern Studies in the Humanities Division - was judged to account for more world-leading\n(4*) research than any other Area Studies department in the UK.\nThe School admits around 140 graduate students a year on Masters and DPhil programmes, across the African\nStudies Centre, Latin American Centre, the Nissan Institute of Japanese Studies, Russian and East European\nStudies, Contemporary South Asia, Contemporary Chinese Studies, Middle East Studies, and the comparative\nMaster’s programme in Global and Area Studies. Additionally, the School’s academic staff supervise doctoral\nstudents and teach on a range of undergraduate programmes in other parts of the University.\nFurther information about the OSGA, its component units, its staff, courses and research activities can be\nfound on its website at www.area-studies.ox.ac.uk\nThe School holds a Bronze Athena Swan Award to recognise the advancement of gender equality,\nrepresentation and progression.\n\nThe Social Sciences Division\nThe University’s academic departments and faculties are organised into four large groups known as\nAcademic Divisions (Social Sciences, Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences (MPLS), Medical Sciences,\nand Humanities). The divisions are responsible for academic strategy and operational planning, oversight\nof the teaching and research of their constituent departments and faculties, and for personnel and\nresource management. The social sciences at Oxford are distinctive for both their depth and breadth,\nwith over 1,100 academic and research staff working across fifteen departments, faculties and schools.\nThe Head of the Social Sciences Division is Professor Timothy Power.\nThe Division is a world-leading centre of research and education in the social sciences. The Times Higher\nEducation (THE) University Rankings returned the University of Oxford to the number one spot in the\nworld for Social Sciences in 2022. We have placed first in three of the last five years (2018, 2019 and\n2022).\nMore than 800 researchers were returned to Main Panel C (Social Sciences) for REF 2021 across a diverse\nrange of subject area ‘units of assessment’ – from geography and business to archaeology and law.

Cognitive deficits are a core feature of the early phases of psychosis. All licensed\npharmacological treatments for psychosis act by blocking dopaminergic neurotransmission and do not improve\nthese deficits. Recently the drug xanomeline-trospium which acts via non-dopaminergic mechanisms has been\nshown be the first effective non dopaminergic treatment for psychotic symptoms. Its effects on cognition, however,\nare unclear. The FOCUS trial will investigate the effects of xanomeline-trospium compared to standard dopamine\nblocking therapies on cognitive function in individuals with early psychosis. In addition, the integration of\ncomprehensive neuroimaging batteries will provide the opportunity for insights regarding both the pathophysiology\nof psychosis, and mechanisms of treatment.\nIn addition to being central to the success of the FOCUS clinical trial the post holder will have the opportunity to\ndevelop their own research with a focus on cognitive function and treatments for psychosis. The post holder will\nreport to Dr Rob McCutcheon and join a group of researchers with wide-ranging expertise, and a belief there is an\nopportunity to make fundamental advances in the treatment of psychotic disorders, thereby improving the\noutcomes for individuals with psychosis. Depending on their interests and abilities, the post holder will have the\nopportunity to undertake analyses of neuroimaging measures and cognitive outcomes, the development of clinical\nservices, the conducting of meta-analyses, and the analysis of pre-acquired clinical trial data.

We have built a new multi-disciplinary research program across the translational space\ncomprising the OPDC Discovery Cohort as one of the best-characterised clinical PD cohorts in the world, a\nnew program in Parkinson's fMRI and laboratory biomarkers, a core expertise in molecular genetics and\nmolecular neuropathology, the largest induced pluripotent stem-cell (iPSC) research program in PD in\nEurope, and a world-leading research hub for the generation and deep-phenotyping of transgenic rodent\nmodels of PD.\nThe current phase of our translational research is aimed at changing clinical practice. Our new program now\ntargets the molecular pathways to Parkinson's exploiting new tools (i) to stratify the progression of PD; (ii)\nto predict the onset of PD; (iii) to identify potential targets through generating mechanism-based rationale;\nand (iv) to validate new disease-modifying treatments to prevent the development of PD.\nFor more information please visit: www.dpag.ox.ac.uk/opdc\n\nLaboratory of Molecular Neurodegeneration\n\nThe Laboratory of Molecular Neurodegeneration led by Professor Wade-Martins at the Department of\nPhysiology, Anatomy and Genetics (DPAG) studies the molecular mechanisms of a range of human\nneurological diseases with the ultimate aim of developing novel therapies.

Internationally-recognised\nscientists with strengths in stem cell models, genetics and genomics, transgenic rodent models, the structure\nand function of brain cells and circuits affected in PD, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and analysis of\nprotein biomarkers, are working closely with experts in epidemiology and clinical neurology to better\nunderstand the causes of PD.\nThe first phase of our translational program focused on understanding the molecular pathways to\nParkinson's. We have built a new multi-disciplinary research program across the translational space\ncomprising the OPDC Discovery Cohort as one of the best-characterised clinical PD cohorts in the world, a\nnew program in Parkinson's fMRI and laboratory biomarkers, a core expertise in molecular genetics and\nmolecular neuropathology, the largest induced pluripotent stem-cell (iPSC) research program in PD in\nEurope, and a world-leading research hub for the generation and deep-phenotyping of transgenic rodent\nmodels of PD.\nThe current phase of our translational research is aimed at changing clinical practice. Our new program now\ntargets the molecular pathways to Parkinson's exploiting new tools (i) to stratify the progression of PD; (ii)\nto predict the onset of PD; (iii) to identify potential targets through generating mechanism-based rationale;\nand (iv) to validate new disease-modifying treatments to prevent the development of PD.\nFor more information please visit: www.dpag.ox.ac.uk/opdc\n\nLaboratory of Molecular Neurodegeneration\n\nThe Laboratory of Molecular Neurodegeneration led by Professor Wade-Martins at the Department of\nPhysiology, Anatomy and Genetics (DPAG) studies the molecular mechanisms of a range of human\nneurological diseases with the ultimate aim of developing novel therapies. The Laboratory plays a leading\nrole in the OPDC integrating studies in post-mortem human brain tissue, transgenic and knock-out mouse\nand rat models, and iPSC-derived neuronal models of Parkinson's disease.\nOur work is highly interdisciplinary in nature and our research program has thrived through many\ncollaborations within DPAG and in the South Park Road science area, and through interaction with scientific\nand clinical colleagues across Oxford.\nOur laboratory is part of the Kavli Institute for Nanoscience Discovery, an exciting new interdisciplinary\nresearch building at the University of Oxford facilitating interactive collaborative opportunities across\ncellular, molecular and physical sciences.\nFor further information on our work, see: https://www.dpag.ox.ac.uk/research/wade-martins-group\n\nAbout the University of Oxford\nOxford’s departments and colleges aim to lead the world in research and education for the benefit of society\nboth in the UK and globally.

The School is internationally recognized for the quality of its teaching,\nresearch and wider engagement across the breadth of human and physical geography and\nenvironmental studies.\nBased within the Social Sciences Division, the School incorporates three affiliated research\ncentres: the Environmental Change Institute (ECI), the Smith School of Enterprise and\nEnvironment (SSEE), and the Transport Studies Unit (TSU). The School is based within the\nOxford University Centre for the Environment (OUCE) building – which has benefited from\nextensive refurbishment in recent years - in the heart of Oxford’s Science Area. The School’s\nphysical location enables us to easily connect with many of the academic departments and\n4\n\norganisations with whom we collaborate. The School has also been an active participant in\nfostering the Oxford University Networks for the Environment (ONE), which link up over 1000\nindividuals within the University on the themes of Biodiversity, Climate, Energy, Food and\nWater.\nThe School of Geography and the Environment is an energetic and multi-dimensional\nhub of geographical and environmental research, teaching and wider engagement. The\nSchool’s ambition is to play a leading role in shaping the international research agenda\nthrough ‘world-class’ research and teaching across the breadth of the discipline; employing\nthe very best researchers and attracting excellent national and international students;\nencouraging national, international and interdisciplinary research collaborations; and\nengaging with others through policy, partnerships, business and social enterprise.

The TSU seeks to maintain and enhance this reputation for excellence\nin research and to extend it into teaching, leadership courses and international collaborative\nprogrammes of education and learning. To this end, it aims to be at the leading edge in\nnational and international transport developments. Particular emphasis is placed on\nunderstanding the social, economic and environmental implications of transport and mobility\nover both time and space. The TSU's work ranges in geographic scale from the local to the\nglobal, and the full spectrum of quantitative and qualitative research techniques is deployed.\nThe research conducted at the TSU addresses transport and mobility from different thematic\nand methodological perspectives. Four broad themes can be identified: Energy and\nEnvironment; Governance and Public Policy; Culture and Society; and Health and\nWellbeing. Most TSU staff are full-time researchers working on specific externally funded\nprojects within these research themes. In addition to the core staff, it also hosts a number of\nacademic visitors working more independently on cross-cutting issues. There is also an\nactive group of international DPhil students working with individual staff. The TSU often\nworks directly with international agencies, transport policymakers, local authorities,\nbusinesses and industry, employers, non-governmental organisations, and localities.\nFor more information on the TSU please visit: http://www.tsu.ox.ac.uk\n\n5\n\nFormed in 1991 through benefaction, the Environmental Change Institute works alongside\npartners in business, academia and the community to understand environmental change and\nexplore possible responses to the risks and opportunities it poses.

The Institute of Developmental and Regenerative Medicine (IDRM) is a unique flagship institution, at the University of Oxford, and represents a dynamic and collaborative research environment, with 15-20 research groups and at full capacity 240 research staff investigating how understanding normal development can inform on strategies to regenerate diseased or injured tissues. Our interests span across three research themes: cardiovascular science, neuroscience and immunology, capturing three of the major organ systems targeted by non-communicable diseases.

\n
 

\n
The IDRM is offering a Transition Fellowship to support and develop an outstanding researcher at an intermediate/career development stage. In particular, we encourage candidates who already have a track record of interdisciplinary collaboration and can bridge across at least two of our themes to apply. Clinicians and Non-Clinicians are welcome to apply. We will award one Fellowship and appoint the Fellow either on Grade E63 (£32,398 - £63,152) for Clinicians or Grade 8 (£45,585 - £54,395) for Non-Clinicians. The selection process is based solely on how applicants match the essential criteria as outlined in the job description.

\n
We are specifically looking for researchers seeking mentoring and sponsorship to apply for external career development fellowships (e.g. Wellcome Trust’s Career Development, MRC’s Career Development, BHF’s Intermediate Basic Science Research, UKRI Future Leaders, EPSRC Established Career).

\n
 

\n
The IDRM will make available funds for up to two years to support research costs, up-to a total of £200K (excluding the Fellow’s own salary costs), to relocate researchers into Oxford and the Institute and to enable them to capitalise on generating a competitive fellowship proposal with extensive pilot data and access to local collaborators and research platforms. Applications for external fellowship funding will need to be submitted at 18 months into the post.

\n
 

\n
Successful applicants will have a minimum of 3 years post-doctoral experience, distinctive research achievements and a cutting-edge research plan for the next 5 years. The post holders will need to be able to work with and seek active collaboration with research partners from other disciplines. We look for individuals who have emerging independence in a field or cross-cutting themes that will add value to IDRM’s mission.

\n
 

\n
This post is fixed-term for 2 years.

\n
 

\n
Applicants must apply online and include a CV, publication list as well as a statement of career intentions. The supporting statement must explain how you meet each of the selection criteria for the post using examples of your skills and experience. Click  here for information and advice on writing an effective Supporting Statement. Applicants must also provide a research plan outlining an overview of proposed research for the transition fellowship and how this will map onto an external application in 18 months' time. This should include a clear explanation of how the research will enhance cardiovascular, neurological or immunological programmes at the IDRM, a summary budget and a brief justification for the requested budget (maximum 4 pages including reference-list relevant to the proposed research project).

\n
 

\n
This role meets the criteria for a UK Skilled Worker visa.

The new Research Associate (Infrastructure Risk Analytics) will help advance our research on global infrastructure networks and the consequences of failure for supply chains and the economy. This will include transport infrastructure and may also include power and water supply infrastructure. You will work with the rapidly emerging global datasets of infrastructure, along with multi-sector, multi-region economic datasets. Alongside this, you will make use of global economic and population scenarios and datasets of global production sites and supply chains which you will associate with infrastructure networks. You will advance our methods for inferring connectivity, interdependence and attribute users to the assets. You will quantify hotspots of infrastructure vulnerability and compute a variety of metrics of risk, to provide a platform for testing potential disruption scenarios, for example due to extreme events, and their propagation though global power networks. You will be involved in assembling and creating novel data on a range of different natural hazards and infrastructure networks. The emphasis will be upon (i) applied methodological development (ii) generation of new insights about the vulnerability of real-world networks (iii) analysis of options for network adaptation to enhance resilience and (iv) exploration of uncertainties and sensitivities.

Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Assistant in  Laboratory Searches for Fundamental Physics, in Atomic and Laser Physics.

\n
 

\n
The post is available initially for a fixed-term duration of  2 years.

\n
A common perception is that laboratory tests of fundamental physics necessarily require large particle colliders. However, thanks to the development of ultra-high intensity optical lasers and 4th generation light sources, new approaches are now possible that exploit the simultaneous interactions of multiple photons with vacuum via quantum field fluctuations. While accelerator based searches at high energies have not yet found evidence of new physics, ultra-high intensity optical lasers and 4th generation light sources thus offer a novel complementary approach for searches at optical and X-ray energies.

\n
 

\n
The successful candidate will will be involved in planning, setting up and executing experiments at high-power lasers and x-ray Free Electron lasers to determine new bounds for axion and axion-like particles. They will also perform data analysis (with appropriate computational methods) and interact with the theory team for the understanding of the results.

\n
 

\n
The post-holder will have the opportunity to teach. This may include lecturing, small group teaching, and tutoring of undergraduates and graduate students.

\n
Applicants should hold a PhD, or be close to completion in physics or a related field and have a strong background in  high power laser or free-electron laser experiments.   

\n
 

\n
Previous experience (experimental or theoretical) in high-field quantum electrodynamics, particle physics, beyond Standard Model phenomenology or axion searches will be an advantage.

\n
Candidates are expected to be able to work in a multidisciplinary environment.

\n
 

\n
Please direct enquiries about the role to Prof Gianluca Gregori and Prof Subir Sarkar (gianluca.gregori@physics.ox.ac.uk) and (subir.sarkar@physics.ox.ac.uk)

\n
Only applications received before midday (UK time) 5 April 2024 can be considered. You will be required to upload a statement of research interests, CV and details of two referees as part of your online application.

Over 55% of the research submitted from the Division was judged to be worldleading (4*, the highest score available). More than two-thirds (69%) of the research’s impact\nwas 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,\nengineering and mathematics), and D (Arts and Humanities), highlighting the enormous breadth\nand diversity of research expertise across the Division.\nOur academic and research staff and students are international thought leaders, generating new\nevidence, insights and policy tools with which to address some of the major global challenges\nfacing humanity, such as sustainable resource management, poverty and forced migration,\neffective governance and justice. Particular research highlights in recent years have included\nCOVID-19 and Climate Change. As well as active interdisciplinary links with researchers in\n8|Page\n\nother divisions at Oxford, we engage and collaborate extensively with other universities and a\nwide range of governmental and non-governmental practitioner communities such as law,\nbusiness, public health and welfare, international development and education around the world.\nThe Division has an extensive portfolio of external funders, partners and supporters, with\ncompetitively-awarded external research income exceeding £50 million per year and\nphilanthropic income over £25 million a year.\nAs part of our commitment to equality of opportunity, eleven of our departments have achieved\nBronze awards under the Athena Swan Charter (a UK accreditation scheme recognising\norganisations’ commitment to equality and diversity, particularly in gender).

The divisions are responsible for academic strategy and operational planning, oversight\nof the teaching and research of their constituent departments and faculties, and for personnel and\nresource management. The social sciences at Oxford are distinctive for both their depth and breadth,\nwith over 1,100 academic and research staff working across fifteen departments, faculties and schools.\nThe Head of the Social Sciences Division is Professor Timothy Power.\nThe Division is a world-leading centre of research and education in the social sciences. The Times Higher\nEducation (THE) University Rankings returned the University of Oxford to the number one spot in the\n\nAugust 2023\n\nworld for Social Sciences in 2022. We have placed first in three of the last five years (2018, 2019 and\n2022).\nMore than 800 researchers were returned to Main Panel C (Social Sciences) for REF 2021 across a diverse\nrange of subject area ‘units of assessment’ – from geography and business to archaeology and law. Over\n55% of the research submitted from the Division was judged to be world-leading (4*, the highest score\navailable). More than two-thirds (69%) of the research’s impact was also recognised as world-leading\n(4*). Research from across the Division was also submitted to subject areas across Panels A (Medicine,\nhealth 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.\nOur academic and research staff and students are international thought leaders, generating new\nevidence, insights and policy tools with which to address some of the major global challenges facing\nhumanity, such as sustainable resource management, poverty and forced migration, effective\ngovernance and justice. Particular research highlights in recent years have included COVID-19 and\nClimate Change. As well as active interdisciplinary links with researchers in other divisions at Oxford, we\nengage 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\ndevelopment and education around the world. The Division has an extensive portfolio of external\nfunders, partners and supporters, with competitively-awarded external research income exceeding £50\nmillion per year and philanthropic income over £25 million a year.\nAs part of our commitment to equality of opportunity, eleven of our departments have achieved Bronze\nawards under the Athena Swan Charter (a UK accreditation scheme recognising organisations’\ncommitment to equality and diversity, particularly in gender). Our School of Geography and the\nEnvironment holds an Athena Swan Silver award. In February 2023, for the first time, the University as a\nwhole was awarded an institutional Athena Swan Silver award, acknowledging the progress that has been\nmade in addressing a number of gender gaps across the University over the last five years.\nThe Division delivers an exceptional range of high-quality educational programmes all underpinned by\nthe innovative research being undertaken by our academics. The student body is made up of over 2,000\nundergraduate students, nearly 3,000 students studying postgraduate taught programmes and 1,200\npostgraduate research students. The programmes we offer are wide-ranging, often interdisciplinary and\ninclude professionally-oriented provision in areas such as business, law and education. The Division is\nhome to several of Oxford’s most widely recognised teaching programmes, such as Philosophy, Politics\nand Economics (PPE) at undergraduate level; and at the Masters level programmes such as the Bachelor\nin Civil Law (BCL), Environmental Change and Management, International Relations, and Social Data\nScience.\nFor more information, please visit: www.socsci.ox.ac.uk.\n\nExeter College\nAt just over seven hundred years old, Exeter College is the fourth oldest of the 42 constituent Colleges\nand Halls of the University of Oxford. Its Governing Body is made up of the Rector and 59 Fellows, all of\nwhom hold senior academic or administrative posts in the collegiate University. The College has an\nundergraduate body of about 340, in addition to whom there are more than 200 postgraduate students\nand up to 30 undergraduate students visiting for a year from other top institutions. Exeter is a lively\ninterdisciplinary community: its Fellows and students study and research across a wide array of subjects\nin the social sciences, humanities, medicine, and the natural sciences.\n\nAugust 2023\n\nThe College was founded in in the early fourteenth century by Walter de Stapeldon, Bishop of Exeter.\nThe historic centre of the College (occupied by it since 1315) is located on the corner of Broad Street and\nTurl Street in the heart of the city. In early 2017 we opened an ambitious third quadrangle (the ‘Cohen\nQuadrangle’) in Walton Street, just a few minutes’ walk from the Turl Street site. The Cohen Quadrangle\nincludes seminar rooms, residential facilities, and study and social space\nExeter’s working environment is very congenial, and the College has a reputation for being small and\nfriendly, as well as for maintaining consistently high academic standards. The strategic aims are to\nsupport excellence in the achievement of all its members, actively to seek to enhance diversity (in many\nforms) within the whole membership of the College, to steward the resources of the College to ensure\nsustainability, and to enhance the inclusiveness of our intellectually stimulating academic community.\nWe seek to enhance our international connections in teaching and research. Within the Fellowship, we\nseek to foster a lively and creative community of world-class academics, which remains self-governing\nand has the resources to ensure that busy and creative academics benefit from their membership of the\nCollege.\nAnthropology at Exeter College\nExeter’s fundamental impact on the discipline of anthropology is down to three members of the College.\nRobert Ranulph Marett, DSc, a Philosophy Tutor at Exeter and University Reader, and later Rector of\nExeter (1928–43) is acknowledged as one of the founders of academic anthropology. R. S. (Robert)\nRattray enrolled at the College during a home leave from the Colonial Office in order to study for a\nDiploma in Anthropology with Marett; following graduation he produced several groundbreaking\nethnographical works about the Asante people in the interstices of his government work. Sir Edward\nEvans-Pritchard studied History as an Exeter undergraduate in the early-1920s but he also started to read\nanthropological literature with Marett; on graduation he had to move to the LSE due to the lack of\nanthropological fieldwork experience within the Oxford faculty. After developing his career in social\nanthropology, Evans-Pritchard – by way of a Readership at Cambridge – returned to Oxford as Professor\nof Social Anthropology and here built up a the postgraduate community within the Institute of Social\nAnthropology. By associating with this new post in Medical Anthropology, the Governing Body of Exeter\nwishes to reinvigorate its historic links with the School, and to augment its own community of\npostgraduate scholars in this field.\nResearch, teaching and other duties\nThe successful candidate will have no formal teaching requirements for Exeter, but our hope is that they\nwill nonetheless wish fully and actively to participate in the fostering of the scholarly community within\nthe College. As part of that community the Fellow will participate in the admission to the College of\nstudents who have been accepted to study for postgraduate degrees at the School of Anthropology &\nMuseum Ethnography and will act as a College Advisor (a pastoral and mentoring role) to these students.\nNature of College appointment\nThe successful candidate will be elected to a non-stipendiary Fellowship by Special Election. Whilst the\nholding of this Fellowship will not constitute an employment with Exeter College (rather, it represents an\nassociation with the College through which the Fellow can enjoy the academic entitlement to a College\nFellowship as part of their Associate Professorship, as well as all the academic and other benefits of being\npart of a wider, multi-disciplinary college community), it is nonetheless a full Fellowship of the College,\nand comes with membership of Governing Body and therefore an expectation that the postholder\nwillparticipate appropriately in the governance and administration of the College, including exercising\nthe fiduciary duties of a charity trustee towards the running of the College, which is a registered charity.\n\nAugust 2023\n\nAs a member of the Governing Body of the Exeter College, the postholder will be a Trustee of the charity.\nAs such, candidates must ensure that they are eligible to act as a charity trustee in the UK, and that there\nis no reason why they would be disqualified from acting as such. Further information can be obtained\nfrom the College’s HR Manager (vacancies@exeter.ox.ac.uk).\nThe Fellowship also includes:\n• Membership of the Senior Common Room of the College. The Fellow is entitled to lunch and dinner\nfree of charge at the Common Table at Exeter College on each day for which the Governing Body makes\nsuch provision (in practice, this normally includes free lunches and dinners on every weekday in Term\nand outside Term, and on every Sunday evening during Term).\n• An annual research expenses budget from the College (currently £800 per annum). This is reclaimed\nthrough expenses, rather than being paid as salary.\nNon-tutorial Fellows are not provided with their own office space in College; however, they will have full\naccess to the College’s facilities on both the Turl Street and Cohen Quad sites, including common rooms,\nbookable seminar rooms, bookable guest rooms, and a shared hot-desking room in Turl Street.\nThe appointment to a Fellowship of the College is contingent on remaining in post as Associate Professor\nof Medical Anthropology: should the successful candidate’s employment with the School of Anthropology\nand Museum Ethnography terminate for any reason then the College Fellowship will automatically\nterminate from the same date.\n\nAbout the University of Oxford\nOxford’s departments and colleges aim to lead the world in research and education for the benefit of\nsociety both in the UK and globally.

We aim to lead the world in research and education for the benefit of\nsociety both in the UK and globally. Oxford’s researchers engage with academic, commercial and cultural\npartners across the world to stimulate high-quality research and enable innovation through a broad range of\nsocial, policy and economic impacts.\nWe believe our strengths lie both in empowering individuals and teams to address fundamental questions of\nglobal significance, while providing all our staff with a welcoming and inclusive workplace that enables\neveryone to develop and do their best work. Recognising that diversity is our strength, vital for innovation and\ncreativity, we aspire to build a truly diverse community which values and respects every individual’s unique\ncontribution.\nWhile we have long traditions of scholarship, we are also forward-looking, creative and cutting-edge. Oxford\nis one of Europe's most entrepreneurial universities and we rank first in the UK for university spin-outs, and in\nrecent years we have spun out 15-20 new companies every year. We are also recognised as leaders in support\nfor social enterprise.\nJoin us and you will find a unique, democratic and international community, a great range of staff benefits and\naccess to a vibrant array of cultural activities in the beautiful city of Oxford.\nFor more information, please visit www.ox.ac.uk/about/organisation.\n\nThe Oxford School of Global and Area Studies\nThe School represents a commitment by the University to enhancing teaching and research in Area Studies. It\nbrings together seven units: the African Studies Centre, the Latin American Centre (including the Brazilian\nStudies Programme), the Nissan Institute of Japanese Studies, the Contemporary China Studies Programme,\nRussian and East European Studies, the Contemporary South Asia Studies Programme and the Middle East\nProgramme.\nThe administration of the School is based at 12 Bevington Road, with colleagues also providing administrative\nsupport across a number of locations in which the School’s constituent units are based (including the Nissan\nInstitute of Japanese Studies at St Antony’s College and the University of Oxford China Centre at St Hugh’s\nCollege).\nThe School is devoted to research and graduate teaching in academic disciplines which attempt to understand\nthe complexity and the interrelatedness of society through anthropology, economics, politics, history,\nsociology and culture. Its teaching and research seek to take into account both the insights provided by the\nseparate disciplines and the contextualisation provided by in-depth knowledge of specific regions and\ncountries. Interdisciplinary collaboration to study specific social processes is encouraged, and a distinctive\nfeature of the School is the number of its academic staff who hold joint appointments in the School and a\ndisciplinary department in the Social Sciences or Humanities Divisions. In the most recent national research\nquality assessment exercise (REF2021), Area Studies at Oxford – comprising staff in the School and the Faculty\nof Asian and Middle Eastern Studies in the Humanities Division - was judged to account for more world-leading\n(4*) research than any other Area Studies department in the UK.\nThe School admits around 160 graduate students a year on Masters and DPhil programmes, across the\nAfrican Studies Centre, Latin American Centre, the Nissan Institute of Japanese Studies, Russian and East\nEuropean Studies, Contemporary South Asia, Contemporary Chinese Studies, Middle East Studies, and the\ncomparative Master’s programme in Global and Area Studies. Additionally, the School’s academic staff\nsupervise doctoral students and teach on a range of undergraduate programmes in other parts of the\nUniversity.\nThe School holds a Bronze Athena Swan Award to recognise the advancement of gender equality,\nrepresentation and progression.\n5\n\nFurther information about the OSGA, its component units, its staff, courses and research activities can be\nfound on its website at www.area-studies.ox.ac.uk\n\nThe Social Sciences Division\nThe University’s academic departments and faculties are organised into four large groups known as\nAcademic Divisions (Social Sciences, Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences (MPLS), Medical Sciences,\nand Humanities). The divisions are responsible for academic strategy and operational planning,\noversight of the teaching and research of their constituent departments and faculties, and for personnel\nand resource management. The social sciences at Oxford are distinctive for both their depth and\nbreadth, with over 1,100 academic and research staff working across fifteen departments, faculties and\nschools.\nThe Head of the Social Sciences Division is Professor Timothy Power.\nThe Division is a world-leading centre of research and education in the social sciences. The Times Higher\nEducation (THE) University Rankings returned the University of Oxford to the number one spot in the\nworld for Social Sciences in 2022. We have placed first in three of the last five years (2018, 2019 and\n2022).\nMore than 800 researchers were returned to Main Panel C (Social Sciences) for REF 2021 across a\ndiverse range of subject area ‘units of assessment’ – from geography and business to archaeology and\nlaw. Over 55% of the research submitted from the Division was judged to be world -leading (4*, the\nhighest score available). More than two-thirds (69%) of the research’s impact was also recognised as\nworld-leading (4*). Research from across the Division was also submitted to subject areas across Panels\nA (Medicine, health and life sciences), B (Physical sciences, engineering and mathematics), and D (Arts\nand Humanities), highlighting the enormous breadth and diversity of research expertise across the\nDivision. Our academic and research staff and students are international thought leaders, generating\nnew evidence, insights and policy tools with which to address some of the major global challenges\nfacing humanity, such as sustainable resource management, poverty and forced migration, effective\ngovernance and justice. Particular research highlights in recent years have included COVID -19 and\nClimate Change. As well as active interdisciplinary links with researchers in other divisions at Oxford,\nwe engage and collaborate extensively with other universities and a wide range of governmental and\nnongovernmental practitioner communities such as law, business, public health and welfare,\ninternational development and education around the world. The Division has an extensive portfolio of\nexternal funders, partners and supporters, with competitively-awarded external research income\nexceeding £50 million per year and philanthropic income over £25 million a year.\nAs part of our commitment to equality of opportunity, eleven of our departments have achieved Bronze\nawards under the Athena Swan Charter (a UK accreditation scheme recognising organisations’ commitment\nto equality and diversity, particularly in gender). Our School of Geography and the Environment holds an\nAthena Swan Silver award. In February 2023, for the first time, the University as a whole was awarded an\ninstitutional Athena Swan Silver award, acknowledging the progress that has been made in addressing a\nnumber of gender gaps across the University over the last five years. The Division delivers an exceptional\nrange of high-quality educational programmes all underpinned by the innovative research being\nundertaken by our academics. The student body is made up of over 2,000 undergraduate students, nearly\n3,000 students studying postgraduate taught programmes and 1,200 postgraduate research students. The\nprogrammes we offer are wide-ranging, often interdisciplinary and include professionally-oriented\n6\n\nprovision in areas such as business, law and education.

In the UK-wide 2021 Research Excellence Framework (REF), it was a top-five scoring\ndepartment in the country, across all subjects and universities, with 62 per cent of the Department’s\nresearch activity classified as ‘world leading’ (4*) with a further 30 per cent classed as ‘internationally\nexcellent’ (3*). In the most recent QS World University Rankings by Subject (2022) the Department\nranked second in Social Policy and Administration globally.\nThe Department has undergone substantial transformation in recent years. This renewal includes the\nexpansion of graduate teaching and supervision in policy evaluation and comparative social policy;\nsignificant expansion in research income; and the creation of new research groups and areas of research\nexpertise.\nThe Department's teaching is largely devoted to graduate students. It offers master’s degrees in\nComparative Social Policy (CSP) and in Evidence-Based Social Intervention and Policy Evaluation (EBSIPE).\nStudents may study for either a one-year MSc or a two-year MPhil. The Department also offers\nsupervision for doctoral degrees in Social Policy or in Social Intervention and Policy Evaluation. The\ngraduate intake is highly international with students drawn from the United Kingdom, EU member states,\nand many countries across the world.\nResearch within the Department is largely organised under the auspices of two main research groups:\n•\n•\n\nThe Centre for Evidence-Based Intervention (CEBI)\nThe Oxford Institute of Social Policy (OISP)\n\nMore information about the department can be found at www.spi.ox.ac.uk.\n\nSocial Sciences Division\nThe University’s academic departments and faculties are organised into four large groups known as\nAcademic Divisions (Social Sciences, Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences (MPLS), Medical Sciences,\nand Humanities). The divisions are responsible for academic strategy and operational planning, oversight\nof the teaching and research of their constituent departments and faculties, and for personnel and\nresource management. The social sciences at Oxford are distinctive for both their depth and breadth,\nwith over 1,100 academic and research staff working across fifteen departments, faculties and schools.\nThe Head of the Social Sciences Division is Professor Timothy Power.\nThe Division is a world-leading centre of research and education in the social sciences. The Times Higher\nEducation (THE) University Rankings returned the University of Oxford to the number one spot in the\nworld for Social Sciences in 2022. We have placed first in three of the last five years (2018, 2019 and\n2022).\nMore than 800 researchers were returned to Main Panel C (Social Sciences) for REF 2021 across a diverse\nrange of subject area ‘units of assessment’ – from geography and business to archaeology and law. Over\n55% of the research submitted from the Division was judged to be world-leading (4*, the highest score\navailable). More than two-thirds (69%) of the research’s impact was also recognised as world-leading\n(4*). Research from across the Division was also submitted to subject areas across Panels A (Medicine,\nhealth and life sciences), B (Physical sciences, engineering and mathematics), and D (Arts and\nHumanities), highlighting the enormous breadth and diversity of research expertise across the Division.\nOur academic and research staff and students are international thought leaders, generating new\nevidence, insights and policy tools with which to address some of the major global challenges facing\nhumanity, such as sustainable resource management, poverty and forced migration, effective\ngovernance and justice. Particular research highlights in recent years have included COVID-19 and\nClimate Change. As well as active interdisciplinary links with researchers in other divisions at Oxford, we\nengage 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\ndevelopment and education around the world. The Division has an extensive portfolio of external\nfunders, partners and supporters, with competitively-awarded external research income exceeding £50\nmillion per year and philanthropic income over £25 million a year.\nAs part of our commitment to equality of opportunity, eleven of our departments have achieved Bronze\nawards under the Athena Swan Charter (a UK accreditation scheme recognising organisations’\ncommitment to equality and diversity, particularly in gender). Our School of Geography and the\nEnvironment holds an Athena Swan Silver award. In February 2023, for the first time, the University as a\nwhole was awarded an institutional Athena Swan Silver award, acknowledging the progress that has been\nmade in addressing a number of gender gaps across the University over the last five years.\nThe Division delivers an exceptional range of high-quality educational programmes all underpinned by\nthe innovative research being undertaken by our academics. The student body is made up of over 2,000\nundergraduate students, nearly 3,000 students studying postgraduate taught programmes and 1,200\npostgraduate research students. The programmes we offer are wide-ranging, often interdisciplinary and\ninclude professionally-oriented provision in areas such as business, law and education. The Division is\nhome to several of Oxford’s most widely recognised teaching programmes, such as Philosophy, Politics\nand Economics (PPE) at undergraduate level; and at the Masters level programmes such as the Bachelor\nin Civil Law (BCL), Environmental Change and Management, International Relations, and Social Data\nScience.\nFor more information, please visit: www.socsci.ox.ac.uk\n\nGreen Templeton College\nGreen Templeton is proud to be a progressive, international and inclusive community within the\nUniversity of Oxford at the forefront of graduate education.

In the 2021 Research\nExcellence Framework (REF) Exercise the Psychology, Neuroscience and Psychiatry REF submission from\nOxford was judged to have many outstanding strengths in the research it produced, its research\nenvironment, and in terms of the impact of its research on wider society. Departmental turnover for\n20/21 was in excess of £15.5 million. Research in the Department is organised into 5 research groupings\nroughly equal in size: Behavioural Neuroscience / Cognition and Perception / Developmental Psychology\n/ Social Psychology / Psychological and Brain Health.\nIn 2018 the core of the department relocated to the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter where we now occupy\ntwo floors of New Radcliffe House and the Anna Watts Building. The Anna Watts building houses the\ndevelopmental research centre and BabyLab, and facilities for EEG, TMS, and tDCS, along with multiple\nlaboratories with eye-movement recording equipment. The Oxford Centre for Anxiety Disorders and\nTrauma (OXCADAT) is located at The Old Rectory, and we also have some research groups located in the\nTinsley Building in the Science Area of the city. Experimental Psychology has good access to a wide variety\nof special populations including: mothers and babies, schools, older participants, acquired and\ndevelopmental neuropsychological patients, and individuals with psychological problems.\nIn 2024 the department will move to its new home in The Life and Mind Building. This exciting\ndevelopment will provide exceptional research and teaching facilities along with space for public\nengagement and outreach. There is a dedicated area for mental health research with clinical populations.\nIt also offers renewed commitment to work across disciplinary boundaries to further knowledge across\nthe psychological and biological sciences and to solve major global challenges.\nThrough both the University and colleges, Oxford places a high priority on teaching quality. At the\nundergraduate level, the Department is the focus for lectures, classes, practicals, and research projects.\nIt is a centre used by the undergraduates from all colleges for the Experimental Psychology (EP),\nPsychology, Philosophy and Linguistics (PPL), and Biomedical Science (BMS) courses. The Department\nprovides lecture rooms, IT facilities, and laboratories for experimental and project work.\nThe Department also hosts two MSc courses, the MSc in Psychological Research and the MSc in\nNeuroscience. The Department also hosts the Doctorate in Clinical Psychology course. We have a thriving\ncommunity of graduate research students and a commitment to supporting early-career researchers.\nFor more information please visit: http://www.psy.ox.ac.uk.\nThe Department of Experimental Psychology is strongly committed to equality and valuing diversity, and\nwe operate a flexible working policy for all staff. The Department holds a departmental Silver Athena\nSwan award to recognise advancement of gender equality: representation, progression and success for\nall.\n\nThe Oxford Centre for Psychological Health and Oxford Institute for Clinical Psychology\nTraining and Research.\nThe Oxford Centre for Psychological Health is comprised of several components, including the Oxford\nCognitive Therapy Centre (OCTC), a NHS national specialist psychological treatment clinic, and the Oxford\nInstitute for Clinical Psychology Training and Research (“the Institute”). The Institute is based at the\nWarneford Hospital in Headington, where it is located in purpose built unit, the Isis Education Centre.\nThe Doctorate in Clinical Psychology is a partnership between the University and the Trust, and is a full\nPostgraduate Research degree, commissioned by NHS England. The 2023 intake was 52 students, and the\nnumbers are expected to increase to 60 per year. Teaching takes place in a variety of locations due to the\n7\n\nexpansion of numbers in recent years. There is a staff team of around 30 psychologists and 10\nadministrative staff; further staffing increases are anticipated as expansion continues. OCTC has a further\nstaff team of internationally recognised CBT specialists, and the specialist clinic overlaps in with the other\nunits in terms of staffing alongside expert therapists of its own. OCTC also runs a range of University\ncourses in CBT based in the University Department of Continuing Education, as well as NHS commissioned\ncourses.\n\nReuben College\nThere are 39 self-governing and independent colleges at Oxford, giving both academic staff and students\nthe 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.\nThe founding of Reuben College in 2019, supported by a generous benefaction from the Reuben\nFoundation of £71 million (including £15 million for graduate scholarships), has offered an exciting\nopportunity to bring together researchers and postgraduate students focused on exploring some of the\nmost important questions of the 21st century. Reuben College provides an environment that stimulates\nand facilitates interdisciplinary research, while emphasising the qualities of innovation, leadership and\nentrepreneurship. It supports a community of Fellows and graduates who embrace opportunities to\ninteract with researchers beyond the boundaries of their own disciplines and to engage with colleagues\nbeyond the realm of academia.\nTo promote the ethos and practice of interdisciplinary interaction, there is an initial focus on four research\nclusters, whose themes have been chosen for their wide reach across the University, their strongly\ninterdisciplinary nature, Oxford’s existing and potential strengths in these areas, and their innovation and\nentrepreneurship potential. The initial clusters focus on the topics of (a) Artificial Intelligence & Machine\nLearning, (b) Environmental Change, (c) Cellular Life, and (d) Ethics & Values. These clusters have natural\nsynergies, enabling cross-cutting discussions and research collaborations to emerge. Each of the four areas is\ninterpreted as broadly as possible, as the College is keen to attract researchers from all four of the University’s\nAcademic Divisions. The four themes are complemented by a number of strategic stands, notably in\nInnovation and Entrepreneurship and in Public Engagement in Research.\nAs a new college, we are building a community of people and practice that recognises the importance of\nequality and diversity in our community and in our intellectual endeavours. All Fellows are expected to\nsubscribe proactively to the college ethos and to commit to developing both its intellectual and outreach\nactivities. The College Fellows together foster a culture of interdisciplinary exchange through regular college\nevents, such as seminars, workshops and reading groups.\nFor more information please visit: www.reuben.ox.ac.uk.\n\nThe Medical Sciences Division\nThe Medical Sciences Division is an internationally recognized centre of excellence for biomedical and\nclinical research and teaching. We are the largest academic division in the University of Oxford.\nWorld-leading programmes, housed in state-of-the-art facilities, cover the full range of scientific\nendeavour from the molecule to the population. With our NHS partners we also foster the highest\npossible standards in patient care.\nFor more information please visit: www.medsci.ox.ac.uk\n\n8\n\nThe University of Oxford\nOxford’s departments and colleges aim to lead the world in research and education for the benefit of\nsociety both in the UK and globally. Oxford’s researchers engage with academic, commercial and cultural\npartners across the world to stimulate high-quality research and enable innovation through a broad range\nof social, policy and economic impacts.\nOxford’s self-governing community of international scholars includes Professors, Associate Professors,\nother college tutors, senior and junior research fellows and over 2,500 other University research staff.\nResearch at Oxford combines disciplinary depth with an increasing focus on inter-disciplinary and multidisciplinary activities addressing a rich and diverse range of issues.\nWe believe our strengths lie both in empowering individuals and teams to address fundamental questions\nof global significance, while providing all our staff with a welcoming and inclusive workplace that enables\neveryone to develop and do their best work.

Oxford is also recognised as a leading\nsupporter of social enterprise.\nOxford admits undergraduate students with the intellectual potential to benefit fully from the small\ngroup learning to which Oxford is deeply committed. Meeting in small groups with their tutor,\nundergraduates are exposed to rigorous scholarly challenge and learn to develop their critical thinking,\ntheir ability to articulate their views with clarity, and their personal and intellectual confidence. They\nreceive a high level of personal attention from leading academics.\nOxford 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\noffer, by the excellent research and laboratory facilities available, and by the resources of the museums\nand libraries, including one of the world’s greatest libraries, the Bodleian.\nJoin us and you will find a unique, democratic and international community, a great range of staff benefits\nand access to a vibrant array of cultural activities in the beautiful city of Oxford.

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\nthey 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.\nThe postholder will receive the following College benefits:\n\n\n\n\n\nAn 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\nexample, conferences, events, or research costs).\nSubsidised dining and luncheon rights (in accordance with the facilities available at the time).\nThe right to bring guests to college meals, subject to capacity, and at their own costs.\nMembership of the Common Room.\n\nBenefits will continue as normal during any period of family leave, or sickness absence but will be suspended\nfor the period of any research or other leave (excepting the above) during which the postholder elects not\nto fulfil their college duties.

The academic divisions are responsible for\nacademic oversight of the teaching and research of their constituent departments and\nfaculties, for strategic and operational planning, and for personnel and resource\nmanagement. The Head of the Social Sciences Division is Professor Timothy Power, who is a\nmember of the University’s Council.The Social Sciences Division is a world-leading centre of\nresearch and education in the social sciences. The social sciences at Oxford are distinctive\nfor both their depth and breadth, with activity spanning fourteen departments and faculties\nand one cross-divisional unit. (These are as follows: Law, the Saïd Business School,\nEconomics, Politics and International Relations, the Blavatnik School of Government, the\nSchool of Anthropology and Museum Ethnography, International Development, Sociology,\nSocial Policy and Intervention, the Oxford Internet Institute, Archaeology, the School of\nInterdisciplinary Area Studies, Education, the School of Geography and the Environment and\nthe Oxford Martin School.) Interdisciplinary links within and beyond the university are strong,\nextending to the humanities, natural sciences, and medical sciences.\nAcademic and research staff and research students are engaged in world-leading research\nthat challenges current ideas and theories and is tackling some of the major challenges\nfacing humanity, such as sustainable resource management, migration, governance, poverty\nand development, and justice. REF 2014 confirmed Oxford as the UK powerhouse for\nresearch in the social sciences, where Oxford accounted for more world-leading (4*)\nresearch than any other institution, across the social sciences units of assessment to which\nit made submissions. The division has an extensive portfolio of external funders and\ncollaborators, with competitively-awarded external research income exceeding £40million\nper year. Researchers in the division engage actively beyond academia and their research\nhas influence in many spheres from innovation in public policymaking to practitioner\ncommunities such as law, business, education, social welfare and NGOs.\nThe division also delivers an exceptional range of high quality educational programmes\n(undergraduate, postgraduate taught and postgraduate research), all of which are\nunderpinned by the innovative research being undertaken by our academics. Programmes\n8\n\nrange from those at the interface of the natural sciences, through to professionally-oriented\nprovision in areas such as business, law and education. The division is home to several of\nOxford’s most widely recognised teaching programmes, such as Philosophy, Politics and\nEconomics (PPE); the BCL; the MPhils in International Relations, in Economics, and in\nDevelopment Studies; the MBA and EMBA; and the nationally regarded PGCE.\nFor more information please visit: http://www.socsci.ox.ac.uk/\n\nHow to apply\nApplications are made through our online recruitment portal.

Theology is the oldest faculty in\nOxford, and one of the oldest academic faculties in the world: as early as 1193, Alexander Neckham\nfrom St Albans is recorded as giving biblical and moral lectures in Oxford. The modern Faculty now\nincludes approximately 200 students on three different undergraduate courses, and around 240\ngraduates pursuing both taught and research degrees across many different aspects of Theology and\nReligion.\nAt the heart of the modern Faculty are the 23 postholders who hold full-time, permanent positions\nwith the University. They have a particular responsibility for the Faculty’s teaching, research and\nacademic leadership. Each is also a fellow and trustee of one of Oxford’s constituent Colleges; some\nhave greater responsibilities to undergraduates, and others to graduates. Their academic research\ninterests span biblical studies, ethics, Christian doctrine and Church history, as well as science and\nreligion, philosophy, the anthropology of religion, Islam, Buddhism, Judaism, and Hinduism. Many\nFaculty\npostholders are leaders in their field, with international reputations.\nThe Faculty is also enriched by an additional 28 departmental lecturers, researchers and language\nteachers, plus around 100 other Faculty members, who hold positions in colleges and halls of\nthe University. The particular subject areas and research interests of the University postholders and\nother Faculty members may be seen on the Faculty webpage. For more information, please\nvisit: www.theology.ox.ac.uk\n\nCampion Hall\nFounded by the Society of Jesus in 1896, Campion Hall is one of four Permanent Private Halls in the\nUniversity of Oxford. It is an international community of fellows, graduate students, and staff, who\nshare the motivation to be a welcoming community of learning, research, and outreach for a\nreconciled world. Its unique character combines the intellectual and educational traditions of Oxford\nand the Society of Jesus. As one of the smaller graduate communities in the University of Oxford,\nCampion Hall offers a supportive learning environment that carefully attends to each member’s\nacademic and non-academic development.\nCampion Hall’s research, inspired by the Jesuit tradition, promotes an academic endeavour and\ndialogue towards a new vision of humanity on a shared planet. To this end, it focuses especially on\nfour areas: the Humanities, Theology and Spirituality, Ethics and Social Justice, and Integral Ecology.\nThe Hall is home to the Laudato Si’ Research Institute (LSRI). Formed in 2019, the mission of the LSRI\nis to build the intellectual foundations for a reordering of society toward care for the earth and the\npoor. It engages in research that incorporates a wide range of disciplinary perspectives, including the\nwisdom of religious traditions and marginalised voices, and is oriented toward practice.\nAt Campion Hall, the Gordon Milburn Research Fellow will participate in a research community with\nparticular strengths and interests in the study of the mystical traditions, spiritual practice, and religious\nexperience. They may be invited to act as college advisor for up to 2 graduate students.\n\n4\n\nHumanities Division\nThe Humanities Division is one of four academic divisions in the University of Oxford, bringing together\nthe faculties of Classics, English, History, Linguistics, Philology and Phonetics, Medieval and Modern\nLanguages, Music, Oriental Studies, Philosophy; and Theology and Religion, as well as the Ruskin\nSchool of Drawing and Fine Art.

Hosted by\nOxford Health NHS foundation Trust and led from the University of Oxford’s Nuffield Department of\nPrimary Care Health Sciences.\nWe carry out “applied” health and social care research – research intended to solve practical problems –\nas opposed to more curiosity driven “basic research”.\nBy sharing resources and expertise and working closely with partners and the people of the region, we\nresearch solutions to the health and social care priority problems of local people, NHS and social care\nservices, as well as broader national priorities.\nWhere our research shows a benefit for patients and the public, we work with our NHS and social care\npartners to put these findings into action much faster than is typical for new research findings.\nWe strive to increase the region’s ability to do this kind of work. We do this through training and\ndeveloping new systems of working together and sharing knowledge, creating a legacy of applied research\nability.\n\nThe role\nThis is an outstanding opportunity for a postdoctoral researcher with a strong track record in research\nand teaching to undertake high impact work in a very topical area for the NHS: digital health care.\nReporting directly to the NIHR ARC Theme Lead for Digital Transformation of Health & Care, the post\nholder will take a leading role in developing and delivering projects in this field, encompassing the\ndigitalisation of health services and artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare.

There are two streams of work on this and depending on the\nmethodological skills (whether quantitative or qualitative) of the successful candidate, the project can be\nadapted accordingly. The two streams of work are (1) using statistics/data science approaches to examine\ncomplications recorded in primary care electronic records linked to hospital records; and (2) using a range\nof methods (quantitative and/or qualitative) to examine patient reports of complications in social media.\nDigital Health is an interdisciplinary area and we are open to considering applications from a range of\ndisciplines, whether health services research, epidemiology, statistics, data science, psychology,\nsociology, computer science, engineering or another relevant discipline. As well as experience within their\nspecific subject area, the post holder will need an understanding of the wider digital health and AI\nlandscape. The post holder will be encouraged to also develop their own research ideas, author peer\nreview publications and present their work at scientific and other meetings.\nThe Master’s in Applied Digital Health is an applied, interdisciplinary, full-time MSc led by the Nuffield\nDepartment of Primary Care Health Sciences (NDPCHS), capitalising on the existing breadth of\ninternationally leading digital health research in the department and the wider university. The post holder\n\n2\n\nwill be expected to contribute to the academic development of students through lecturing and\nmentorship, as well as contributing to the delivery of the programme.\nWhilst the post is offered until end of March 2026 in the first instance, we anticipate that further NIHR\nARC or other funding may be available in future.\nFor an informal discussion about the post, please contact John Powell by email at\njohn.powell@phc.ox.ac.uk .\n\nResponsibilities\n•\n\nLead projects in the area of digital health and/or artificial intelligence in healthcare as part of a\nmultidisciplinary team, initially working on the complications following routine procedures project\n\n•\n\nWrite peer-reviewed journal articles, present papers at conferences, and deliver seminars to\ndisseminate research findings\n\n•\n\nContribute to research grant applications including developing own research ideas\n\n•\n\nUndertake teaching and postgraduate supervision for the Master’s in Applied Digital Health, and\ncontribute to the overall delivery of this course\n\n•\n\nAttend relevant meetings (such as the ARC theme meetings) and otherwise engage with colleagues\nand collaborators to ensure our work is relevant and has maximum impact\n\nSelection criteria\nEssential selection criteria\n•\n\nHold a doctoral degree (or near completion) in a relevant discipline (such as epidemiology,\npopulation health, statistics, computer science, engineering, psychology, sociology or other\nrelevant discipline). Consideration may be given to exceptional candidates who do not hold a\ndoctoral degree but have equivalent experience.\n\n•\n\nPossess sufficient knowledge in the area of applied digital health and/or artificial intelligence in\nhealthcare to develop research projects and methodologies.\n\n•\n\nAbility to independently plan and manage a research project.

Behind us we have nearly a thousand years of teaching, learning and advancing the boundaries of\nknowledge. Today we are consistently recognised as one of the world’s leading research-intensive universities,\ncommitted to helping solve some of the world’s most pressing challenges. Unsurprisingly, we have ambitious plans\nfor our future.\nOur mission, to advance learning by teaching and research and disseminate this by every means, is delivered\nacross a dynamic ecosystem of 39 constituent colleges and 4 permanent private halls, , and a range of academic\ndivisions, departments and faculties. We offer a wide array of undergraduate, postgraduate programmes and\nContinuing Education courses across Humanities, Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences, Medical Sciences, and\nSocial Sciences. This encompasses the courses offered by the schools within these disciplines, for example the\nSaïd Business School and the Blavatnik School of Government.\nThe collegiate system is a distinguishing feature of Oxford. Each college has its own unique character that fosters a\nsense of community and belonging, providing students with a supportive environment in which they can learn and\ngrow. Students belong both to a college and a department, enabling them to benefit from the resources and\n\nnetworks of each. Our international reach, and diverse community, enable us to attract students and scholars\nfrom around the world. This provides a stimulating and intellectually challenging environment, facilitating the\nexchange of ideas and knowledge, and the sharing of different lived experiences among the community.\nBeyond the University, the city itself is steeped in history, featuring stunning architecture and buildings of\nsignificant historic interest, beautiful gardens and parks, libraries and museums. Oxford is superbly situated, with\nexcellent transport links to London, the wider country and the rest of the world, thanks to two mainline rail\nstations, an extensive coach network, and its proximity to two international airports. The city is also well-known\nfor its primary and secondary educational offering, with excellent options for schooling, which attracts many\nfamilies to move to the area. We are proud to be a significant part of this vibrant, diverse and culturally rich\nenvironment and community.\n\nAlumni Engagement at Oxford\nThe University of Oxford has 350,000+ alumni in over 180 countries.

The post\nholder will report to Drs Lisa Hinton and Katherine Tucker with oversight from Professor Richard McManus\n(Programme chief investigator). The post holder will jointly be a member of the Hypertension research group as well\nas linked to the Medical Sociology & Health Experiences Research Group (MS & HERG). The post holder will provide\nguidance to junior members of the research groups including research assistants, PhD students, and/or project\nvolunteers and be supported in developing research funding ideas.\n\nSNAP2 Programme grant\nThe SNAP2 programme builds on work by the Hypertension Team in Oxford that has demonstrated the positive\nimpact of self-monitoring of blood pressure on the hypertensive population (e.g. TASMINH trials and Home BP) as\nwell as early results from the SNAP-HT study which implemented a self-management intervention in a postnatal\npopulation. The SNAP2 programme is developing, and then implementing, a system of self-monitoring of BP for\nwomen discharged on blood pressure lowering medication following a hypertensive pregnancy. The system allows\nhealth care professionals and patients to share information about home blood pressure levels and treatment\nrecommendations. It provides reminders for monitoring and alerts for action to both patients and professionals.\nOnce developed, the SNAP2 intervention will be trialled in a multi-centre national trial with eligible women\nrandomised to either the intervention or usual care. The trial will take place in around 25 centres coordinated by a\ntrial manager and coordinating research midwives/nurses. The trial will take place across primary and secondary\ncare between 2024 and 2026. Health equity is at the heart of the programme, with its own cross-cutting work stream\nin the programme.

Shortlisting is expected to take place the following week\nand interviews later in April.\n\nThe Project\n‘Crossreads: Text, materiality, and multiculturalism at the crossroads of the ancient\nMediterranean’ is a five-year ERC funded project under the direction of Professor Jonathan Prag\n(https://crossreads.web.ox.ac.uk/). Developing and analysing a comprehensive corpus of all the\nwritten (epigraphic) documents from the island, the project will offer the first coherent account of\nthe interactions and interplay of linguistic and textual material culture in ancient Sicily over a\nperiod of 1,500 years. Sicily was a multilingual, multicultural region at the crossroads of the\nancient Mediterranean, colonised and invaded repeatedly by Phoenicians, Greeks, and Romans.\nNo such analysis has previously been attempted on this scale nor across this range of material,\nand it will offer unparalleled insights into the cultural interactions at the heart of the Mediterranean,\nbetween Greek East and Latin West, with North Africa, indigenous voices, and others.\nThe project builds upon the initial work of the I.Sicily project and exploits a variety of digital\nhumanities tools and methods (http://sicily.classics.ox.ac.uk/inscriptions/ and https://isicily.org/).\n\nThe project breaks down into four distinct ‘work-packages’, focused upon corpus-building,\nhistorical linguistics, palaeographic analysis and petrographic analysis. The project is currently in\nits fourth year, with work focused upon the consolidation of the corpus and the ongoing analysis\nof the other three work-packages. The post advertised here relates specifically to the final 6\nmonths of the historical linguistics work-package.\n\nThe Role\nReporting to the Principal Investigator, Professor Jonathan Prag, and based at the Centre for the\nStudy of Ancient Documents https://www.csad.ox.ac.uk/ at the Faculty of Classics, the researcher\nwill work full-time for 6 months on the project. The Linguistics subproject aims to address\nquestions regarding specific language use and development on the island, such as ‘How did the\nuse of individual languages change over time?’ and, above all, ‘In what ways did the different\nlanguages in use on the island interact with and affect each other?’. To this end, a researcher\nwith a background in historical linguistics will continue and develop work already begun to explore\naspects of the development and interaction of the languages in use on the island over 1,500\nyears.\nPrevious study has been hampered by the very incomplete dataset available for analysis.\nConsequently, this subproject takes the I.Sicily corpus of texts as its starting point and transforms\nit into a tool for systematic, computational linguistic analysis as the basis for a new and wideranging study of the linguistic history of the island. This will be achieved by extending the markup of the texts in the TEI corpus through a systematic programme of the tokenisation of sentences\nand words, parts-of-speech tagging of the individual words, lemmatisation of individual words,\nand syntactic analysis. The researcher will be expected to apply tools that have been developed\nand piloted for the linguistic annotation of the I.Sicily corpus during the first part of the workpackage, including for tokenisation, lemmatisation and the creation of a dependency treebank.\nThe researcher will be supported in this by members of the project’s Advisory Board, who include\nFrancesco Mambrini, Wolfgang de Melo, Alex Mullen, and Marja Vierros.\nA strong emphasis will be placed throughout the project on open collaborative working, both\nwithin the team and with colleagues and institutions across the island of Sicily.

The Humanities Division is distinctive for its depth and\nbreadth. Its activity spans nine faculties, one School and two independent research institutes: the\nfaculties of Classics; English; History; Linguistics, Philology and Phonetics; Medieval and Modern\nLanguages; Music; Asian & Middle Eastern Studies; Philosophy; and Theology and Religion; the\nRuskin School of Art; the Rothermere American Institute and the Voltaire Foundation.\nInterdisciplinary links within and beyond the University are strong, extending to the social\nsciences, medical sciences and the natural and physical sciences.\nOne of the largest centres for Humanities internationally, with over 800 members of academic\nand research staff, the Division offers world-class research and teaching, backed by the superb\nresources of the University’s libraries and museums, including the famous Bodleian Library, with\nits 11 million volumes and priceless early book and manuscript collections, the Pitt Rivers\nMuseum, the History of Science Museum and the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology.\nSuch historic resources are linked to cutting-edge agendas in research and teaching, with an\nincreasing emphasis on interdisciplinary study and digital Humanities.\n\n4\n\nThe outstanding quality of Humanities research at Oxford is recognised globally. This reputation\nfor research excellence contributes to the University coming top of several international rankings\nfor Arts and Humanities, including the US News and World Report rankings and the QS World\nUniversity Rankings by Subject. The Division’s faculties are among the largest in the world,\nenabling Oxford to offer an education in Arts and Humanities unparalleled in its range of subjects,\nfrom music and fine art to ancient and modern languages.\nThe Division has responsibility for over 4,000 undergraduates (a third of the University’s total\nundergraduate population), and for over 2,000 postgraduate students (over 1,100 doctoral\nstudents and some 900 Master’s students). Twenty-nine undergraduate courses are offered in\nHumanities subjects, seven of which are offered jointly with the other academic divisions. The\nDoctoral and Master’s programmes offered are distributed across all of the Division’s faculties,\nalong with a suite of Master’s courses offered with the Social Sciences Division and a growing\nportfolio of Master’s courses that draw from across the Humanities. The Division is part of the\nOpen-Oxford Cambridge AHRC Doctoral Training Partnership. The Humanities Division has\nembarked on a major building project on the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter, supported by a £185\nmillion gift to create the Stephen A. Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities.\nFor more information please visit: http://www.humanities.ox.ac.uk/\n\nThe Faculty of Classics\nThe Faculty of Classics is the largest department of Classics in the world focusing on research\nand teaching in ancient Greek and Roman culture, civilisation, and history between around\n1100 B.C. and A.D. 600. Particular subjects include the study of the ancient Greek and Latin\nlanguages, and of literature and documents composed in either, and the histories, cultures and\nsocieties of those who used those languages as a mother-tongue or as a principal mode of\ndiscourse. The Faculty comprises the two Sub-Faculties of Greek and Latin Languages and\nLiterature and of Ancient History and Classical Archaeology and currently has 55 permanent\nacademic postholders. Faculty members also include researchers employed on fixed-term\ncontracts, and research and teaching staff employed by the colleges.\nLike most other Humanities Faculties in Oxford, undergraduate teaching in Classics is\norganised primarily by the colleges, which also manage undergraduate admissions and student\nwelfare. The Sub-Faculties and the Classics Faculty Board are responsible for devising the\nsyllabus in the relevant areas for undergraduate courses, for appointing examiners, and for\nproviding lectures and classes to complement the college teaching (known as tutorials). The\nFaculty Board controls the admission and supervision of graduate students through its\nGraduate Studies Committees. There are currently about 85 graduate students in Classical\nLanguages and literature, 65 graduate students in Ancient History and about 75 in Classical\nArchaeology (the latter are admitted though the Graduate Studies Committee of the School of\nArchaeology) reading for higher degrees (the MLitt and DPhil by thesis, and the MSt and MPhil\nwhich are normally a mixture of thesis and taught course).\nThe Faculty is based in the Ioannou Centre for Classical and Byzantine Studies, at 66 St Giles’,\nalthough many activities are also based in colleges. The Ioannou Centre is home to the Faculty\nAdministrative team, several of its research projects and a number of academic staff, including\nByzantine Studies and the Classics Language teaching staff. It includes facilities for graduates,\nand acts as a focal point for staff and graduate students in all aspects of Classical studies. It is\nopen throughout the year, and in addition to providing the space for teaching and research, it\nplays host to a range of seminars, conferences, school visits, exhibitions and other events.\nBeing in close proximity to the Sackler Library, the Ashmolean Museum, the Faculty of Oriental\n\n5\n\nStudies and the Faculty of Medieval and Modern Languages enhances the opportunities for\nthose working in the Faculty.\nFor more information please visit: http://www.classics.ox.ac.uk/.\n\nHow to apply\nApplications are made through our online recruitment portal.

This will involve development\nof image alignment methods, population template image generation, and brain pathology\nmodelling. All of this will be specific to longitudinal imaging, i.e., where we have more than one\ntimepoint imaging from each participant.\n\nBackground:\nThe FMRIB Analysis Group in Oxford is a leading research group in brain image analysis, and\nproduced FSL (FMRIB Software Library), the world’s most widely used research software that\nspans all the major structural and functional brain imaging modalities. FMRIB members Smith\nand Miller are the scientific leads of the brain imaging component of UK Biobank.\nFMRIB Oxford developed FBP (FMRIB Biobank Pipeline,) v1 for processing brain imaging data\non behalf of UKB. To date, we have processed ~60,000 participants’ timepoint1 datasets for\nrelease by UKB. This processing includes: semi-automated QC, image processing and artefact\nremoval, and estimation of over 4,000 IDPs - image-derived phenotypes, distinct measures of\nbrain structure and function, ranging from simple estimates of tissue volume to measures of\nfunctional connectivity between different brain regions. All seven brain imaging modalities are\nprocessed: T1, T2FLAIR and swMRI structural data, diffusion structural connectivity and tissue\nmicrostructure, resting and task functional data, and ASL blood flow. All enhancements to FBP\nv1 have been “backwards compatible” expansions, in order to maintain consistency with\nalready-released subjects’ IDPs, as new subjects are added. There are many aspects of the\npipeline that can be improved on, and we are now starting to design and create FBP v2,\nrevisiting all processing and algorithmic decisions to take advantage of advances in the field.\nThis new version will not be backwards compatible with v1, to allow for unconstrained optimal\ndesign.\nNone of the above includes modelling of longitudinal data. The modest number of existing\ntimepoint2 datasets (around 5,000) have been processed as if they were from new participants.\nOur proposal here is to develop longitudinal modelling as part of pipeline v2, which fits\nwell with the timing of the timepoint2 scanning, and pipeline v2 development. Using both\nthe existing and new pipeline components, we will process all timepoint2 data. We will then\nutilize these developments to study aging and later-life disease.\nA major goal of our group is to extend the reach of imaging neuroscience to take full advantage\nof the richness of the new big data imaging resources, such as: major advances in the quality of\ndata; complementarity of multi-modal imaging; large subject numbers; and linked information\nabout health outcomes, genetics, and risk factors. This requires new research across multiple\ndomains, including: integrated cross-modal analysis, particularized biologicallyinterpretable markers, machine learning, and modelling of variation in populations to the\ncharacterisation of individual subjects.\nSuccessful applicants will also have the opportunity to contribute to the next generation of FSL\ntools, which is the most widely used software toolbox that combines structural, functional, and\ndiffusion MRI analysis. FSL is used in more than 1000 universities and hospitals worldwide\n(160,000 downloads in the past 5 years).\nWe are looking for a postdoc with experience in image analysis novel methods development\nand software. Applicants will be expected to hold a PhD/DPhil in relevant quantitative area, as\nwell as have knowledge of statistics and/or Bayesian learning, and necessary mathematical and\ncomputational skills to put these into practice.

It is one of the UK’s leading Computer\nScience Departments (ranked first in a number of international rankings). Our Computer Science and\nInformatics submission to the UK Research Excellence Framework (REF) in December 2021 resulted\nin 81% of research activity ranked as 4* (world-leading) and the rest ranked as 3* (internationally\nexcellent). A significant majority of the Department are active in externally sponsored research, with\nboth government and industrial funding. At present, there are 74 members of academic staff and\n100 research staff.\nThe Department has close links with government, industry, and other departments within the\nUniversity. Among the latter are Mathematics, Engineering, Physics, Statistics and life sciences. The\nDepartment is housed across multiple sites within the University’s South Parks Road Science Area,\nfacilitating strong collaborative links with research groups and institutes in closely allied areas\n(including the Oxford Internet Institute and the Oxford e-Research Centre). At present, the\nDepartment holds over £50m in external research contracts.\nResearch in the Department is currently managed in ten themes:\n Algorithms & Complexity Theory, led by Professor Leslie Ann Goldberg, focusses on\ndetermining the inherent difficulty of computational problems, classifying problems\naccording to this inherent difficulty, and designing and analysing algorithms that use\ncomputational resources as efficiently as possible;\n Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning, led by Professor Michael Wooldridge, focuses on\ntheoretical foundations of AI, multiagent systems, deep learning, reinforcement learning\n,and computational linguistics;\n Automated Verification, led by Professor Marta Kwiatkowska, investigates theory and\npractice of formal verification and correct-by-construction synthesis for software and\nhardware systems;\n Computational Biology & Health Informatics, led by Professor Blanca Rodriquez , is\nconcerned with computational approaches for biomedical research and healthcare\ninnovation;\n Human-Centred Computing, led by Professor Nigel Shadbolt, includes human-computer\ninteraction, social computing, and the worldwide web;\n Data and Knowledge & Action, led by Professor Ian Horrocks, includes databases, knowledge\nrepresentation and reasoning;\n Programming Languages, led by Professor Sam Staton, includes functional programming,\nprogram analysis, and programming language foundations;\n Quantum, led by Professor Jonathan Barrett, focusses on quantum computing including\nquantum software, causality in quantum theory, quantum cryptography and foundations\nof quantum computing;\n Security, led by Professor Ivan Martinovic, specialises in cybersecurity, protocol analysis,\nsystems security, trusted computing, and networking.\n Systems, led by Professor Niki Trigoni, focusses especially on cyber physical systems. We plan\nto substantially broaden our research in systems to complement our existing research\nareas.\nFor more information, please visit: http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/.\nThe Department of Computer Science holds a bronze Athena Swan award to recognise advancement\nof gender equality: representation, progression and success for all.\n4\n\n7\n\nThe Mathematical, Physical, and Life Sciences Division (MPLS)\nThe Mathematical, Physical, and Life Sciences (MPLS) Division is one of the four academic divisions\nof the University. Oxford is widely recognised as one of the world's leading science universities and\nthe MPLS Division is home to our non-medical sciences, with 9 academic departments that span the\nfull spectrum of the mathematical, computational, physical, engineering and life sciences, and\nundertake both fundamental research and cutting-edge applied work. Our research tackles major\nsocietal and technological challenges – whether developing new energy solutions or improved\ncancer treatments, understanding climate change processes, or helping to preserve biodiversity, and\nis increasingly focused on key interdisciplinary issues. We collaborate closely with colleagues in\nOxford across the medical sciences, social sciences and humanities, and with other universities,\nresearch organisations and industrial partners across the globe in pursuit of innovative research\ngeared to address critical and fundamental scientific questions.\nMPLS is proud to be the home of some of the most creative and innovative scientific thinkers and\nleaders working in academe. Our senior researchers have been awarded some of the most\nsignificant scientific honours and we have a strong tradition of attracting and nurturing the very best\nearly career researchers who regularly secure prestigious fellowships and faculty positions. MPLS\ncontinues in its work to support diversity in its staffing, seeing that it will bring benefits to all, and we\nare pleased to note that all academic departments in the Division hold Athena Swan Awards.\nWe have around 7,000 full and part-time students (including approximately 3,500 graduate\nstudents) and play a major role in training the next generation of leading scientists. Oxford's\ninternational reputation for excellence in teaching is reflected in its position at the top of the major\nleague tables and subject assessments. MPLS academics educate students of high academic merit\nand potential from all over the world. Through a mixture of lectures, practical work and the\ndistinctive college tutorial system, students develop their ability to solve diverse mathematical,\nscientific and engineering problems.\nMPLS is dedicated to bringing the wonder and potential of science to the attention of audiences far\nbeyond the world of academia. We have a strong commitment to supporting public engagement in\nscience through initiatives including the Oxford Sparks portal (www.oxfordsparks.ox.ac.uk) and a\nlarge variety of outreach activities; these are crucial activities given so many societal and\ntechnological issues demand an understanding of the science that underpins them.

(These are as follows: Law, the Saïd\nBusiness School, Economics, Politics and International Relations, the Blavatnik School of Government,\nthe School of Anthropology and Museum Ethnography, International Development, Sociology, Social\nPolicy and Intervention, the Oxford Internet Institute, Archaeology, the School of Interdisciplinary Area\nStudies, Education, the School of Geography and the Environment and the Oxford Martin School.)\nInterdisciplinary links within and beyond the university are strong, extending to the humanities, natural\nsciences, and medical sciences.\nAcademic and research staff and research students are engaged in world-leading research that\nchallenges current ideas and theories and is tackling some of the major challenges facing humanity,\nsuch as sustainable resource management, migration, governance, poverty and development, and\njustice. REF 2014 confirmed Oxford as the UK powerhouse for research in the social sciences, where\nOxford accounted for more world-leading (4*) research than any other institution, across the social\nsciences units of assessment to which it made submissions. The division has an extensive portfolio of\nexternal funders and collaborators, with competitively-awarded external research income exceeding\n\nUNIVERSITY OF OXFORD\nDEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION\n15 Norham Gardens, Oxford OX2 6PY\nWeb: www.education.ox.ac.uk Email: hr@education.ox.ac.uk\n\n£40million per year.

Programmes range from those at the interface of the\nnatural sciences, through to professionally-oriented provision in areas such as business, law and\neducation.

We have an exciting opportunity to join Professor Ekaterina Hertog to work on her project “The Promise of AI in Childcare: Comparative Analysis of Parental Control Apps to Support the Work of Childcare” at the Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford.  

\n
This project examines monitoring technologies, often referred to as “parental control apps”, and how parents make use of them to help them with the work involved in childcare. 

\n
The research assistant will work under Professor Ekaterina Hertog’s guidance and scrape data from Google and Apple app stores to get a basic picture on the use of parental control apps (apps used to monitor children (often by their parents), children’s online behaviours and sometimes offline behaviours (like tracking kids with a map app).

\n
Skills required:

\n

    \n
  • Strong proficiency in Python and related libraries such as BeautifulSoup and Selenium 

  • \n
  • Experience in web scraping using Python and related libraries

  • \n
  • Understanding of HTTP requests and responses, web page structure, and HTML/CSS 

  • \n
  • Knowledge of Git and version control systems

  • \n
  • Experience with Natural Language Processing in Python: the candidate will need to be able to pre-process a large body of parental control app reviews in multiple languages and then carry out topic modelling of the reviews using packages, such as BERTopic.

  • \n

\n
To give you an example: have a look at this paper on fertility apps: https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/2va3n/

\n
Professor Ekaterina Hertog’s would like to do similar kind of work, but for parental control apps.

\n
 

\n
This is a variable hours role, starting as soon as possible thereafter.  

\n
 

\n
You will have an opportunity to contribute to a resulting research paper that will aim to answer the following questions: 

\n
RQ1: How do cultural factors influence the use of parental control apps, as reflected in user reviews across different countries or language groups? 

\n
RQ2: Are there differences between parents and children’s perceptions?

\n
 

\n

We aim to lead the world in research and education for the\nbenefit of society both in the UK and globally. Oxford’s researchers engage with academic, commercial\nand cultural partners across the world to stimulate high-quality research and enable innovation through\na broad range of social, policy and economic impacts.\nWe believe our strengths lie both in empowering individuals and teams to address fundamental\nquestions of global significance, while providing all our staff with a welcoming and inclusive workplace\nthat enables everyone to develop and do their best work. Recognising that diversity is our strength, vital\nfor innovation and creativity, we aspire to build a truly diverse community which values and respects\nevery individual’s unique contribution.\nWhile we have long traditions of scholarship, we are also forward-looking, creative and cutting-edge.\nOxford is one of Europe's most entrepreneurial universities and we rank first in the UK for university\nspin-outs, and in recent years we have spun out 15-20 new companies every year. We are also\nrecognised as leaders in support for social enterprise.\n\nJoin us and you will find a unique, democratic and international community, a great range of staff\nbenefits and access to a vibrant array of cultural activities in the beautiful city of Oxford.\nFor more information, please visit www.ox.ac.uk/about/organisation.\n\nThe Oxford Internet Institute (OII)\nThe Oxford Internet Institute – founded in 2001 - is a multidisciplinary research and teaching\ndepartment of the University of Oxford, dedicated to the social science of the Internet.\nDigital connections are now embedded in almost every aspect of our daily lives, and research on\nindividual and collective behaviour online is crucial to understanding our social, economic, and political\nworld.\no Research: We have unprecedented access to a huge volume of rich social data, and are\n\ndeveloping new theories, concepts and methods to analyse it.\no Teaching: Our Masters and doctoral programmes bring students from all over the\nworld, to work with our faculty at the cutting edge of their fields.\no Policy: We provide the empirical data and conceptual analysis that is so needed to\ndesign policy solutions to societal problems.\nOur academic faculty and graduate students are drawn from many different disciplines: we believe this\ncombined approach is essential to tackle society’s ‘big questions’. Together, we aim to positively shape\nthe development of our digital world for the public good.\nThe OII aims to operate at the cutting edge in both quantitative, qualitative and computational\nmethodologies that cut across disciplines and topics. The core of our activity is to develop rigorous peerreviewed research and disseminate the outputs in high-quality journals, while working together with\npartners and stakeholders to inform and shape policy and practice.\nOur research focuses on areas critical to the public interest and in many cases to advancing fairness in\ntechnology. Our research has already delivered significant impact. Our faculty were among the first to\ndraw the world’s attention to “fake news” and defined the concept of “big data”. They have undertaken\nground-breaking research into technology and wellbeing using real-time industry data and persuaded\nmajor global firms to adopt new methods and practices. OII researchers have developed the first global\nratings system for firms operating in the gig economy and had a significant role in influencing the online\nharms debate in the UK.\nOur four teaching programmes graduate around 80 students a year across our two Masters\nprogrammes in addition to around seven doctoral students. Many of our talented alumni go on to\nperform important roles and achieve significant accomplishments in the world of policymaking,\ntechnology development, civil society and academia.\nIn 2025, the OII will take up residence in the new Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities, moving from\nour current location across three sites on St Giles.\nFor more information about the Oxford Internet Institute please visit https://www.oii.ox.ac.uk/.\n\nThe Social Sciences Division\nThe University’s academic departments and faculties are organised into four large groups known as\nAcademic Divisions (Social Sciences, Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences (MPLS), Medical Sciences,\nand Humanities). The divisions are responsible for academic strategy and operational planning,\noversight of the teaching and research of their constituent departments and faculties, and for personnel\nand resource management. The social sciences at Oxford are distinctive for both their depth and\nbreadth, with over 1,100 academic and research staff working across fifteen departments, faculties and\nschools. The Head of the Social Sciences Division is Professor Timothy Power.\nThe Division is a world-leading centre of research and education in the social sciences. The Times Higher\nEducation (THE) University Rankings returned the University of Oxford to the number one spot in the\nworld for Social Sciences in 2022. We have placed first in three of the last five years (2018, 2019 and\n2022). More than 800 researchers were returned to Main Panel C (Social Sciences) for REF 2021 across\na diverse range of subject area ‘units of assessment’ – from geography and business to archaeology and\nlaw. Over 55% of the research submitted from the Division was judged to be world-leading (4*, the\nhighest score available). More than two-thirds (69%) of the research’s impact was also recognised as\nworld-leading (4*). Research from across the Division was also submitted to subject areas across Panels\nA (Medicine, health and life sciences), B (Physical sciences, engineering and mathematics), and D (Arts\nand Humanities), highlighting the enormous breadth and diversity of research expertise across the\nDivision.\nOur academic and research staff and students are international thought leaders, generating new\nevidence, insights and policy tools with which to address some of the major global challenges facing\nhumanity, such as sustainable resource management, poverty and forced migration, effective\ngovernance and justice. Particular research highlights in recent years have included COVID-19 and\nClimate Change. As well as active interdisciplinary links with researchers in other divisions at Oxford, we\nengage 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\ndevelopment and education around the world. The Division has an extensive portfolio of external\nfunders, partners and supporters, with competitively-awarded external research income exceeding £50\nmillion per year and philanthropic income over £25 million a year. As part of our commitment to\nequality of opportunity, eight of our departments have achieved bronze Athena SWAN awards (a UK\naccreditation scheme recognising organisations’ commitment to equality and diversity, particularly in\ngender): Archaeology, the Blavatnik School of Government, Economics, Education, International\nDevelopment, Law, Anthropology & Museum Ethnography, and the Saïd Business School. Our School of\nGeography and the Environment holds an Athena SWAN silver award. All of our other departments are\neither in the process of applying or are scheduled to do so shortly.\nThe Division delivers an exceptional range of high-quality educational programmes all underpinned by\nthe innovative research being undertaken by our academics. The student body is made up of over 2,000\nundergraduate students, nearly 3,000 students studying postgraduate taught programmes and 1,200\npostgraduate research students. The programmes we offer are wide-ranging, often interdisciplinary and\ninclude professionally-oriented provision in areas such as business, law and education. The Division is\nhome to several of Oxford’s most widely recognised teaching programmes, such as Philosophy, Politics\nand Economics (PPE) at undergraduate level; and at the Masters level programmes such as the Bachelor\nin Civil Law (BCL), Environmental Change and Management, International Relations, and Social Data\nScience.\nFor more information, please visit: www.socsci.ox.ac.uk.\n\nHow to apply\nApplications are made through our online recruitment portal.

To realise this ambition, the CMD is forming extensive collaborations with\nacademics across the University of Oxford and beyond to help translate basic science into new drug\ndiscovery projects, as well as partnerships with industry to develop drug leads into new medicines. We\nare seeking a Senior Programme Manager and Scientific Coordinator to help to manage and expand\nthis portfolio, particularly in the fields of neuroscience and rare diseases. You will be a highly motivated\nindividual with excellent organisational and communication skills and a strong scientific background in\na relevant area of biology or chemistry, whether from past academic, industrial or clinical training.\nThis leadership role presents an exciting opportunity to engage with a large number of world-leading\nacademics and clinicians, as well as funders and industry representatives on a diverse portfolio of\nprojects. You will help to establish strategic alliances for the department, help to write funding\napplications for new projects and contribute to their successful project management. You will be\nexpected to supervise an associated project manager and will have the support of other Senior\nProgramme Managers and Principal Investigators in the department. Successful projects will have a\nclear research and financial path to the clinic.\nThe Centre for Medicines Discovery has a wide range of early drug discovery capabilities, including\nprotein production, structural biology and drug design, high-throughput screening, high-throughput\nfunctional genomics, mass spectrometry, synthetic and medicinal chemistry, functional cell biology, and\nresearch informatics. While largely disease agnostic, it has significant interests in neuroscience, rare\ndiseases, oncology, and anti-infectives. This includes participation in several major initiatives such as\nthe NIHR Oxford Biomedical Research Centre (NIHR Oxford BRC), the Alzheimer’s Research UK\nOxford Drug Discovery Institute (ARUK-ODDI), the public-private EUbOPEN consortium and several\nconsortia for pandemic preparedness. Founded in 2007 as a partnership between the University of\nOxford and Oxford University Hospitals, the NIHR Oxford BRC aims to translate scientific breakthroughs\ninto potential new treatments. It is therefore a major strategic partner for this post and the CMD. The\nARUK-ODDI focuses on novel therapeutic targets for dementia and brings together researchers from\nBiology, Chemistry, Psychiatry, and Neuroscience. The institute is one of three drug discovery institutes,\nsponsored by Alzheimer’s Research UK. The EU-funded IMI2 project, “EUbOPEN”, which involves 22\npartners from academia and industry, aims to generate small molecule ligands for druggable protein\nfamilies, including ubiquitin ligases (E3s) which can be exploited by small molecule PROTACs for\ntargeted protein degradation. Finally, the CMD was a key driver of the COVID Moonshot project.\nWorking with more than 200 scientists worldwide, the CMD helped to deliver a novel inhibitor of the\nmain protease of SARS-CoV-2 which was published in Science in November 2023. The lead candidate\nshows excellent antiviral activity and is now in pre-clinical evaluation in collaboration with the Drugs for\nNeglected Disease initiative (DNDi).

The academic divisions are responsible for\nacademic oversight of the teaching and research of their constituent departments and\nfaculties, for strategic and operational planning, and for personnel and resource\nmanagement. The Head of the Social Sciences Division is Professor Timothy Power, who is a\nmember of the University’s Council.The Social Sciences Division is a world-leading centre of\nresearch and education in the social sciences. The social sciences at Oxford are distinctive\nfor both their depth and breadth, with activity spanning fourteen departments and faculties\nand one cross-divisional unit. (These are as follows: Law, the Saïd Business School,\nEconomics, Politics and International Relations, the Blavatnik School of Government, the\nSchool of Anthropology and Museum Ethnography, International Development, Sociology,\nSocial Policy and Intervention, the Oxford Internet Institute, Archaeology, the School of\nInterdisciplinary Area Studies, Education, the School of Geography and the Environment and\nthe Oxford Martin School.) Interdisciplinary links within and beyond the university are strong,\nextending to the humanities, natural sciences, and medical sciences.\nAcademic and research staff and research students are engaged in world-leading research\nthat challenges current ideas and theories and is tackling some of the major challenges\nfacing humanity, such as sustainable resource management, migration, governance, poverty\nand development, and justice. REF 2014 confirmed Oxford as the UK powerhouse for\nresearch in the social sciences, where Oxford accounted for more world-leading (4*)\nresearch than any other institution, across the social sciences units of assessment to which\nit made submissions. The division has an extensive portfolio of external funders and\ncollaborators, with competitively-awarded external research income exceeding £40million\nper year. Researchers in the division engage actively beyond academia and their research\nhas influence in many spheres from innovation in public policymaking to practitioner\ncommunities such as law, business, education, social welfare and NGOs.\nThe division also delivers an exceptional range of high quality educational programmes\n(undergraduate, postgraduate taught and postgraduate research), all of which are\nunderpinned by the innovative research being undertaken by our academics. Programmes\nrange from those at the interface of the natural sciences, through to professionally-oriented\nprovision in areas such as business, law and education. The division is home to several of\nOxford’s most widely recognised teaching programmes, such as Philosophy, Politics and\nEconomics (PPE); the BCL; the MPhils in International Relations, in Economics, and in\nDevelopment Studies; the MBA and EMBA; and the nationally regarded PGCE.\n\n8\n\nFor more information please visit: http://www.socsci.ox.ac.uk/\n\nHow to apply\nApplications are made through our online recruitment portal.

The Department is also home to several specialised economics research centres, including the\nworld-renowned Centre for the Study of African Economies.\nEconomists in Oxford are not confined to the Department of Economics, but are also present in other places\nincluding the Said Business School, the Blavatnik School of Government and the Oxford Internet Institute and\ncandidates may well also find researchers with related interests outside the Department. In the most recent\nResearch Assessment Exercise (REF 2021) Oxford submitted the largest number of researchers of all UK institutions\nto the Economics and Econometrics Unit of Assessment (UoA). Over half of submitted outputs, impact case studies\nand environment statements received the highest grade of 4*.\nMembers of the Department provide economics teaching for three undergraduate programmes (including Oxford’s\nflagship Philosophy, Politics and Economics degree) and five graduate programmes including the MPhil and DPhil in\nEconomics, with a total of around 1000 undergraduates and 330 graduate students.\nFor more information please visit: www.economics.ox.ac.uk.\n\nSocial Sciences Division\nThe University’s academic departments and faculties are organised into four large groups known as Academic\nDivisions (Social Sciences, Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences (MPLS), Medical Sciences, and Humanities).\nThe divisions are responsible for academic strategy and operational planning, oversight of the teaching and\nresearch of their constituent departments and faculties, and for personnel and resource management.

Over 55% of the research submitted from the Division was judged to be world-leading (4*, the\nhighest score available). More than two-thirds (69%) of the research’s impact was also recognised as\nworld-leading (4*). Research from across the Division was also submitted to subject areas across Panels\nA (Medicine, health and life sciences), B (Physical sciences, engineering and mathematics), and D (Arts\nand Humanities), highlighting the enormous breadth and diversity of research expertise across the\nDivision.\nOur academic and research staff and students are international thought leaders, generating new evidence, insights\nand policy tools with which to address some of the major global challenges facing humanity, such as sustainable\n172054 - JD\n\n4\n\nresource management, poverty and forced migration, effective governance and justice. Particular research\nhighlights in recent years have included COVID-19 and Climate Change. As well as active interdisciplinary links with\nresearchers in other divisions at Oxford, we engage and collaborate extensively with other universities and a wide\nrange of governmental and non-governmental practitioner communities such as law, business, public health and\nwelfare, international development and education around the world. The Division has an extensive portfolio of\nexternal funders, partners and supporters, with competitively-awarded external research income exceeding £50\nmillion per year and philanthropic income over £25 million a year.\nAs part of our commitment to equality of opportunity, eleven of our departments have achieved Bronze awards\nunder the Athena Swan Charter (a UK accreditation scheme recognising organisations’ commitment to equality and\ndiversity, particularly in gender). Our School of Geography and the Environment holds an Athena Swan Silver award.\nIn February 2023, for the first time, the University as a whole was awarded an institutional Athena Swan Silver\naward, acknowledging the progress that has been made in addressing a number of gender gaps across the University\nover the last five years.\nThe Division delivers an exceptional range of high-quality educational programmes all underpinned by the\ninnovative research being undertaken by our academics. The student body is made up of over 2,000\nundergraduate students, nearly 3,000 students studying postgraduate taught programmes and 1,200\npostgraduate research students. The programmes we offer are wide-ranging, often interdisciplinary and include\nprofessionally-oriented provision in areas such as business, law and education.
