Keble College was founded in 1870 and is one of the larger colleges in the University, with a total of over 1000 students, roughly balanced in numbers between undergraduates and graduates. The main College site is located in Parks Road, opposite the University Museum and near the Science Area. There is also a graduate centre, the H B Allen Centre, found just to the north of the main site on Banbury Road and opened in 2018. The college's founders intended not only that it should carry forward the aims of John Keble and the Oxford Movement, but also that its foundation would enable the University to open its doors to a wider social mix of undergraduates than was possible at the time. This remains one of the college's commitments, alongside the encouragement of excellence in teaching and research, and the development of the full potential of all its members. There are currently around 50 Fellows drawn from the University’s four main Divisions. Those whose research interests may be cognate with the Associate Professorship include Professor Alfonso Bueno Orovio (Computational Biology and Health Informatics), Professor Bernardo Cuenca Grau (Artificial Intelligence) and Professor Gesine Reinert (Statistics and Bioinformatics). In Medical Sciences Division there are three Professorial Fellows, Professor Chas Bountra (Translational Medicine), Professor Rob Klose (Genetics) and Professor Jeremy Tomlinson (Metabolic Endocrinology), and two Tutorial Fellows, Dr Simon Butt (Neuroscience), and Professor Ulrike Gruneberg (Molecular cell Biology). The Warden, Dr Sir Michael Jacobs, was previously Clinical Director of Infection at the Royal Free Hospital. The College welcomes and expects the active participation of fellows in all aspects of college life. The fellowship is non-stipendiary, but the appointee will be eligible for a small academic allowance. There are no teaching duties for the College. Keble may expect them to share in being College adviser to graduate students in relevant subjects (a small entertainment allowance is payable to assist in this). Regular interdisciplinary graduate discussion evenings are already held with the purpose of promoting greater science/arts understanding and the College hopes that professorial fellows will assist in fostering this culture within the college. They may apply to the College’s Research Committee for funding to support workshops, symposia, and visiting academics. They will be a full member of the Senior Common Room and be entitled to free meals in college whenever the kitchens are open. The College is currently not able to provide non-tutorial fellows with rooms in 9 college. However, the person appointed will be able to book rooms in college for teaching and other academic activities. Keble is well-equipped with teaching rooms and public rooms, including the new facilities at the H B Allen Centre. The appointee may join the college's health insurance scheme at their own cost.

The final decision will be made by the Medical Sciences Divisional Board and the Governing Body of Keble College on the basis of a recommendation made by the selection committee. No offer of appointment will be valid, therefore, until and unless the recommendation has been approved by both the divisional board and the governing body, and a formal contractual offer has been made. 14 """^^ .
