Further information about the Blavatnik School of Government Our vision is of a world better led, a world better served and a world better governed. We are a global school committed to improving the quality of government and public policymaking worldwide, through three routes: teaching current and future leaders; applied research; and engagement with government and practitioners. The School is one of the youngest and most vibrant departments of the University of Oxford. It was founded in 2010, thanks to a £75 million donation by American philanthropist Leonard Blavatnik. We accept around 140 MPP (Master of Public Policy) students and five doctoral students a year. Uniquely, the School is anchored across all four of the academic divisions of the University: the social sciences; humanities; mathematics, physical and life sciences; and medical sciences. The School's goal is to improve 5 the quality of government and public policy-making worldwide, so that citizens can enjoy more secure and more fulfilled lives. It is pursuing this goal through three priorities: • Teaching: delivering transformative teaching programmes that combine deep expertise with analytical thinking and practical skills. • Research: producing and communicating rigorous applied research, often in collaboration with public and private sector innovators, which addresses urgent policy challenges. • Engagement: forging networks that enable policy leaders to learn from each other and from top scholars to generate solutions and to share best practice. Teaching programmes The School has four education programmes: • The Master of Public Policy (MPP) is an intensive one-year graduate degree, taking a broad view of how public policy is made, implemented and evaluated at local, regional and global levels. The School actively seeks out the smartest, most impactful future and current practitioners from every region of the world and builds a strong, purposeful community among them. • The MSc in Public Policy Research provides an additional year of study to those who have completed the components of the MPP, who learn how to conduct robust, applied and impactful research that can inform public policy-making – whether by clarifying the nature, extent and cause of major policy problems or by developing evidence-based strategies for their mitigation. • The Doctorate in Public Policy (DPhil) is a full-time three-year applied research degree. The School seeks scholars keen to pursue academically rigorous applied research on a public policy issue. • The School's executive programmes, workshops, and fellows' programmes offer opportunities for senior professionals and policymakers to access cutting edge research, to reflect on their own experience, and to develop a community of practice with peers from other countries. For further details, visit http://www.bsg.ox.ac.uk/study Research programmes The School is continuing to appoint outstanding scholars who are leading dynamic research programmes in areas including: economic growth and resilience; governance, democracy, cooperation and law; health, education, welfare and well-being; science, technology, climate change and public policy; security and conflict. The School also draws on extensive intellectual networks both within Oxford and internationally to ensure it keeps at the cutting edge of inter-disciplinary and global knowledge and on cross-sector partnerships with individuals and organisations to remain practice-oriented and solution-focused. The School recognises that there are many different forms of leadership, a range of views about democracy, and diverse cultures in which people operate. Equally, there is a variety of methods and disciplines which can be used to interrogate challenges of government. That is why the research in the School spans the local to the global, and several disciplines, in terms of the types of challenges addressed and the ways that in which they are approached. http://www.bsg.ox.ac.uk/research 6 At the School, we treat everyone with dignity and respect; and are comfortable working with people from diverse backgrounds and with different perspectives. The School is committed to equality and valuing diversity. For more information about the School, please visit: https://www.bsg.ox.ac.uk/ Social Sciences Division The University’s academic departments and faculties are organised into four large groups known as Academic Divisions (Social Sciences, Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences (MPLS), Medical Sciences, and Humanities). The divisions are responsible for academic strategy and operational planning, oversight of the teaching and research of their constituent departments and faculties, and for personnel and resource management. The social sciences at Oxford are distinctive for both their depth and breadth, with over 1,100 academic and research staff working across fifteen departments, faculties and schools. The Head of the Social Sciences Division is Professor Timothy Power. The Division is a world-leading centre of research and education in the social sciences. The Times Higher Education (THE) University Rankings returned the University of Oxford to the number one spot in the world for Social Sciences in 2022. We have placed first in three of the last five years (2018, 2019 and 2022). More than 800 researchers were returned to Main Panel C (Social Sciences) for REF 2021 across a diverse range of subject area ‘units of assessment’ – from geography and business to archaeology and law. Over 55% of the research submitted from the Division was judged to be world-leading (4*, the highest score available). More than two-thirds (69%) of the research’s impact was also recognised as world-leading (4*). Research from across the Division was also submitted to subject areas across Panels A (Medicine, health and life sciences), B (Physical sciences, engineering and mathematics), and D (Arts and Humanities), highlighting the enormous breadth and diversity of research expertise across the Division. Our academic and research staff and students are international thought leaders, generating new evidence, insights and policy tools with which to address some of the major global challenges facing humanity, such as sustainable resource management, poverty and forced migration, effective governance and justice. Particular research highlights in recent years have included COVID-19 and Climate Change. As well as active interdisciplinary links with researchers in other divisions at Oxford, we engage and collaborate extensively with other universities and a wide range of governmental and nongovernmental practitioner communities such as law, business, public health and welfare, international development and education around the world. The Division has an extensive portfolio of external funders, partners and supporters, with competitively-awarded external research income exceeding £50 million per year and philanthropic income over £25 million a year. As part of our commitment to equality of opportunity, eleven of our departments have achieved Bronze awards under the Athena Swan Charter (a UK accreditation scheme recognising organisations’ commitment to equality and diversity, particularly in gender). Our School of Geography and the 10 October 2023 Environment holds an Athena Swan Silver award. In February 2023, for the first time, the University as a whole was awarded an institutional Athena Swan Silver award, acknowledging the progress that has been made in addressing a number of gender gaps across the University over the last five years. The Division delivers an exceptional range of high-quality educational programmes all underpinned by the innovative research being undertaken by our academics. The student body is made up of over 2,000 undergraduate students, nearly 3,000 students studying postgraduate taught programmes and 1,200 postgraduate research students. The programmes we offer are wide-ranging, often interdisciplinary and 7 include professionally-oriented provision in areas such as business, law and education. The Division is home to several of Oxford’s most widely recognised teaching programmes, such as Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) at undergraduate level; and at the Masters level programmes such as the Bachelor in Civil Law (BCL), Environmental Change and Management, International Relations, and Social Data Science.

Exeter College At just over seven hundred years old, Exeter College is the fourth oldest of the 42 constituent Colleges and Halls of the University of Oxford. Its Governing Body is made up of the Rector and 59 Fellows, all of whom 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 up 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 social sciences, humanities, medicine, and the natural sciences. The 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 centre of the College is located on the corner of Broad Street and Turl Street in the heart of the city, and in early 2017 we opened an ambitious third quadrangle (the ‘Cohen Quadrangle’) in Walton Street, just a few minutes’ walk from the Turl Street site and a very near neighbour to the Blavatnik School of Government’s building. The Cohen Quadrangle includes seminar rooms, residential facilities, and study and social space. Exeter’s working environment is very congenial, and the College has a reputation for being small and friendly, as well as for maintaining consistently high academic standards. the strategic aims are to support excellence in the achievement of all its members, actively to seek to enhance diversity (in many forms) within 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 to enhance our international connections in teaching and research. Within the Fellowship, we seek to foster a lively and creative community of world-class academics, which remains self-governing and has the resources to ensure that busy and creative academics benefit from their membership of the College. Law and Public Policy at Exeter College Exeter has a strong tradition in law and the social sciences. The College has 20 undergraduate Jurisprudence (Law) students in residence at any time, several of whom pursue the 4-year programme which involves a year abroad spent abroad studying European law. We have 21 Philosophy, Politics, & Economics undergraduates, and 12 studying Economics & Management. Moreover, many of our visiting undergraduate students choose to take courses in these subject areas. Our vibrant community of graduate students includes a wide range of social sciences disciplines, and several students each year enrol for the BCL degree or the Master’s in Public Policy. The College has two Tutorial Fellows (Associate Professors / Professors) in Law: Professor Jonathan Herring, who is an expert on is an expert on criminal, family, and medical law; and Professor Rachel Taylor, whose research interests are primarily in family law. In addition, we have a Career Development Fellow, Dr Heloise Robinson, who specialises in medical law and ethics. Other Tutorial Fellows in social science subjects include Dr Michael Hart (Politics), Dr Agni Orfanoudaki Management), and Dr Dan Quigley (Economics); a new Tutorial Fellowship in Economics is being created 8 from 2024. Other Associate Professors who are Fellows of the College include Dr Chris Russell (AI, Government, and Policy), and Professor Kejia Hu (Management Science). The College’s Rector, Professor Sir Rick Trainor, has a keen interest in public policy questions and is an expert on 19th and 20th century British elites. The Senior Tutor, Dr Chris Ballinger, works on questions of politics, parliaments, and constitutional law. The College’s many former students who have enjoyed highly successful careers in Law and Public Policy include: Joseph S. Nye Jr., Harvard University Distinguished Service Professor, and former Dean of Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government; HE John Agyekum Kufuor, President of the Republic of Ghana (2001–2009); and Sir Sydney Kentridge, KCMG, QC, the distinguished lawyer. The College fosters very active links between its current students and its alumni. Research, teaching and other duties The successful candidate will have no formal teaching requirements for Exeter, but our hope is that they will nonetheless wish fully and actively to participate in the fostering of the scholarly community within the 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 at the Blavatnik School of Government and will act as a College Adviser (a pastoral and mentoring role) to these students. Nature of College appointment The successful candidate will be elected to a non-stipendiary Fellowship by Special Election. Whilst the holding of this Fellowship will not constitute an employment with Exeter College (rather, it represents an association with the College through which the Fellow can enjoy the academic entitlement to a College Fellowship as part of their Associate Professorship, as well as all the academic and other benefits of being part of a wider, multi-disciplinary college community), it is nonetheless a full Fellowship of the College, and comes with membership of Governing Body and therefore an expectation that the postholder will participate appropriately in the governance and administration of the College, including exercising the fiduciary duties of a charity trustee towards the running of the College, which is a registered charity. As a member of the Governing Body of the Exeter College, the postholder will be a Trustee of the charity. As such, candidates must ensure that they are eligible to act as a charity trustee in the UK, and that there is no reason why they would be disqualified from acting as such. Further information can be obtained from the College’s HR Manager (vacancies@exeter.ox.ac.uk). The Fellowship also includes: • • Membership of the Senior Common Room of the College. The Fellow is entitled to lunch and dinner free of charge at the Common Table at Exeter College on each day for which the Governing Body makes such provision (in practice, this normally includes free lunches and dinners on every weekday in Term and outside Term, and on every Sunday evening during Term). An annual research expenses budget from the College (currently £800 per annum). This is reclaimed through expenses, rather than being paid as salary. Non-tutorial Fellows are not provided with their own office space in College; however, they will have full access to the College’s facilities on both the Turl Street and Cohen Quad sites, including common rooms, bookable seminar rooms, bookable guest rooms, and a shared hot-desking room in Turl Street. The appointment to a Fellowship of the College is contingent on remaining in post as Associate Professor of Law & Public Policy: should the successful candidate’s employment with the Blavatnik School terminate for any reason then the College Fellowship will automatically terminate from the same date. 9 About the University of Oxford Oxford’s departments and colleges aim to lead the world in research and education for the benefit of society both in the UK and globally.

Offer of employment Applications for this post will be considered by a selection committee containing representatives from both the Blavatnik School of Government and Exeter College. The selection committee is responsible for conducting all aspects of the recruitment and selection process; it does not, however, have the authority to make the final decision as to who should be appointed. The final decision will be made by the Social Sciences divisional board and the Governing Body of Exeter 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. 13 """^^ .
