Job Description _________________________________________________________________________ Summary Job title Postdoctoral Researcher Division Social Sciences Department Centre for Socio-Legal Studies, Faculty of Law Location Manor Road Building, Manor Road Grade and salary Grade 7: £36,024 - £44,263 per annum pro rata Hours Part time (0.8 FTE) Contract type Fixed-term until 28 February 2025 Reporting to Dr Sonia Macleod Vacancy reference 168518 Closing date Midday on Wednesday 8 November 2023 Interview date Interviews will be held on Thursday 16 November 2023 The role The COVID pandemic has led to the rapid development of a number of COVID vaccines. In turn this has led to the proliferation of no-fault compensation schemes to provide redress in the event of an adverse event due to a COVID vaccine. Phase I of the No-Fault Compensation (NFC) Project has focussed on categorising all known worldwide COVID NFCS (138 were found). This has included gathering data on: the scheme’s statutory or other underpinnings; how they are administered; how they are funded; which vaccines are covered; eligibility criteria for compensation (including which injuries are compensated; temporal coincidence requirements between vaccination and injury, the standard of proof applied, limitation periods, de minimis thresholds, etc); the types of damage under which compensation is provided; the quantum of damages, (individualised, tariff based, etc); appeal mechanisms; and scheme accessibility and transparency. The initial output, is a searchable website/database that provides key design metrics for each NFCS and allows for basic comparisons on a limited number of fields. https://www.law.ox.ac.uk/no-fault-compensation-schemes-covid-19-vaccines This project is currently in phase II. This phase focusses on evaluating how these NFCS are actually performing by collecting key performance metrics from a 20+ schemes. Phase I was focussed solely on the NFCS itself. In contrast Phase II is a more complex task, which requires careful consideration not just of the NFCS but also of the wider social context in which they are operating, for example do long-established schemes have a greater level of claiming than newer schemes? Does the option to litigate impact on NFCS update? As we move forward to phase III (in March 2024) we will consider how NFCS impact on society move widely, particularly looking at vaccine hesitancy and scepticism.

The post holder is a member of a research group with responsibility for planning and carrying out research, particularly on vaccine hesitancy and vaccine scepticism. The post holder provides guidance to the wider research group, including collaborators, funders, and visiting students. Responsibilities • Manage own academic research and administrative activities.

Our researchers study law as a historical and culturally specific mode of social organisation that takes a variety of forms within and across societies. Our expert staff bring together a wide variety of disciplinary expertise including law, sociology, anthropology, politics, international relations, human rights, economics, geography and art history to examine the interface of law and society. Staff at the Centre also have area expertise in Eastern Europe, Africa, Australia, Asia and the US. Researchers at the Centre specialise in theoretically informed studies of law in action and much of our work draws on expertise in interviewing, participant observation, oral history, focus groups, surveys, discourse analysis and statistical analysis of data. Our core staff of experienced Professors, Associate Professors and Post-doctoral fellows are complemented by 25 research students who form the largest collection of socio-legal students in one academic unit in the UK. In the informal and relaxed atmosphere of the Centre we teach and supervise graduate research students at both Master’s and doctoral level. Our students are international in their backgrounds and outlook as well as being diverse in their academic qualifications. They bring exciting and fresh ideas to our research clusters and their commitment and energy contribute substantially to our success. The Centre is also an ideal base for post-doctoral scholars who wish to receive specialist mentoring, develop their projects, gain academic experience, and launch their careers. Members of our community conduct research into the socio-legal dynamics of some of the most pressing political questions of the day, such as human rights, technologies and social media; comparative legal cultures; access to justice; governance of environmental resources; ethical business regulation; the migration crisis and cultural expertise; legal ideology and religion; and the management of counter terrorism cases in the courts. The Centre has a select number of research associates and a lively visitors’ programme. Faculty of Law The Faculty of Law in the University of Oxford is the largest Law Faculty in the UK. It is a federation of thirty law schools in the colleges of the University.

The Law Faculty has a distinguished reputation in research and publications in Law. There are five specialised centres associated with the Law Faculty: the Centre for Socio-Legal Studies, the Centre for Criminology, the Institute of European and Comparative Law, the Oxford Intellectual Property Research Centre and the Bonavero Institute of Human Rights. Oxford is consistently listed in the top three for law in the leading guides to British and international universities.

We believe that excellence in teaching and research is synergistic and remain committed to sustaining and developing the high quality of our activities in both these areas. Our departments are committed to research which develops a greater understanding of all aspects of society, from the impact of political, legal and economic systems on social and economic welfare to human rights and security.
