About the Masters in Education (Higher Education) The MSc Education (Higher Education) at the University of Oxford is aimed at future academic, policy, and practitioner leaders in higher education (HE) and tertiary education. It provides a critical introduction to research, theory, and policy in this complex field, taking into account a range of national, international and global lenses. The course covers a wide range of issues that higher and tertiary education systems around the world are facing today, including internationalisation, student and graduate outcomes, skills supply and demand, and employability, governance, research policy and assessment, access and social justice, fees and funding, and rankings. Students on the course are people at different stages in their professional lives – from recent graduates, those hoping to forge an academic career the field, to those who have established careers in a wide range of educational, policy, and professional contexts. Graduates of the programme tend to continue onto doctoral research and academic careers, or take positions in tertiary or higher education management, administration, and policy-formation. The course consists of six modules and a dissertation. These papers are taken during the first two terms. In their third term, students undertake work towards the production of a dissertation of between 15,000 and 20,000 words (including footnotes/endnotes but excluding appendices and references or bibliography). You can obtain further information on the course by visiting: https://www.education.ox.ac.uk/study/msc-education/ About the Centre for Global Higher Education (CGHE) The Centre for Global Higher Education (CGHE) is a research centre focused on higher education and its future. Its objectives are to conduct, disseminate and publish basic and applied research in three integrated programmes of work, relating to global, national (UK) and local perspectives on higher education; to develop theory about higher education and methods of inquiry and research; to respond to new issues arising within the frame of the three programmes, and at the interfaces between them; to facilitate broad academic and policy discussion about higher education in the UK and across the world; and to build long-term capacity in UK social science research on higher education. CGHE is a partnership of six UK universities and eight international universities led by the University of Oxford. CGHE’s offshore partners are located in Ireland, Netherlands, South Africa, the United States, Australia, China, Hong Kong SAR and Japan. Its UK partners are University College London, Lancaster University, the University of Sheffield ,University of Bath, and Durham University. The Centre is directed by Simon Marginson in the Department of Education at Oxford. Deputy Directors are Claire Callender (UCL Institute of Education), Paul Ashwin (Lancaster University), and David Mills (Oxford University). CGHE commenced in October 2015 and is supported by £6.1 million in total funding over five years. The CGHE research programmes use multi-disciplinary and mixed methods of research in a range of domains, from individual experiences of higher education, to institutional practices, system level organisation and data analysis, and comparative and global studies. Individual CGHE research projects draw on economics and political economy, sociology, learning and organizational psychology, cultural studies, political science and policy studies, history and other disciplines. CGHE entails a diverse community of social science researchers who are encouraged to work together and develop new cross-field synergies. A central purpose of CGHE’s work, guiding all of its research and dissemination, is to maximize its immediate and long-term impacts in higher education policy and practice in the four UK nations and worldwide. The Centre is strongly committed to working with leading stakeholder organizations in the UK and overseas, to engage them in the development and dissemination of the research. CGHE is partly funded through ESRC by a grant from the Higher Education Funding Council of England (HEFCE), whose functions have now been divided between the Office for Students, and Research England (hence the OFSRE August 2023 in CGHE’s title). CGHE is also supported by an active structure of Associated Organisations, which include national organisations with a close ongoing interest in the higher education sector. To find out more about ESRC/OFSRE CGHE, including fuller information on research projects, the CGHE research team, the CGHE Board and Management Committee, CGHE’s Associated Organisations, please go to the CGHE website at http://www.researchcghe.org About the Centre for Skills Knowledge and Organisational Performance (SKOPE) The Centre on Skills, Knowledge and Organisational Performance (SKOPE) is a multi-disciplinary research centre, with staff and associates from most branches of the social sciences.

Department of Education The Department of Education is a research-led Department, carrying out research which is of relevance not only to academics in the field of Education and related disciplines, but also to teachers, teacher educators, other education professionals, and policy makers. Its policy of developing both depth and breadth of research expertise remains central to successfully maintaining and enhancing our position as an internationally recognised centre of outstanding research. The 2021 Research Excellence Framework evaluation placed the department as the leader for education research in the United Kingdom. We have a world class reputation for research, as illustrated by our publication and funding portfolio, indicators of international and national academic leadership, research prizes, and commitment to mobilising research for the improvement of policy and practice and the benefit of children, parents, and communities. The department has a highly fertile research environment, with around 100 books published since 2010 and over 150 research seminars convened each academic year. All full-time members of academic staff are active researchers. We have approximately 70 full-time and part-time teaching and research staff, 30 full-time and parttime administrative and professional staff, and around 525 students, of whom 182 were studying parttime. August 2023 Research in the Department is organised around three broad Themes: (i) Language, Cognition and Development; (ii) Policy, Economy and Society; (iii) Knowledge, Learning and Pedagogy. Each Theme consists of a cluster of Research Groups and affiliated Centres. All academic and research staff are attached to one or more research groups and research students are active in the groups. The research groups provide a forum for discussion of research ideas and articles in progress, to obtain critical commentary on current projects, and to plan new studies with colleagues. The externally-funded research centres are formally established units, organised around a coherent research plan and include OUCEA (The Oxford University Centre for Educational Assessment), SKOPE (Research Centre on Skills, Knowledge and Organisational Performance), The Rees Centre for Research in Fostering and Education and EMI (English as a Medium of Instruction). Our doctoral students make an excellent contribution to the research environment; there is an intake of just over 20 students per year. Over the last 15 years, the Department of Education has grown in size and shape. We currently offer the following courses: ▪ MSc in Education with 5 different pathways: Comparative and International Education; Higher Education; Child Development; Digital and Social Change; Research Design and Methodology ▪ MSc in Applied Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition (ALSLA) ▪ MSc in Learning and Teaching (MLT) ▪ MSc in Teacher Education ▪ MSc in Applied Linguistics for Language Teaching (ALLT) ▪ MSc in Educational Assessment ▪ MSc in Medical Education ▪ The Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) ▪ A comprehensive Doctoral (DPhil) programme attracting students from all over the world The PGCE is a one-year teacher training programme for over 190 graduates delivering secondary trained teachers in nine key subject areas (English, Geography, History, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Modern Foreign Languages and Religious Education). It is undertaken in close partnership with local secondary schools. The course has an international reputation for the quality of its work and in the most recent Ofsted inspection it was awarded the highest grade (Outstanding) in all categories for every subject and for management and quality assurance. At Masters Level there are two full-time courses: MSc Applied Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition and MSc Education in total admitting around 80 students each year. There are five part-time courses: the MSc in Learning and Teaching (MLT) is a two-year course which offers a combination of face-to-face teaching and online support for serving teachers; it recruits approximately 80 students each year. The Masters in Applied Linguistics in Language Teaching (ALLT) is a two-year part-time distance-learning course for lecturers teaching English within higher education institutions internationally, and the Masters in Teacher Education (MTEd) is likewise a two-year part-time distance-learning course, aimed at those employed as academics, teachers, and teacher educators worldwide who are involved in teacher education. The August 2023 MSc Medical Education began in 2021 and is a two-year course which offers a combination of face-toface teaching and online support for those involved in medical education. The doctoral programme (DPhil) has over 100 registered DPhil students, including 12 part-time, researching in a diverse range of areas. Education is a recognised Pathway in the ESRC Social Sciences Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP). Overall the Department is now one of the three largest centres in the UK for full-time postgraduate study in the field of education. Further information about the Department and its staff, courses and research activities please visit: www.education.ox.ac.uk/ See in particular our Annual Reviews at http://www.education.ox.ac.uk/about-us/department-reviews/ 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. August 2023 As part of our commitment to equality of opportunity, eleven of our departments have achieved Bronze awards under the Athena Swan Charter (a UK accreditation scheme recognising organisations’ commitment to equality and diversity, particularly in gender). Our School of Geography and the Environment holds an Athena Swan Silver award. In February 2023, for the first time, the University as a whole was awarded an institutional Athena Swan Silver award, acknowledging the progress that has been made in addressing a number of gender gaps across the University over the last five years. The Division delivers an exceptional range of high-quality educational programmes all underpinned by the innovative research being undertaken by our academics. The student body is made up of over 2,000 undergraduate students, nearly 3,000 students studying postgraduate taught programmes and 1,200 postgraduate research students. The programmes we offer are wide-ranging, often interdisciplinary and include 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.

Linacre College There are 38 self-governing and independent colleges at Oxford, giving both academic staff and students the benefits of belonging to a small, interdisciplinary community as well as to a large, internationally-renowned institution. The collegiate system fosters a strong sense of community, bringing together leading academics and students across subjects, and from different cultures and countries. Linacre is a vibrant and progressive post-graduate College of Oxford University. The College has more than 650 students all of whom have completed a first degree and are now studying for an advanced qualification. Linacre's prime objective is to provide high quality support, both intellectual and social, for its Fellows and graduate students. There are some 40 Governing Body Fellows, the majority of whom are academics in a wide range of University Faculties. The Fellowship includes some of Oxford's most distinguished scholars. The College has sought to support early-career researchers and has a community of more than 45 Junior Research Fellows. About 70% of the student body is from overseas, representing over 85 countries; and spread across all four academic divisions of the University. The College has 19 administrative staff, three chefs and large catering and housekeeping teams. The College was founded in 1962 to provide a community for Oxford’s growing number of international post-graduate students. It was named after Thomas Linacre, a distinguished Oxford humanist and medical scientist of the early 16th Century, whose breadth of learning symbolised the new College's multi-disciplinary purpose and ideal. In 1986 the College received its Royal Charter and is now a fully independent, selfgoverning, registered charity. The College is governed by its Fellows and student representatives. The College Principal has overall management responsibility for the College and its staff. He is supported by a senior management team consisting of the Vice Principal, Senior Tutor, Bursar and the Director of Estates. Linacre was the first College in Oxford to accept both men and women on an equal basis for all post-graduate degrees. It is unusual among Oxford Colleges in having no senior common room. The Fellows, staff and students share the same facilities and eat together in the dining hall in order to cultivate an egalitarian academic community. The College is family-friendly and has a strong environmental ethos. August 2023 Drawing on its current academic strengths, Linacre is making a particular contribution to the support and promotion of environmental studies in the University. It has close links with the University's Environmental Change Institute and is in the process of developing a Net Zero Carbon Strategy. The College is the Oxford host of the Tanner Lectures on Human Values, a lecture series held at nine of the World’s leading universities. The College is housed in fine buildings, most of which were purpose-built, on St Cross Road, surrounded on three sides by parks and playing fields, in a convenient location on the edge of the University Science Area and within easy reach of all the main University Departments and Libraries. The College has a number of modern teaching and seminar rooms, a well-equipped gym, an excellent dining hall and small but exquisite gardens. The College is a busy academic community throughout the year. Unlike undergraduates, graduate students remain in residence for almost the entire year. The College has only two brief periods a year when the dining room and administrative offices are closed.

College Benefits, Terms and Conditions Fellowships at Linacre are non-stipendiary, but Fellows are entitled to free lunches and dinners in College when the College kitchens are open. They may also apply for small grants (up to £500.00) to assist with research expenses. Fellows are expected to co-operate in the running of the College. The main commitment is to attend meetings of the Governing Body which normally meets three times each term. All members of the Governing Body are trustees of the College and must comply with relevant trustee legislation. There are also various standing committees of the Governing Body which require members, but this commitment is not arduous. Linacre is not able to offer Fellows personal study rooms in College; but they may reserve rooms for tutorials, seminars, social functions, and to accommodate guests. There are no teaching duties, but all Fellows are expected to act as College Advisors to up to ten students to help them with any personal as well as academic problems which they may encounter. The College has arrangements to assist with the entertainment of students by their Advisors. Offer of employment August 2023 Applications for this post will be considered by a selection committee containing representatives from both the Department of Education and Linacre 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 Linacre 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.
