Centre for Socio-Legal Studies For over fifty years the Oxford Centre has been at the forefront of interdisciplinary research into the nature and role of law in society. 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 have area expertise in Eastern Europe, Africa, Australia, Asia and the US. 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 over 40 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 About the Faculty The Faculty of Law prides itself on being a centre of excellence for the study and research of law, a place where tradition meets innovation, where scholars and students collaborate to further the academic study and practical application of law. We are proud of our rich legacy of legal education that spans generations. We have the best staff-student ratio of any law school in the UK. We have consistently upheld the highest standards of academic rigour and played an integral role in shaping the legal landscape, both domestically and internationally. We steward the future of legal scholarship through running the largest doctoral programme in the Englishspeaking world. Our commitment to research and innovation is unwavering. Our faculty members are at the forefront of groundbreaking legal research, contributing to the evolution of legal thought and policy in an everchanging world. Their expertise spans diverse areas of law, from corporate to human rights, from criminal to environmental, and they bring to the classroom a wealth of practical experience and theoretical insight. Our students have the privilege of learning from the best, engaging in thought-provoking discussions, and honing their legal skills under the guidance of these eminent scholars. We deliver cutting-edge programmes, including the highly regarded BCL/MJur, Masters in Law and Finance and BA in Jurisprudence. Our community is made up of students and staff from across the world, from many different backgrounds, with a variety of ethnicities, religions, and sexual and gender identities. We are home to centres of expertise in specialist areas such as the Bonavero Institute of Human Rights, the Centre for Criminology, the Oxford Human Rights Hub, the Institute for European and Comparative Law, the Oxford Intellectual Property Research Centre and the Centre for Socio-Legal Studies. Oxford’s Law Faculty is the largest community of legal scholars in the UK, and consistently ranks among the top universities for Law and Legal Studies. Undergraduate teaching within the Faculty There are approximately 220 undergraduates in each year. While most read for the three-year BA in Jurisprudence, up to 35 follow the Law with Law Studies in Europe course over four years, one year being devoted to study in France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, or Italy. The full range of subjects taught at 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 Faculty’s Undergraduate Studies Committee and its Associate Dean for Undergraduate Studies and Outreach. Graduate teaching within the Faculty The Faculty sustains a major graduate programme and its graduate research school is the largest of any law school in the English-speaking world. There are currently about 640 graduate students, of whom approximately half are enrolled in taught programmes, the largest being the Bachelor of Civil Law (BCL) and Magister Juris (MJur) which account for around 150 students combined. Both are full-time courses, as is the Master of Science (MSc) in Law and Finance and the Master of Philosophy (MPhil) in Criminology and Criminal Justice, while the MSc in Criminology and Criminal Justice is offered both as a full-time and part-time course. There are then a number of courses which are exclusively part-time – the MSc degrees in 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 and comprise the Doctor of Philosophy (DPhil) degrees in Law, in Socio-Legal Studies, and in Criminology (all offered as full-time and part-time courses), and the one-year Master of Philosophy (MPhil) degrees in Law and in Socio-Legal Research (both full-time courses). All part-time courses are non-residential. The 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 taught 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. Research activity The Faculty has always encouraged excellence and diversity in its research strategy, seeking to achieve the highest quality in the broad range of subjects in which Faculty members pursue their interests. The Faculty’s Research Support Fund provides resources for research assistance, conference attendance, and other research-related activities. The Faculty’s Research Support team assist with applications for external research funding. Academic staff development Teaching 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 arrangements under which Associate Professors in their initial period of office may take advantage of support in developing their teaching. A range of such support is provided by the Oxford Learning Institute (www.learning.ox.ac.uk), including: • • • • • • • introductory sessions for new academic staff an advisor for new Associate Professors peer observation of teaching attendance at learning and teaching seminars one-to-one discussion with an educational development adviser or faculty teaching representative participation in the University’s postgraduate diploma in learning and teaching self-study resources Start-up costs A start-up grant of £4,000 is available (unless the appointee currently holds an established Oxford University academic post). This may be spent at the postholder’s discretion on any purpose connected with their academic work, for example IT equipment, research assistance, travel, conference attendance, and/or book purchases. The start-up grant must be spent within three years. Research support The Faculty has grant schemes for IT equipment and research support, to which the postholder will be eligible to apply after the first year of appointment. Further information on the Law Faculty can be found at www.law.ox.ac.uk. The Bodleian Social Sciences Libraries The Bodleian Social Sciences Libraries work collaboratively to provide subject support, collections, and services to the Social Sciences Division of the University of Oxford, the largest grouping of social science disciplines in the UK. The Bodleian Social Sciences Libraries comprise six interdisciplinary and specialised libraries, namely the Bodleian Social Science Library; Bodleian Law Library; Sainsbury Library at the Saïd Business School; Tylor Library for Social and Cultural Anthropology; Bodleian Education Library; and the Bodleian 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 world-class services and collections to support world-leading social science research, doctoral training programmes, and some of Oxford’s most widely recognised teaching programmes. The Bodleian Law Library The Bodleian Law Library, accommodated alongside the Faculty centre in the St Cross Building, houses over a quarter of a million volumes. It receives copies of all law books published in the United Kingdom, and has extensive holdings of overseas legal publications, notably of the Commonwealth, the US, and European countries. Oxford is designated as a European Documentation Centre, and materials relevant to European law are housed in the Bodleian Law Library. It has one of the most extensive collections of domestic and foreign law databases and e-resources in the UK. Further information about the Bodleian Law Library can be found at www.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/law. 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, for 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 (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 Oxford, we engage and collaborate extensively with other universities and a wide range of governmental and non-governmental 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 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 Master’s level programmes such as the Bachelor in Civil Law (BCL), Environmental Change and Management, International Relations, and Social Data Science. For more information, please visit: www.socsci.ox.ac.uk. Green Templeton College Green Templeton College, one of Oxford’s few graduate colleges, was founded in 2008 following the merger of Green and Templeton Colleges. Green Templeton is proud to be a progressive, international and inclusive community within the University of Oxford at the forefront of graduate education. The college aims to lead the way in graduate education by providing an environment specifically geared to the needs and interests of postgraduate students. In 2022 we published our Strategic Plan to 2031. With 70 members of staff, 300 fellows and 650 students from around 80 countries, the college is international, outward-looking, future-focused and truly contemporary within a traditional Oxford setting. Friendly and informal, with a single, shared common room and no high table, the college community forms the backdrop to a lively academic and social scene. The intellectual agenda and distinctive academic profile emphasise issues relating to human welfare and social, economic and environmental well-being in the 21st century. The College is especially committed to equality and diversity, in both law and spirit. The diversity of our global community of students and staff is one of our greatest assets. The College is well known for its friendly, congenial and welcoming environment so it would be very easy for the appointee to the post to settle into College life. There is an understanding of the multiple pressures on our fellows, and we are very accommodating in this regard. For more information please visit: https://www.gtc.ox.ac.uk/ Academic Life and Vision We extend the traditional Oxford model by bringing together researchers, teachers and practitioners with parity of esteem. Our students, fellows, alumni and staff will have a welcoming and exceptional college experience with enrichment opportunities that enables all to deliver on their potential and thrive throughout life. The disciplines of our academic and student members include medicine, medical sciences, business and management, and a broad range of social sciences, including education, environmental sciences and social policy. Because of our iconic Radcliffe Observatory, we also have strong connections with astrophysics. We have established academic initiatives in the nexus of these areas, including our longrunning Management in Medicine programme. We seek ways of bringing these groups together and the synergies are remarkable – our aim is to nurture inter- and multi-disciplinarity for the benefit of social, economic and environmental well-being. As part of our vision for the future we strive to ensure our fellowship reflects the diversity demonstrated within our student population. We have great plans for our estate, increasing the facilities available for our community with a focus on the net-zero goal set for 2035. Appointee The appointee would initially be a Research Fellow without Governing Body responsibilities. They would be welcome to join committees of the College according to their interests, or to participate in College initiatives which might be academic but could, for example, be about environmental sustainability or diversity of the College. 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. Oxford’s researchers engage with academic, commercial and cultural partners across the world to stimulate high-quality research and enable innovation through a broad range of social, policy and economic impacts.
