August 2023 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 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. For more information, please visit: www.socsci.ox.ac.uk. August 2023 The Oxford Internet Institute (OII) The Oxford Internet Institute – founded in 2001 - is a multidisciplinary research and teaching department of the University of Oxford, dedicated to the social science of the Internet. Digital connections are now embedded in almost every aspect of our daily lives, and research on individual and collective behaviour online is crucial to understanding our social, economic, and political world. Research: We have unprecedented access to a huge volume of rich social data, and are developing new theories, concepts and methods to analyse it. Teaching: Our Masters and doctoral programmes bring students from all over the world, to work with our faculty at the cutting edge of their fields. Policy: We provide the empirical data and conceptual analysis that is so needed to design policy solutions to societal problems. Our academic faculty and graduate students are drawn from many different disciplines: we believe this combined approach is essential to tackle society’s ‘big questions’. Together, we aim to positively shape the development of our digital world for the public good. The OII aims to operate at the cutting edge in both quantitative and qualitative methodologies that cut across disciplines and topics. The core of our activity is to develop rigorous peer-reviewed research and disseminate the outputs in high-quality journals, while ensuring that research helps inform and shape policy and practice. Our research focuses on areas critical to the public interest and has already delivered significant impact. Our faculty were among the first to draw the world’s attention to “fake news” and defined the concept of “big data”. They have undertaken ground-breaking research into technology and wellbeing using realtime industry data and persuaded major global firms to adopt a new methods and practices. And OII researchers have developed the first global ratings system for firms operating in the gig economy and had a significant role in influencing the online harms debate in the UK. Our four teaching programmes graduate around 80 students a year across our two MSc programmes in addition to around five doctoral students. Many of our talented alumni go on to perform important roles and achieve significant accomplishments in the world of policymaking, technology development, civil society and academia. In 2025, the OII is expected to take up residence in the new Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities, moving from our current location across three sites on St Giles. For more information about the Oxford Internet Institute please visit https://www.oii.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. August 2023 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 wellbeing. 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.

The Oxford Internet Institute (OII) is seeking to appoint an Associate Professor of Digital Culture, in association with a Research Fellowship at Green Templeton College. The post will sit within the OII.  The successful candidate will conduct outstanding research and deliver graduate teaching on topics relating to digital life and culture.  

 

The position is open to candidates from the social sciences with a research profile in areas such as Internet cultures (identity, norms, expression, aesthetics), digital arts and creativity, social movements and participation, cultural analytics or related areas. The successful candidate will be expected to conduct innovative research that uses qualitative methods to generate important insights for society, and to be willing to engage in cross-disciplinary collaborations that support this. We are keen to see applications from candidates in disciplines such as sociology, anthropology, cultural studies, media and communications, and political science but candidates from cognate disciplines conducting relevant research are also welcome to apply.  We particularly welcome candidates conducting policy-relevant research and those with skills in digital ethnography, online interviewing, cross-cultural qualitative analysis and large-scale qualitative data analysis. As an outward-looking multi-disciplinary social science department, the successful candidate should enjoy engaging across disciplines and should also be comfortable engaging with non-academic audiences. 

 

The successful candidate will contribute research-led teaching and supervision for OII graduate students and will also contribute to the delivery of core and option papers on OII MSc degrees.   

Candidates must demonstrate a research record in digital culture with an international standing appropriate to the stage of their career; the ability to deliver excellent teaching, and a willingness to undertake administration and pastoral responsibilities on behalf of Green Templeton College and of the University. Candidates should hold a completed doctorate, or a completed doctoral dissertation submitted for examination by the advertised closing date for this position.  

 

This post is available from 1st October 2024, or as soon as possible thereafter. This is a permanent appointment (subject to successful review during the initial period of office). 

 

For the University, the post holder will teach, supervise graduate students, and participate in examining students within the OII, and play a full and active role in the intellectual life of the department. They will be expected to engage in independent and original research, to secure funding and engage in the management of research projects and disseminate research of the highest international standard through publications, conferences, and seminars. They will be entitled to office space at the OII. 

 

The University of Oxford holds several awards of recognition of its efforts to introduce organisational and cultural practices that promote gender equality and create a better working environment for both men and women, including an Athena Swan Bronze award and the Race Equality Charter Bronze award.

More information can be found at https://edu.admin.ox.ac.uk/equality-charters.  

 

Informal enquiries about the post should be directed in the first instance to the Director of the Oxford Internet Institute, Professor Victoria Nash, (victoria.nash@oii.ox.ac.uk), or to Naomi Benson (fellowshipadministration@gtc.ox.ac.uk) at Green Templeton College. All enquiries will be treated in strict confidence and will not be considered in the selection decision. 

 

Applications are particularly welcomed from women and black and minority ethnic candidates, who are under-represented in academic posts in Oxford. 

 

The closing date for applications is 12noon (midday) on 25th March 2024. Interviews are expected to be held on 24th April 2024.
