Our focus is on rigorous description as well as on developing and testing explanatory theories to account for significant social regularities. Particular strengths include the statistical analysis of observational data, social demography, crime (including organized crime), family, gender, social mobility and inequalities, health, political and social attitudes, the collection, management and analysis of complex data. The Department of Sociology was established in 1999 to provide a renewed focus for sociological research and teaching in the University. The international reputation of Oxford Sociology remains widely recognised. Sociology is currently ranked second in the world (and first in Europe) according to QS Rankings by Subject 2022, first in the sociology UoA in the REF and has been highly successful, given its size, in generating external research income. Oxford has a long and distinguished history of sociological research. As well as undertaking cutting-edge research, the Department carries out the full range of postgraduate teaching and research, provides teaching and support for undergraduate courses administered by other departments, and has about 40 staff and around 100 graduate students and academic visitors. The Department offers two taught courses: a one-year MSc in Sociology and a two-year MPhil in Sociology and Demography, which together have an intake of about 35 students per year. In addition, about 15 doctoral students are admitted each year. The Department of Sociology also offers teaching for the undergraduate degree programmes in Human Sciences, and Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE). Academic staff have access to the Social Sciences library, which is housed in the Manor Road Building and also to the library in Nuffield College. There is a very strong research culture within the Department, with two weekly Sociology seminar series running during term. For more information, please visit our website at www.sociology.ox.ac.uk The University of Oxford is a member of the Athena SWAN Charter and holds an institutional Bronze Athena SWAN award. The 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 6 number one spot in the world for Social Sciences in 2024. We have placed first in four of the last five years (2019, 2021, 2022 & 2023). 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 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, thirteen 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 professionallyoriented 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. Nuffield College For more information please visit: https://www.nuffield.ox.ac.uk/ 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. 7 Nuffield College is a graduate college within the University of Oxford which was founded in 1937 and specialises in the Social Sciences, particularly Economics, Politics, and Sociology. It aims to be one of the world’s outstanding social science institutions, providing a stimulating research-orientated environment for postgraduate students, research fellows, and senior academics and promoting, according to its Charter, “the study by co-operation between academic and non-academic persons of social (including economic and political) problems”. About 30 students are admitted each year to undertake both taught masters courses and doctoral research for most of whom the College provides financial support in the form of studentships. In total there are about 100 students enrolled at any one time, many of whom either live in College or have offices in College. In addition in 2023/24 the College has 37 permanent academic Fellows (of whom 4 are College-funded Official Fellows), 60 Research Fellows (of whom 12 are College-funded Postdoctoral Prize Fellows), 19 non-academic Visiting Fellows drawn from the world of business, industry, politics and administration; and a number of Research Officers working on research projects run by the College’s Fellows. The College enjoys strong links with the University’s social science departments and works closely with the Social Sciences Division. Nuffield College has been – and continues to be – the source of some of the major research developments in social science. These include the British Election Studies and the major programme of research on Social Mobility in Britain. It was the birthplace of the "Oxford School" of Industrial Relations; it pioneered the development of cost benefit analysis for developing countries; and it has made a major contribution to the methodology of econometrics. At the moment the College hosts five research centres: the Centre for Experimental Social Sciences (CESS); the Centre for Social Investigation (CSI); the Nuffield Politics Research Centre; the Nuffield Centre for Applied Macro Policy (NuCAMP); and the Climate Econometrics project (see further information below). Professorial Fellowships at Nuffield College The Associate Professor will be elected to a Non-Tutorial, Professorial Fellowship at Nuffield College. Professorial Fellowships are typically linked with tenure-track academic positions within the University of Oxford (joint appointments), at the level of either associate or full professor. The post-holders are expected to engage in advanced study and research in their field of expertise, falling within the research areas of the College; to provide supervision and academic support for graduate students; to participate actively in the intellectual life of the College; and to take part in College governance. Professorial Fellows are expected to be members of the College’s Governing Body (subject to appointment as a charity trustee). Governing Body Fellows are ex officio trustees of the charity which is “The Warden and Fellows of Nuffield College in the University of Oxford”. Research Facilities The size and specialised nature of the College enable its members to work closely with one another in a stimulating and research-orientated environment. A “critical mass” of students and Fellows working in the social sciences is helpful both in terms of facilities and of intellectual activity, such as the active seminar and conference programme. The College Library is one of the finest in the social sciences and functions as a research library, reflecting the academic interests of the Fellows. Fellows also have access to all the facilities of the Bodleian Library, including full-text access to nearly all journals in the social sciences. The College has an Information Systems Department to serve the computing needs of Fellows. The College provides facilities and grants for Fellows to invite academic visitors to the College to enable them to carry out collaborative work. 8 Research Centres in Nuffield College The College currently hosts five research centres, focusing on different aspects of and approaches to the study of social sciences: The Centre for Experimental Social Sciences (CESS) was established to promote and facilitate experimental research by social scientists in Oxford. The CESS offers an on-site laboratory with 25 computer stations, and maintains a large subject pool. The facilities are designed to support a wide range of experiments. The CESS also maintains an online panel of UK residents, and provides support for fielding online survey experiments and, recently, the facility for virtual lab experiments. The CESS has a regular seminar series that highlights the work of renowned scholars employing experimental methods. Periodic workshops held by the CESS provide training for researchers in experimental research design, experimental data analysis, and programming languages (including z-Tree and Qualtrics). More information on CESS is available at CESS Nuffield. The Centre for Social Investigation (CSI) is an interdisciplinary research programme; in keeping with the College’s Charter which emphasizes “the study by co-operation between academic and non-academic persons of social (including economic and political) problems”, the Centre aims to address contemporary social issues of public interest and to engage with policy-makers and the public more generally, carrying out authoritative, non-partisan research on central social issues which draws upon expertise in economics, politics and sociology and related disciplines such as social policy. The Centre seeks to establish itself as an independent and rigorous source of information and analysis of contemporary social issues, communicated in an accessible way to nontechnical audiences, in addition to publishing technical work for academic audiences. More information on CSI is available here. The Nuffield Politics Research Centre was established with the aim of conducting innovative research in problems and challenges of contemporary politics, specialising in questions of accountability and representation, and improving communication of political science research to people in public life. The Nuffield Politics Research Centre includes the Nuffield Elections Unit, of which Professor Geoffrey Evans is Director, and which is home to our research on the British Election Study, as well as the UK local elections archive. The Director of the Centre is Professor Jane Green, who is currently a member of the Scientific Leadership Team of the 2019-2023 BES, together with Professor Geoffrey Evans. The Centre includes affiliated Research Fellows, currently Professor Gary King (Harvard University Professor, and Director of the Institute for Quantitative Social Science), and a number of active graduate and postgraduate researchers in the University. More information is available at https://politicscentre.nuffield.ox.ac.uk/. The Nuffield Centre for Applied Macro Policy (NuCAMP) was established in the Summer of 2017 to create a space in which academics and policymakers can freely and openly discuss current trends, insights and policies that influence how economies function. Through its convening power and activities focussed on holding conferences, workshops and visitor programmes, NuCamp fosters the development of fresh analytical and empirical approaches that promise to create better links and improved knowledge exchange between the academic and policy worlds of macroeconomic problems. The Climate Econometrics project and network, was established under the leadership of Professor Sir David Hendry and works in collaboration with the Department of Economics at the University of Victoria, the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment, and Economics of Sustainability. The project and network concentrate on developing econometric methods to augment climate-economic research by helping disentangle complex relationships between human actions and climate responses and their associated economic effects, masked by stochastic trends and breaks. The project team aims to improve our understanding of the impact of humanity on climate and vice versa, as well as on how econometrics can be used 9 in climate-economic research, and bring together researchers in the field of Climate Econometrics through an international network. More information on the Climate Econometrics project is available at http://www.climateeconometrics.org/.
