The collegiate system fosters a strong sense of community, bringing together leading academics and students across subjects, and from different cultures and countries. Established in 1555 as a constituent college of the University of Oxford, St John’s College fosters excellence in education and research and is now one of the largest among Oxford Colleges. Today, St John's is home to approximately 400 undergraduates and more than 200 graduate students. Most of the subjects on offer at Oxford University can be studied at the College, including Computer Science. The present Fellowship of the College includes Tutorial Fellows, Professorial Fellows (this position will be a Professorial Fellow), Junior Research Fellows, and Career Development Research Fellows. All Fellows and some other staff are members of the Senior Common Room, which nurtures an intellectual community alongside dining and social benefits. The Governing Body of the College, which has overall responsibility for all aspects of the running of the College, comprises the President (the head of the College) and more than 60 Fellows. A vibrant international community, it fosters intellectual rigour, creativity, and independence in its students, teachers, and researchers, and the College is committed to access and widening participation. The College supports a range of research activities including discussions, seminars, workshops, public lectures and visiting scholar schemes which particularly emphasize interdisciplinary approaches. While scholarly publication is naturally at the heart of our research endeavours, the fellowship is also committed to informing policy and public debate, and to teaching that is informed by research findings.
