For more information, please visit www.ox.ac.uk/about/organisation. 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 1,000 academic and research staff working across fifteen departments, faculties and schools. The Head of the Social Sciences Division is Professor Tim Power. The Division is a world-leading centre of research and education in the social sciences. The Times Higher Education (THE) University Rankings placed the University of Oxford as number one in the world for Social Sciences in 2018 and 2019. REF 2014 confirmed Oxford as the UK powerhouse for research in the social 4 sciences, accounting for more 4* research than any other institution. 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. 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, nine of our departments have achieved bronze Athena SWAN awards: the Blavatnik School of Government, Economics, Education, International Development, Law, Geography & the Environment, Anthropology & Museum Ethnography, the Oxford School of Global and Area Studies and the Saïd Business School, with all our other departments either in the process of applying or scheduled to do so shortly. 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. Oxford School of Global and Area Studies (OSGA) The School represents a commitment by the University to enhancing teaching and research in Area Studies. It brings together seven units: the African Studies Centre, the Latin American Centre (including the Brazilian Studies Programme), the Nissan Institute of Japanese Studies, the Contemporary China Studies Programme, Russian and East European Studies, the Contemporary South Asia Studies Programme and the Middle East Programme. The administration of the School is based at 12 Bevington Road, with colleagues also providing administrative support across a number of locations in which the School’s constituent units are based (including the Nissan Institute of Japanese Studies at St Antony’s College and the University of Oxford China Centre at St Hugh’s College). The School is devoted to research and graduate teaching in academic disciplines which attempt to understand the complexity and the interrelatedness of society through anthropology, economics, politics, history, sociology and culture. Its teaching and research seek to take into account both the insights provided by the separate disciplines and the contextualisation provided by in-depth knowledge of specific regions and countries. Interdisciplinary collaboration to study specific social processes is encouraged, and a distinctive feature of the School is the number of its academic staff who hold joint appointments in the School and a disciplinary department in the Social Sciences or Humanities Divisions. In the most recent national research quality assessment exercise (REF2021), Area Studies at Oxford – comprising staff in the School and the Faculty of Oriental Studies in the Humanities Division - was judged to account for more world-leading (4*) research than any other institution in the UK. 5 The School admits around 140 graduate students a year on Masters and DPhil programmes, across the African Studies Centre, Latin American Centre, the Nissan Institute of Japanese Studies, Russian and East European Studies, Contemporary South Asia, Contemporary Chinese Studies, and Middle East Studies. Additionally, the School’s academic staff supervise doctoral students and teach on a range of undergraduate programmes in other parts of the University. The School holds a bronze Athena Swan award1, conferred in January 2022, to recognize good practice in promoting gender equality in higher education: representation, progression and success for all, and is committed to enhancing diversity and promoting equality of opportunity amongst all our staff and students. Information regarding the Athena Swan Charter can be found here: https://edu.admin.ox.ac.uk/athenaswan#collapse3170236. Further information about OSGA, its component units, its staff, courses and research activities can be found on the School’s website at www.area-studies.ox.ac.uk The Latin American Centre Programme The post-holder will be a member of the Latin American Centre programme. The LAC offers a one-year MSc in Latin American Studies, a two-year MPhil in Latin American Studies and, through OSGA, a DPhil in Area Studies (Latin America), bringing together over 20 students working on the region at a graduate level. The LAC’s masters’ programmes concentrate on the modern history, politics, economics, international relations and sociology of the region. The LAC also acts as a hub for the study of Latin America across a wide range of disciplines in Oxford, including anthropology, geography, music and literature. Visiting academics and visiting doctoral students, from within and outside the United Kingdom, add to a vibrant community of scholars working on a variety of topics of central concern for the region. As a centre for the study of the region, the LAC serves as a venue for debating ongoing research and relevant current affairs. Leading international scholars and key public figures from the region regularly contribute to the LAC’s flagship weekly seminar. The LAC also runs a Brazilian Studies programme, which hosts a yearly conference on Brazil as well as regular academic visitors from Brazil. A History seminar meets once a week; a programme that often includes joint events with other universities in Europe and the Americas. In addition, the LAC hosts a DPhil seminar that brings together doctoral students across the university studying topics related to Latin America from a wide range of disciplines in the social sciences and humanities. The LAC is housed on the premises of St Antony’s College, with which it is closely connected, although students and some members of the academic staff are also members of other Oxford colleges. An important part of the LAC is the Bodleian Latin American Library, located on the ground floor and basement of our building. Its 16,000 volumes, together with journals, microfilms and DVDs, form an important specialist lending collection for those studying Latin American social sciences and history. To find out more about the Latin American Centre Programme, see https://www.lac.ox.ac.uk/ 1 In February 2023, the University was awarded an institutional Silver award, acknowledging the progress that has been made in addressing a number of gender gaps across the University over the last five years. 6 Important information for candidates Data Privacy Please note that any personal data submitted to the University as part of the job application process will be processed in accordance with the GDPR and related UK data protection legislation.
