OSGA delivers world leading, multi-disciplinary programmes of teaching and research across Africa, China, Latin America, the Middle East, Japan, Russia and Eastern Europe, and South Asia. Oxford’s School of Global and Area Studies (OSGA) one of the largest communities of Area Studies scholars anywhere in the world. We have research and teaching programmes dedicated to Africa, China, Latin America, the Middle East, Japan, Russia and Eastern Europe, South Asia and Comparative Area Studies. 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 Area Studies department in the UK. The School admits around 160 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, Middle East Studies, and the comparative master’s programme in Global and Area 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 award to recognise advancement of gender equality: representation, progression and success for all. Page 7 of 13 Contemporary South Asian Studies Programme From Governor Generals to Freedom Fighters to Rhodes Scholars and everything in between, Oxford University has a rich history of engaging with the states and societies of South Asia, and with scholars and peoples from across the region. The Contemporary South Asian Studies Programme (CSASP) comprises various permanent academic members of staff, as well as teaching assistants, research associates and a permanent administrator. CSASP now administers the 9-month MSc in Modern South Asian Studies and 21-month MPhil in Modern South Asian Studies courses (both of which are run in conjunction with the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies). Students on each of these courses will have the opportunity to engage with and be taught by scholars from both the Humanities and Social Science Divisions. CSASP also participates in the new Area Studies DPhil programme. We are delighted that the first two South Asianists to study on this programme arrived in Michaelmas term 2018 with another in 2020. CSASP has a growing post-doctoral community. We also host occasional visiting scholars; recent research projects have included Masculinity in Indian Cinema, Gender in South Asia and Sports as Soft Power Diplomacy in South Asia. In 2020 we welcomed the inaugural cohort of Rangoonwala Visiting Fellows. We collaborate with the Faculties of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies and History, the Ashmolean Museum and the Oxford Department of International Development on the Modern South Asian Studies seminar series which is hosted by St Antony's College and administered by the Asian Studies Centre. Recent Conferences organised by CSASP include: Who governs the Indian Ocean?, Counting Caste: Breaking the Caste Census deadlock, Rethinking Education in Post-Pandemic South Asia, South Asia from Afar, Workshops on Indian elections, roundtables on the future of Area Studies, as well as collaborative events with South Asia students groups and series on political thought, the climate crisis, as well as intellectual history. We run occasional Chatham House style events with closed invitation lists that enable students to ask more penetrating/revealing questions. Recent events have included discussions with a senior Pakistani military officer, a well-known BBC investigative journalist, a former Chief Minister of Kashmir, and a senior member of the Indian Prime Minister’s Office. In conjunction with Wolfson College, CSASP organised the inaugural Foreign and Commonwealth Office Oxford day in 2017. We hosted 50 members of the FCO, Ministry of Defence and Department for International Development for a day of lectures and discussion organised by the CSASP staff. Another such event was organised in 2019. Other events we organise include tours of the Oxford Ashmolean Museum with a South Asia theme, termly Documentary Discussion evenings, with presentations by the director and, in conjunction with Wolfson College, the Annual Sarfraz Pakistan Lecture. We have been actively involved with hosting India-Oxford (IndOx) initiatives as well as those in the Environmental Humanities with TORCH. Page 8 of 13 The MPhil in Global and Area Studies The MPhil in Global and Area Studies (GAS) was launched in 2021 as a new addition to the OSGA area-specific programmes. We offer a 21-month programme and draw on the multidisciplinary and regional expertise of the seven regional centres of OSGA to deliver an innovative comparative area studies programme that addresses contemporary global challenges through the development of innovative multidisciplinary approaches. In addition to the core GAS faculty, other OSGA academics contribute to GAS teaching and supervision. We work closely with OSGA academics and administrators. 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 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 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, 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. Page 9 of 13 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.

HTML description of Associate Professorship in South Asian Studies
The Oxford School of Global and Area Studies (OSGA) is committed to understanding cultural, economic, political and social questions through the study of world regions in local, global and comparative contexts. OSGA delivers world leading, multi-disciplinary programmes of teaching and research across Africa, China, Latin America, the Middle East, Japan, Russia and Eastern Europe, and South Asia. About the Role: Applications are invited for an Associate Professorship in South Asian Studies. The post is offered on a full-time basis, available from 1 October 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter. This is a joint appointment with Wolfson College, where the successful candidate will also be appointed to a Non-Tutorial Fellowship and membership of the Governing Body. Appointments to Associate Professorships are confirmed as permanent on successful completion of a review during the first five years. The post-holder will be based in OSGA and will devote roughly 70% of their time to the Contemporary South Asian Studies Programme (CSASP) and 30% of their time to the Programme in Global and Area Studies (GAS). The successful candidate will be expected to engage actively in research programmes of the School and to contribute through world-class publications to the School and University's international reputation for research excellence. Further responsibilities include teaching and supervising at graduate level, contributing fully to academic administration and examining as well as to the running and development of CSASP and the MPhil in Global and Area Studies, proportionate to the balance of the role. As a Governing Body Fellow of Wolfson College, the candidate will be expected to act as student adviser, to participate in the College Committee system and in its Governing Body meetings. Queries about the post should be addressed to Professor Paul Chaisty at paul.chaisty@politics.ox.ac.uk (Head of OSGA). All enquiries will be treated in strict confidence and will not form part of the selection decision. About You: The successful candidate will be a South Asia specialist who is undertaking outstanding contemporary social science research on one or more South Asian countries. We particularly welcome applications from candidates whose expertise is anchored in politics or political economy. While the country focus is open, we encourage candidates whose research focuses on Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, or Sri Lanka to apply. Application process: Information about the application process, as well as the full list of responsibilities and selection criteria can be obtained from the job description attached below. Circumstances such as caring responsibilities, ill health or disability may result in the quantity of a candidate's outputs being less than might otherwise be expected, therefore when considering candidate's research and publication record, career breaks will be taken into consideration. The University of Oxford is committed to fostering an inclusive culture, which promotes equality, values diversity and maintains a working, learning and social environment in which the rights and dignity of all its staff and students are respected. We recognise that the broad range of experiences that a diverse staff and student body brings strengthens our research and enhances our teaching, and that in order for Oxford to remain a world-leading institution we must continue to provide a diverse, inclusive, fair and open environment that allows everyone to grow and flourish. The University is a member of the Athena SWAN Charter to promote women in Science, Engineering, Technology and Medicine and the College supports the Race and Equality commitments made by the University. The University holds an Athena SWAN silver award at institutional level, and OSGA holds a bronze Athena Swan award, conferred in January 2022, to recognize good practice in promoting gender equality in higher education.
