The academic staff in Asian and Middle Eastern Studies teach and research the ancient and modern languages, literatures, and histories of the Near and Middle East, South Asia, and East Asia. The Faculty comprises six subject groups: this post is part of the Egyptology and Near Eastern Studies Group. The Faculty has some 220 undergraduate students, and around 250 postgraduate students at Master’s and doctoral level. It has over 100 teaching and research staff across an extremely wide range of subjects. Its research has been consistently ranked exceptionally highly in external assessment, and is distinctive for the emphasis placed on engagement with the subject through materials expressed in the original languages of the areas studied, and for its intellectual rigour. For more information on the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies and its teaching and research please visit: http://www.orinst.ox.ac.uk/ Humanities Division AMES is part of the Humanities Division along with more than a dozen other Faculties and institutions. The Humanities Division is one of four academic divisions in the University of Oxford, bringing together the following faculties: Classics; English; History; Linguistics, Philology and Phonetics; Medieval and Modern Languages; Music; Asian and Middle Eastern Studies; Philosophy; Theology and Religion; the Ruskin School of Art. The Division has over 500 members of academic staff, approximately 4,100 undergraduates (more than a third of the total undergraduate population of the University), 1,000 postgraduate research students and 720 students on postgraduate taught courses. The Division offers world-class teaching and research, backed by the superb resources of the University’s libraries and museums, including the famous Bodleian Libraries, with their 11 million volumes and priceless early book and manuscript collections, and the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology. Such historic resources are linked to cutting-edge agendas in research and teaching, with an increasing emphasis on interdisciplinary study. Our faculties are among the largest in the world, enabling Oxford to offer an education in Arts and Humanities unparalleled in its range of subjects, from music and fine art to ancient and modern languages. The Humanities Division has embarked on a major building project on the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter, following the recent announcement of the £150 million gift to create the Stephen A. Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities. The Schwarzman Centre will serve as a dynamic hub dedicated to the Humanities. The building will bring together seven Humanities faculties, the Humanities Divisional Office, a new library and significant cultural and public engagement spaces in a space designed to encourage experiential learning and bold experimentation through cross-disciplinary and collaborative study. Although AMES is not physically moving into the new Schwarzman Centre building after its completion, it will have full access to the new exhibition and performance spaces and will be closely involved in cross-faculty initiatives of the Centre.

Oxford is also recognised as a leading supporter of social enterprise. Oxford admits undergraduate students with the intellectual potential to benefit fully from the small group learning to which Oxford is deeply committed. Meeting in small groups with their tutor, undergraduates are exposed to rigorous scholarly challenge and learn to develop their critical thinking, their ability to articulate their views with clarity, and their personal and intellectual confidence. They receive a high level of personal attention from leading academics. Oxford has a strong postgraduate student body which now numbers over 10,000. Postgraduates are attracted to Oxford by the international standing of the faculty, by the rigorous intellectual training on offer, by the excellent research and laboratory facilities available, and by the resources of the museums and libraries, including one of the world’s greatest libraries, the Bodleian.
