Faculty of Theology and Religion The University is organised into about 140 different departments, each of which recruits its own staff. This post is in the Faculty of Theology and Religion, which currently has its office at the Gibson Building, Radcliffe Observatory Quarter, Woodstock Road. Theology is the oldest faculty in Oxford, and one of the oldest academic faculties in the world: as early as 1193, Alexander Neckham from St Albans is recorded as giving biblical and moral lectures in Oxford. The modern Faculty now includes approximately 200 students on three different undergraduate courses, and around 240 graduates pursuing both taught and research degrees across many different aspects of Theology and Religion. At the heart of the modern Faculty are the 19 postholders who hold full-time, permanent positions with the University. They have a particular responsibility for the Faculty’s teaching, research and academic leadership. Each is also a fellow and trustee of one of Oxford’s constituent Colleges; some have greater responsibilities to undergraduates, and others to graduates. Their academic research interests span biblical studies, ethics, Christian doctrine and Church history, as well as science and religion, philosophy, the anthropology of religion, Islam, Buddhism, Judaism, and Hinduism. Many Faculty postholders are leaders in their field, with international reputations. The Faculty is also enriched by an additional 27 teaching and research fellows, departmental lecturers, researchers and language teachers, plus around 100 other Faculty members, who hold positions in colleges and halls of the University. The particular subject areas and research interests of the University postholders and other Faculty members may be seen on the Faculty webpage.

The division has responsibility for over 500 members of academic staff, for over 4,000 undergraduates (more than a third of the total undergraduate population of the University), and for about 1,600 postgraduate students. The Division offers teaching and produces research of the highest international quality, which is backed by the extraordinary resources of the University’s libraries and museums. The Bodleian Library, one of the great libraries of the world, has a continuous history reaching back to the late sixteenth century. Its historical collections are outstanding, and as a legal deposit library it can claim a copy of every new title published in the UK. The Bodleian is now second in size only to the British Library. Every college has its own library, many of which have important holdings of their own. The Division’s 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 Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities (TORCH) fosters interdisciplinary engagement. For more information about the Division, please visit: www.humanities.ox.ac.uk.
