The Department of Social Policy and Intervention The Department of Social Policy and Intervention is a multidisciplinary, social science centre of excellence for research and teaching in comparative social policy and evidence-based social intervention and policy evaluation. In the UK-wide 2021 Research Excellence Framework (REF), it was a top-five scoring department in the country, across all subjects and universities, with 62 per cent of the Department’s research activity classified as ‘world leading’ (4*) with a further 30 per cent classed as ‘internationally excellent’ (3*). In the most recent QS World University Rankings by Subject (2022) the Department ranked second in Social Policy and Administration globally. The Department has undergone substantial transformation in recent years. This renewal includes the expansion of graduate teaching and supervision in policy evaluation and comparative social policy; December 2024 significant expansion in research income; and the creation of new research groups and areas of research expertise. The Department's teaching is largely devoted to graduate students. It offers master’s degrees in Comparative Social Policy (CSP) and in Evidence-Based Social Intervention and Policy Evaluation (EBSIPE). Students may study for either a one-year MSc or a two-year MPhil. The Department also offers supervision for doctoral degrees in Social Policy or in Social Intervention and Policy Evaluation. The graduate intake is highly international with students drawn from the United Kingdom, EU member states, and many countries across the world. Research within the Department is largely organised under the auspices of two main research groups: • • The Centre for Evidence-Based Intervention (CEBI) The Oxford Institute of Social Policy (OISP) The department is also a joint partner with INET Oxford in the Economics, inequality, and opportunity (EIO) research programme. More information about the department can be found at www.spi.ox.ac.uk.

December 2024 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 and our Department of Economics hold Athena Swan Silver awards. 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. 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 December 2024 in Civil Law (BCL), Environmental Change and Management, International Relations, and Social Data Science.

Nuffield College For more information please visit: https://www.nuffield.ox.ac.uk/ There are 38 self-governing and independent colleges at Oxford, giving both academic staff and students the benefits of belonging to a small, interdisciplinary community as well as to a large, internationallyrenowned institution. The collegiate system fosters a strong sense of community, bringing together leading academics and students across subjects, and from different cultures and countries. Nuffield College is a graduate college within the University of Oxford which was founded in 1937 and specialises in the Social Sciences, particularly Economics, Politics, and Sociology. It aims to be one of the world’s outstanding social science institutions, providing a stimulating research-orientated environment for postgraduate students, research fellows, and senior academics and promoting, according to its Charter, ’the study by co-operation between academic and non-academic persons of social (including economic and political) problems‘. About 30 students are admitted each year to undertake both taught masters courses and doctoral research for most of whom the College provides financial support in the form of studentships. In total there are about 100 students enrolled at any one time, many of whom either live in College or have offices in College. The College has 33 permanent academic Fellows (of whom 4 are College-funded Official Fellows), 15 nonacademic Visiting Fellows drawn from the world of business, industry, politics and administration; and a number of Research Officers working on research projects run by the College’s Fellows. The College enjoys strong links with the University’s social science departments and works closely with the Social Sciences Division. In addition, in 2024-25 there are 56 Research Fellows in College of whom 15 are College-funded Prize Postdoctoral Fellows, 5 are Prize Research Fellows funded jointly with the Economics Department, 4 are funded by Research Centres based in College, and the remainder are funded by external awards or by the Departments of Economics, Politics and International Relations, Sociology, Social Policy and Intervention, the Leverhulme Centre for Demographic Science, the Faculty of History, and the Global Priorities Institute. Nuffield College has been – and continues to be – the source of some of the major research developments in social science. These include the British Election Studies and the major programme of research on Social Mobility in Britain. It was the birthplace of the ’Oxford School’ of Industrial Relations; it pioneered the development of cost benefit analysis for developing countries; and it has made a major contribution to the methodology of econometrics. Professorial Fellowships at Nuffield College The Associate Professor will be elected to a Non-Tutorial, Professorial Fellowship at Nuffield College. Professorial Fellowships are typically linked with tenure-track academic positions within the University of Oxford (joint appointments), at the level of either associate or full professor. The post-holders are expected to engage in advanced study and research in their field of expertise, falling within the research areas of the College; to provide supervision and academic support for graduate students; to participate actively in the intellectual life of the College; and to take part in College governance. Professorial Fellows are expected to be members of the College’s Governing Body (subject to appointment as a charity trustee). Governing Body Fellows are ex officio trustees of the charity which is “The Warden and Fellows of Nuffield College in the University of Oxford”. December 2024 Research Facilities The size and specialised nature of the College enable its members to work closely with one another in a stimulating and research-orientated environment. A “critical mass” of students and Fellows working in the social sciences is helpful both in terms of facilities and of intellectual activity, such as the active seminar and conference programme. The College Library is one of the finest in the social sciences and functions as a research library, reflecting the academic interests of the Fellows. Fellows also have access to all the facilities of the Bodleian Library, including full-text access to nearly all journals in the social sciences. The College has an Information Systems Department to serve the computing needs of Fellows. The College provides facilities and grants for Fellows to invite academic visitors to the College to enable them to carry out collaborative work.
