While we have long traditions of scholarship, we are also forward-looking, creative and cuttingedge. Oxford is one of Europe's most entrepreneurial universities and we rank first in the UK for university spin-outs, and in recent years we have spun out 15-20 new companies every year. We are also recognised as leaders in support for social enterprise. Join us and you will find a unique, democratic and international community, a great range of staff benefits and access to a vibrant array of cultural activities in the beautiful city of Oxford. For more information, please visit www.ox.ac.uk/about/organisation. Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences Division The Mathematical, Physical, and Life Sciences (MPLS) Division is one of the four academic divisions of the University. Its nine academic departments span the full spectrum of the mathematical, computational, physical, and engineering and life sciences, and undertake both fundamental research and cutting-edge applied work. Research in MPLS tackles major societal and technological challenges – whether developing new energy solutions or improved cancer treatments, understanding climate change processes, or helping to preserve biodiversity – and is increasingly focused on key interdisciplinary issues. We collaborate closely with colleagues in Oxford across the medical sciences, social sciences and humanities and with other universities, research organisations and industrial partners across the globe in pursuit of innovative research geared to address critical and fundamental scientific questions. MPLS is proud to be the home of some of the most creative and innovative scientific thinkers and leaders working in academe. Our senior researchers have been awarded some of the most significant scientific honours, including the most recent award of a Nobel Prize for Physics 2020 to Sir Roger Penrose. Within MPLS we are as focused on the generation as we are on those who have gone before, having a strong tradition of attracting and nurturing the very best early career researchers who regularly secure prestigious fellowships and faculty positions. MPLS continues in its work to support diversity in its staffing, seeing that it will bring benefits to everyone. All academic departments in the Division hold Athena Swan Awards. (The Athena Swan Charter encourages and recognises commitment to advancing the careers of women in 4 science, technology, engineering, maths and medicine employment in higher education and research.) We have around 7,400 full and part-time students (including approximately 3,500 graduate students) and play a major role in training the next generation of leading scientists. Oxford's international reputation for excellence in teaching is reflected in its position at the top of the major league tables and subject assessments. MPLS academics educate students of high academic merit and potential from all over the world. Through a mixture of lectures, practical work and the distinctive college tutorial system, students develop their ability to solve major mathematical, scientific and engineering problems. MPLS is dedicated to bringing the wonder and potential of science to the attention of audiences far beyond the world of academia. We have a strong commitment to supporting public engagement in science through initiatives including the Oxford Sparks portal (http://www.oxfordsparks.net/) and the Science Together programme (https://www.mpls.ox.ac.uk/public-engagement/science-together-oxford-researchers-andcommunities). These are complemented by a large variety of outreach activities; these are crucial activities given so many societal and technological issues demand an understanding of the science that underpins them. We also bring the potential of our scientific efforts forward for practical and beneficial application to the real world and our desire, aided by the work of Oxford University Innovation and Oxford Science Enterprises, is to link our best scientific minds with industry and public policy makers. For more information about the MPLS division, please visit: http://www.mpls.ox.ac.uk/ Department of Materials The Department is one of nine within the Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences Division of the University of Oxford, and one of world’s leading materials teaching and research institutions. According to the UK’s Research Excellence Framework 2021 assessment (in a Unit of Assessment joint with Engineering Science), 97% of the Overall Research was awarded the 3* (26% - internationally excellent) and the highest 4* (71% - world-leading) rating. For Research Impact and Research Environment our submission was ranked first equal within the Unit of Assessment with 90% and 100% respectively of Oxford’s submission receiving the 4* rating, and overall we obtained the second highest percentage of 4* contributions within our Unit of Assessment. National league tables (Guardian, Times Good University Guide) regularly place us as the UK’s top materials department. Members of the Department, from graduate students to professors, win national and international awards for their contributions to materials science, including recognition from the Royal Society, the Royal Academy of Engineering and the American National Academy of Engineering. The Department is also active in commercialisation of its intellectual property through licensing to industry and setting up of spin-off companies. Materials science is a diverse and exciting discipline, and new directions in the Department’s research include energy storage materials and devices, and materials for quantum computing, while recently we have also significantly reinforced our leading strengths in materials characterisation, modelling and physical metallurgy. The Department has extensive laboratory space and supporting facilities spread over two main sites. The central main site, within the Oxford Science Area, Parks Road, has seven buildings. The second site is the Oxford University Begbroke Science Park, located five miles north of Oxford. A minibus provides transport between the two sites. The Department of Materials strives to ensure that all staff and students are given the opportunities and support they need to achieve their potential. We are committed to equality of 5 opportunities and to advancing women and underrepresented groups’ careers. We support staff returning from long-term absence and provide flexible arrangements for staff with caring responsibilities. Further information about family support can be found in the Standard Terms and Conditions. Our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Committee contributes to many aspects of our work, see https://www.materials.ox.ac.uk/edi#/ The Department of Materials holds a Bronze Athena Swan award to recognise advancement of gender equality, representation, progression and success for all. The Department is also member of WISE (https://www.wisecampaign.org.uk/) and AFBE-UK Association for Black and Minority Ethnic Engineers (https://www.afbe.org.uk/) As part of the department’s commitment to openness, inclusivity and transparency, we strongly encourage applications from all who consider they meet the requirements of the post, and particularly from women and ethnic minorities. TEACHING The teaching in the Department is regularly rated as high quality. We teach two four-year undergraduate degree programmes (M.Eng level). The joint intake for this course is about 42 a year. Around 52 graduates are accepted each year to study for research degrees. RESEARCH The Department has an outstanding record for world class research, as underlined by the UK Government’s most recent assessment of research excellence in UK universities, the 2021 REF <https://results2021.ref.ac.uk/ >, where Oxford Materials was one of the top-rated materials departments in the country. Annual external research funding in the Department is approximately £20 million, from industry, research councils, the EU and charities.
