The Oxford Internet Institute (OII) The Oxford Internet Institute – founded in 2001 - is a multidisciplinary research and teaching department of the University of Oxford, dedicated to the social science of the Internet. Digital connections are now embedded in almost every aspect of our daily lives, and research on individual and collective behaviour online is crucial to understanding our social, economic, and political world. o Research: We have unprecedented access to a huge volume of rich social data, and are developing new theories, concepts and methods to analyse it. 3 o o Teaching: Our Masters and doctoral programmes bring students from all over the world, to work with our faculty at the cutting edge of their fields. Policy: We provide the empirical data and conceptual analysis that is so needed to design policy solutions to societal problems. Our academic faculty and graduate students are drawn from many different disciplines: we believe this combined approach is essential to tackle society’s ‘big questions’. Together, we aim to positively shape the development of our digital world for the public good. The OII aims to operate at the cutting edge in both quantitative, qualitative and computational methodologies that cut across disciplines and topics. The core of our activity is to develop rigorous peerreviewed research and disseminate the outputs in high-quality journals, while working together with partners and stakeholders to inform and shape policy and practice. Our research focuses on areas critical to the public interest and in many cases to advancing fairness in technology. Our research has already delivered significant impact. Our faculty were among the first to draw the world’s attention to “fake news” and defined the concept of “big data”. They have undertaken ground-breaking research into technology and wellbeing using real-time industry data and persuaded major global firms to adopt new methods and practices. OII researchers have developed the first global ratings system for firms operating in the gig economy and had a significant role in influencing the online harms debate in the UK. Our four teaching programmes graduate around 80 students a year across our two Masters programmes in addition to around seven doctoral students. Many of our talented alumni go on to perform important roles and achieve significant accomplishments in the world of policymaking, technology development, civil society and academia. In 2025, the OII will take up residence in the new Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities, moving from our current location across three sites on St Giles. For more information about the Oxford Internet Institute please visit https://www.oii.ox.ac.uk/. 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 2022. We have placed first in three of the last five years (2018, 2019 and 2022). 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 4 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 non-governmental 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, eight of our departments have achieved bronze Athena SWAN awards (a UK accreditation scheme recognising organisations’ commitment to equality and diversity, particularly in gender): Archaeology, the Blavatnik School of Government, Economics, Education, International Development, Law, Anthropology & Museum Ethnography, and the Saïd Business School. Our School of Geography and the Environment holds an Athena SWAN silver award. All of our other departments are either in the process of applying or are scheduled to do so shortly. 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.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevE.102.053201 The role The Laser Plasma Accelerator Group in the Department of Physics, Oxford seeks to recruit a postdoctoral research assistants to work in their world-leading research programme on laserdriven plasma accelerators. The group, led by Prof. Simon Hooker, works on many aspects of laser-driven plasma accelerators and their applications. The group is a member of the John Adams Institute for Accelerator Science (JAI), a UK centre of excellence for accelerator science. The laser plasma accelerator group has a strong interest in developing new approaches for achieving controlled, high-energy plasma acceleration at high (up to several kHz) pulse repetition rates. As part of this effort the group has developed new types of plasma channel – the hydrodynamic optical-field-ionized (HOFI) plasma channel – which could be ideally suited for GeV-scale accelerators operating at high repetition rates. In parallel the group is developing methods to control the injection of electrons in plasma wakefields by laser ionization of spatiotemporal ultrafast laser pulses and optically-generated density ramps. The primary research topic associated with this post is the plasma-modulated plasma accelerator (P-MoPA). In this approach a long (~ 1 ps), high-energy (joule scale) “drive” laser pulse from a thin-disk laser (TDL) is modulated spectrally by co-propagation in a plasma channel with a low-amplitude plasma wave driven by a short, low-energy “seed” laser pulse. The spectrally-modulated drive pulse can then be converted to a train of short laser pulses which can, in turn, resonantly drive a large amplitude plasma wave in a second plasma channel. Simulations and proof-of-principle experiments suggest that it could be possible to accelerate electrons to GeV-scale energies with kHz-repetition-rate TDLs. In this role you would undertake research into the physics and operation of all aspects of PMoPAs. This would include research on plasma channels; methods for controlling electron injection, trapping, acceleration, and bunch extraction; and radiation generation from P-MoPAaccelerated electron bunches. You would be required to develop, lead, and analyze a programme of numerical simulations relating to all aspects of our research programme on PMoPAs. This would include simulations to test concepts, optimize experiment design, and interpret experimental results.

The programme of simulations will be undertaken in parallel with an extensive programme of experiments. You would be required to engage strongly with the experimental programme. The work will be undertaken in collaboration with Prof. Stefan Karsch of the Centre for Advanced Laser Applications (CALA), Munich. Short research trips to this, and other, international research laboratories will be required. Responsibilities • Undertaking original research within the scope of the research project. This will include leading a programme of numerical simulations relating to all aspects of the P-MoPA programme, including testing new concepts, optimizing experiment design, and interpreting experimental results. • Writing-up the results of the research programme for publication in academic journals. • Presenting results at international conferences. • Managing the research group’s use of local, national, and international high-performance computing facilities. • Providing day-to-day supervision of graduate and undergraduate students working in the research group. • Supporting the day-to-day running of the research group and undertaking associated administrative duties.

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 non-governmental 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, eleven 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. 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 6 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.

Diverse in age, size and scope, all contribute significantly to the core activities of the University: learning and teaching; research; and wider engagement with society. Conference of Colleges has two main functions. It enables the colleges, as self-governing and financially independent institutions, to act collectively on issues that matter to them. This may range from sharing information and good practice to acting together to procure expert advice or services. The Conference also acts as a voice for college interests within the University community. It enables Colleges to debate and act upon the key issues of the day and to develop shared views and policies. This enables a collective college perspective to be communicated widely and to influence University decisionmaking. The Conference Secretariat exists to support Conference in its functions.

The Secretariat is a team of 7 staff, each with expertise and responsibility in different areas of policy and operations.

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 2022. We have placed first in three of the last five years (2018, 2019 and 2022). 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.

This position is being offered on a fixed-term basis as the outcome and future need for the duties of the role are uncertain, because provision in this area is currently being reviewed. Applications are welcome from candidates who are active professional musicians on any instrument (including voice) and in any tradition, and/or who have substantial experience of teaching performance at an institution of higher education, or the equivalent. The successful candidate will have the potential to enhance the high reputation of the Faculty in teaching, research and musical performance. The successful candidate will have a proven record of or an ongoing commitment to performance at a high level. The person appointed will be required to provide a range of lectures, seminars, workshops and masterclasses for the Faculty of Music to support various aspects of the Faculty’s teaching and research in performance and performance studies. The appointee will be required to provide teaching at both undergraduate and graduate levels, and to undertake examining, graduate supervision, and administrative duties where appropriate. Candidates should have a degree (or equivalent) in Music, and evidence of advanced training in musical performance. They should have acquired teaching and administrative experience. The role Performance is at the strategic heart of the work of the Oxford Faculty of Music. Academic study of music forms the core of the Faculty’s teaching and research, but the Faculty also recruits some of the most able undergraduate and graduate performers. In the first year, the solo performance option accounts for 20% of their overall mark; in the final year, the overall figure can reach 37.5% of a candidate's final mark. Currently, around 82% of the first year and over 50% of the third year are undertaking solo performance as part of their examinations. Equally, the study and practice of performance form an integral part of the Oxford syllabus, and the Faculty is committed to the on-going development of critical approaches to performance and to practice-led research. This post brings together the academic, creative and practice-based aspects of its teaching and research; to support, encourage and develop performance opportunities for all its students; and to help build bridges between academia and the musical professions. The person appointed should be in a position to be able to articulate and to engage students in issues of practiceled research. The appointee needs to be aware of current trends in musical research, and to be committed to working in an environment where research and practice are equally valued and respected. It is understood that the appointee may wish to combine this position with continuing activity as a professional musician. Undergraduate Lecturing and Teaching The person appointed will be expected to make a full contribution to the teaching of performance and performance studies in the Faculty. The Faculty admits around 70 new undergraduates each year to read for the BA in Music. Faculty teaching consists principally of lectures and seminars, supported by occasional workshops and masterclasses. For the Preliminary Examination (‘Prelims’) in Music (first year), students follow lectures, classes and tutorials in historical and musicological topics, techniques of composition, keyboard skills and musical analysis, and a choice of two options in performance, composition, extended essay and issues in the study of music. For the Final Honour School (‘FHS’) in Music (second and third years), students follow core courses in the history of Western music from c.1000 to the present day, musical analysis and criticism, compositional techniques and ‘musical thought and scholarship’, and can choose from a wide range of options including ethnomusicology, the psychology of music, aesthetics, performance (solo, chamber music, and choral), composition, orchestration, editing, dissertation, and many specialized historical and repertoire topics. Lecturers are encouraged to develop their teaching in relation to their research expertise. Oxford is fortunate in being able to recruit high-quality, motivated undergraduates who respond enthusiastically to a broad and challenging syllabus, and who are extremely rewarding to teach. A significant number of students each year proceed to postgraduate courses in performance at major conservatoires in the UK and abroad. Graduate Teaching and Supervision The person appointed will be expected to play an active role in the graduate environment of the Faculty. The Faculty admits approximately 30 new graduate Master students each year from a large and international body of applicants, of which 3 or 4 are likely to be studying performance. It runs a one-year taught Master of Studies (MSt) programme with pathways in musicology, composition and performance, as well as MPhil and DPhil research degrees. The MPhil also allows for specialization in composition, performance and musicology, while the DPhil caters for a very wide variety of types of musical scholarship, as well as composition (but not currently performance). Teaching on the MSt is delivered through a programme of seminars across the first two terms, followed by one-to-one supervision for dissertations and composition portfolios. The Faculty also provides a series of specialist research training seminars, and encourages graduate students to take up opportunities for training in tutoring and other teaching. Research students are typically supervised by a single member of the Faculty, although joint supervision arrangements also exist. Responsibilities The person will be required to undertake the following duties: a) Under the direction of the Board of the Faculty of Music and in consultation with the Director of Undergraduate Studies, to give classes and coaching; this will require articulate feedback on a range of instruments and voice as appropriate in Prelims and FHS performance studies, as well as FHS ensemble performance. It will also require other teaching as requested. It will include - as and where appropriate contributing to syllabus development, modifying course design and producing lecture notes, course materials, and reference guides. Such teaching activities (with (b)) will amount to the equivalent of a day a week during each of the three full terms; July 2025 2 b) Under the direction of the Board of the Faculty of Music and in consultation with the MSt Coordinator, to give classes and coaching, as appropriate, in MSt performance studies; this will require articulate feedback on a range of instruments and voice.

You will analyse immunological data from the ChAdOx1 NipahB vaccine trial, aiming to help identify a set of immune markers which might serve as early correlates of protection (CoP) against Nipah virus disease. You will work with immunologists, mathematical modellers and statisticians to develop new frameworks to interpret and evaluate state-of-the-art immune markers as CoPs in vaccine trials and real-world effectiveness studies. This is a highly multidisciplinary, fixed-term position based at the University of Oxford’s PSI, funded by CEPI and the Wellcome Trust. The role will require close collaboration between data analysts, modellers, immunologists, and trial specialists at the PSI, the International Centre for Diarrheal Disease Research Bangladesh (icddr,b) and the Bangladesh Institute of Epidemiology, Disease Control and Research (IECDR). In addition to carrying out research to inform ongoing vaccine trial efforts, you will have the opportunity to undertake funded training in machine learning and vaccinology. You will be part of the wider Pathogen Dynamics group with substantial opportunity for collaboration and career development. About you The position is suitable for a highly motivated statistician, mathematical modeller, or computational biologist with expertise in statistics and an interest in immunology, epidemiology and vaccinology. You will hold, or be near completion of, a PhD/DPhil in a relevant quantitative field and have expertise in analysing complex datasets using machine learning methods and/or statistics. Proficiency in R, Python, Julia, or other relevant programming languages is essential. Experience working with systems immunology data will be an advantage, as will evidence of successful collaboration with lab-based researchers. About the project This project aims to identify potential markers of rapid onset protection after ChAdOx1 NipahB vaccination. Pre-clinical studies show vaccine-induced protection from Nipah disease within a week post-vaccination, before neutralising antibodies (nAbs) are detectable. The first aim of this project is to model the early immune response to ChAdOx1 NipahB in phase 1 trials in UK and Bangladesh, using systems immunology to identify a subset of early response markers which are applicable across populations. This will include data from assays such as ELISA, pseudovirus neutralisation, ELISPOT, systems serology, B and T cell receptor sequencing, and transcriptomics. In the first project phase, you will develop a machine learning and statistical analysis pipeline to describe the kinetics of immune markers in the first few days following Nipah vaccination. From this, we will identify a smaller set of measurements and timepoints representative of the overall early response, and work with our lab collaborators to guide development of robust and easy-to-deliver assays. You will use 1 a range of statistical and machine learning methods, including clustering, dimensionality reduction (e.g., PCA, tSNE), and classification algorithms (e.g., random forest classifiers). There is also potential to develop mathematical models of the early immune response. You will then work with the PRESTO project (PREpare using Simulated Trial Optimisation) team in the Pathogen Dynamics Group; a CEPI-funded project to accelerate the estimation of vaccine efficacy and real-world effectiveness by simulating vaccine trial and study designs. There is a disconnect between the level of detailed, multifaceted immunological insights which can be drawn in the lab, and their inclusion in vaccine trials and real-world evidence studies. You will act as a liaison between the ChAdOx1 NipahB trial and PRESTO teams to bridge these areas through building statistical and mathematical frameworks, investigating how early phase immunological data can help streamline the vaccine evaluation process through “immunobridging”. Finally, you will provide analytical support for the second phase of the Nipah study, which will run a large paramyxovirus serosurvey in Bangladesh, aiming to identify possible antibody cross-reactivity between Nipah and other paramyxoviruses. This will motivate development of a T-cell reactivity panel looking for evidence of cross-reactive immunity. About the group You will work closely with Dr James Hay (Research Fellow; mathematical modelling). We develop mathematical and epidemiological models to better understand infectious disease epidemiology and immunology from serologic and virologic data. Our overarching goal is to improve the way that we track and predict the spread of infectious diseases, focusing on the interaction of pathogen and host factors, which can be measured in the lab, with epidemiological factors, measured at the population level. We use a combination of mathematical models (e.g. compartmental models, agent-based models) and statistical methods (e.g. hierarchical Bayesian models, custom Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms), and thus there are opportunities to develop a wide range of skills during the position. You will become part of a large network of infectious disease modelers with collaborators around the world. You will also be part of the Pathogen Dynamics group, led by Professor Christophe Fraser. The group works on a range of pathogens and approaches in genetics and modeling, ranging from HIV genomics to COVID19 contact tracing apps. You will also work closely with Dr Rachel Kenneil (Postdoctoral Researcher; antibody assay specialist), and Professor Dame Sarah Gilbert (Professor of Vaccinology; principal investigator), who lead the lab side of the project. This is a fantastic opportunity for close interdisciplinary collaboration with the worldleading vaccine group which developed the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine. Informal enquiries are welcome to James Hay (james.hay@ndm.ox.ac.uk). Responsibilities You will: • • • • • • Contribute to research projects in systems immunology, vaccinology and vaccine trials. Develop a reproducible informatics pipeline to analyse large volumes of immunological data in collaboration with the study team. Develop new statistical frameworks for evaluating multiple correlates of protection in vaccine trials and real-world evidence studies. Manage own academic research and administrative activities. This involves small scale project management, to co-ordinate multiple aspects of work to meet deadlines. Work closely with the laboratory team and international collaborators to interpret findings and advise on further study plans. Act as a liaison between experimental and computational researchers working on vaccine trials. 2 • • • • • • Stay up to date with the latest advances and publications in the field, integrating new methods into the project and engaging in regular scientific discussions with the team. Contribute to the production of scientific publications and submit presentations to international conferences. Contribute ideas and expertise for project directions, new projects, and grants. Represent the research group at internal and external meetings/seminars, either with other members of the group or alone. Participate in and support the public engagement and widening access activities of the Department and the University. This is anticipated to be not more than 2 days per year. Undertake mandatory training as required by the University, Division and Department. The specific list of training courses may change from time-to-time, in response to both legal and internal University requirements. Job descriptions can never be comprehensive and you may be required to undertake other similar tasks and responsibilities.

To better understand them and increase the probability of successful drug development, we need evidence of target pathogenicity and pathway modulation in human disease-relevant in vitro models. This is a new collaboration between Associate Professor Katherine Bull’s renal pathology group and GlaxoSmithKline within the framework of the Oxford-GSK Institute for Molecular and Computational Medicine (IMCM https://www.imcm.ox.ac.uk). The project goal is to develop a microfluidic co-culture glomerular platform, incorporating immune challenge to mimic autoimmune kidney disease. The platform will be used to test assets and pathways of interest within the GSK portfolio, with read-outs linked to human kidney single cell omics data for clinical relevance. The role will involve testing GSK assets and targets in established models of podocyte and mesangial cell pathology relevant to glomerular diseases. You will also establish and validate microfluidic coculture systems using human glomerular cells, benchmarking against human kidney multi-omic and spatial datasets. These platforms will then be developed to model immune mediated kidney injury. Quantitative and reproducible read-outs in the above assays will be correlated to human kidney ‘omics data, to measure the impact of manipulation of pathways.

Please read the candidate notes on the University’s pre-employment screening procedures at: https://www.jobs.ox.ac.uk/pre-employment-checks About the Astrophoria Foundation Year Programme The Astrophoria Foundation Year (AFY) Programme admitted its first students for entry in October 2023, with 22 students on the course in the first year, rising to 50 by 2027. It is a one-year fully-funded foundation programme for UK state school students with significant academic potential, who have experienced severe personal disadvantage and/or disrupted education which has resulted in them being unable to apply directly for an Oxford undergraduate degree programme. Unlike foundation years at some other universities, the AFY is not intended to be a conversion-course equivalent to redoing A-levels, instead AFY will be admitting bright students whose academic studies have been disrupted by extensive disadvantage but who have potential and are considered able to be able to flourish on an undergraduate course at Oxford given an additional year of teaching. AFY enables motivated students to reach their academic potential at Oxford through a supportive and challenging academic course aimed at developing each individual student’s confidence, self-belief and personal achievement. Foundation Year students apply through UCAS for their undergraduate degree course with a foundation year (e.g English with Foundation Year). They are selected through a subject specific rigorous admission process similar to the UG admissions process and are made of lower grades entry offers such as, for English, BBB at A level (or equivalent Level 3 qualification). Foundation Year students who pass the Foundation Year at the required standard will be admitted to their course of application without the need to re-apply. Candidates who choose to study elsewhere or do not meet the progression standard but none the less pass the course will be awarded a CertHE qualification. AFY Classics Subject lead JD 2025 clean 5 The AFY courses comprise subject specific teaching and the Preparation for Undergraduate Studies Course (PUGS). The PUGS course offers students an opportunity to develop the skills required to be a successful undergraduate student and meet many of the selection criteria required by the courses to which we hope AFY students will progress. As such, PUGS is the core foundational and underpinning element of the AFY overall – supporting the AFY cohort to develop the essential skills that they need to deploy in the study of their respective subject areas. This fundamental nature leads to PUGS representing about 50% of the individual contact time that AFY students will receive. The purpose of students taking AFY rather than remedial A-level (or equivalent) teaching is the university teaching context which encourages them to think for themselves, learning to compare and assess sources as well as understanding topics deeply, rather than merely regurgitating content. The AFY will give them the enhanced study experience similar to that offered at a very successful school and in the process will boost their confidence in using factual knowledge,but is not expected to deliver large amounts of new material.

You will provide advice and guidance to less experienced members of the research group including students where appropriate. This role has arisen from the award of a major new grant of around £6.7 million from the Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA) – a UK government funding agency. This grant is shared between three groups and covers a 3-year period. This is translational funding to further develop technology that we have invented to assemble large DNA molecules of any sequence with ease. Using this technology, it is possible to rapidly and simply assemble DNA molecules up to hundreds of thousands of base-pairs in length. We have progressively improved and simplified this technology which uses recombinant DNA methylases as published in PubMed link and PubMed link. The current project will refine the technology and streamline it for widespread use. Our initial aim is to use this technology to generate synthetic organelle genomes, but it has many other potential applications. With our collaborators we aim to generate synthetic chloroplast genomes and test these in relevant crop plants including potato (Solanum tuberosum) and wheat (Triticum aestivum). The synthetic chloroplast genomes will include multiple naturally occurring variants which will convey desirable properties on crop plants such as increased yield, disease resistance and resilience to climate change. There is huge potential for this work to lead to further major scientific publications, to new patentable intellectual property and to commercialisation of the technology and plants. You will undertake cutting-edge work to help develop this technology to a form that is suitable for translation for widespread use. This is an exciting opportunity with huge potential. Your primary role will be to assist in planning and carrying out experiments and analysing the results within Professor Chris O’Callaghan’s laboratory (https://www.chg.ox.ac.uk/research/research-groups/ocallaghan-group-1) with Dr Nathali FloresFernandez. This will involve molecular biology and biochemistry to undertake DNA assembly including generating constructs and testing new approaches. There may also be some expression and 1 purification of recombinant enzymes such as methylases. There may be scope for some bioinformatic/computational analysis, but this is primarily a laboratory-based post. The laboratory is well-equipped for this work and for testing the function of assembled DNA molecules. The project will enjoy a high level of funding and if successful there is potential for a further 3-year phase of funding to be awarded. The project collaborators include Professor Francesco Licausi and Professor Steve Kelly. This is an exciting training position offering a well-supported position in a well-funded laboratory to work on an important new project as part of a wider collaborative team. Responsibilities You will: • • • • • • • • • • • • • Manage your own academic research and administrative activities within guidelines provided by senior colleagues. Contribute to wider project planning, including ideas for new research projects. Determine the most appropriate methodologies to test hypotheses, and identify suitable alternatives if technical problems arise. Select, follow, and adapt experimental protocols.

The academic divisions are responsible for academic oversight of the teaching and research of their constituent departments and faculties, for strategic and operational planning, and for personnel and resource management. The Head of the Social Sciences Division is Professor Timothy Power, who is a member of the University’s Council.The Social Sciences Division is a world-leading centre of research and education in the social sciences. The social sciences at Oxford are distinctive for both their depth and breadth, with activity spanning fourteen departments and faculties and one cross-divisional unit. (These are as follows: Law, the Saïd Business School, Economics, Politics and International Relations, the Blavatnik School of Government, the School of Anthropology and Museum Ethnography, International Development, Sociology, Social Policy and Intervention, the Oxford Internet Institute, Archaeology, the School of Interdisciplinary Area Studies, Education, the School of Geography and the Environment and the Oxford Martin School.) Interdisciplinary links within and beyond the university are strong, extending to the humanities, natural sciences, and medical sciences. Academic and research staff and research students are engaged in world-leading research that challenges current ideas and theories and is tackling some of the major challenges facing humanity, such as sustainable resource management, migration, governance, poverty and development, and justice. REF 2014 confirmed Oxford as the UK powerhouse for research in the social sciences, where Oxford accounted for more world-leading (4*) research than any other institution, across the social sciences units of assessment to which it made submissions. The division has an extensive portfolio of external funders and collaborators, with competitively-awarded external research income exceeding £40million per year. Researchers in the division engage actively beyond academia and their research has influence in many spheres from innovation in public policymaking to practitioner communities such as law, business, education, social welfare and NGOs. MacroCB7_RA Job Description and Person Specification 6 The division also delivers an exceptional range of high quality educational programmes (undergraduate, postgraduate taught and postgraduate research), all of which are underpinned by the innovative research being undertaken by our academics.

In particular, the research will focus on evaluating and extending a theory proposed by Urbanczik & Senn (2014, Neuron) suggesting that plasticity is driven by prediction errors generated within neurons when the activity in dendrites does not match the activity in the soma.

 

The post holder will work as a part of an interdisciplinary team including experimental neuroscientists studying learning in brain networks in Oxford, as well as other theoretical neuroscientists modelling learning processes in Oxford and Imperial College London. The post holder will also be a member of a research group of Professor Rafal Bogacz, and based in the MRC Brain Network Dynamics Unit, which includes an interdisciplinary community of neurobiologists, engineers and computational scientists.

 

Please see the below 'Job Description' for further details on the responsibilities and selection criteria, as well as further information about the university and how to apply.

 

 

The post is full time for a fixed term of 2 years in the first instance, with an initial probationary period, to start on or after 1st October 2025, with latest end date 30th September 2028.

The ZERO Institute (Zero-carbon Energy Research Oxford) This research programme will be aligned with the newly formed ZERO Institute. A major global challenge for the next half century is to stop climate change. Over 70% of the greenhouse gases responsible for climate change come from the conversion and use of energy. The transition to a zero-carbon energy system is therefore critical for climate change mitigation. To address this challenge, the ZERO Institute is bringing together leading academics and external organisations to tackle questions surrounding zero-carbon energy systems and their implementation. The goal of ZERO is to accelerate the transition to a just zero-carbon energy system. Achieving this requires systems thinking as well as the development and adoption of new technologies and infrastructure. In addition, innovation will be required in business models, institutions, policy and society. ZERO will build on the University’s extensive energy research activities, which span more than 20 departments and 200 researchers. It aims to consolidate Oxford’s position as a centre of research excellence and thought leadership on a global and equitable zero-carbon transition.

Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences A top ranked centre for academic primary care in the UK, we lead world-class research and training to rethink the way healthcare is delivered in general practice and other primary care settings, both across the UK and globally. Integrating evidence and innovation, our main research focus is on enhancing prevention, early diagnosis and management of common illness. Our research is led by internationally-renowned scientists; many of whom are practising GPs and primary care clinicians. Many others are psychologists, epidemiologists, sociologists, and public health academics. We cover the broad range of issues that you might expect to address in the community, including cardiovascular and metabolic disease, infectious diseases and childhood illness, diet, smoking and cancer. We also focus on understanding and improving the experiences of patients, rigorously evaluating the effectiveness of treatments and diagnostics, utilising big data, developing digital health interventions and working internationally. We have methodological expertise in novel clinical trial design and implementation, clinical decision-making and diagnostics, clinical epidemiology, medical statistics, behavioural science, modelling, qualitative research and the wider application of social science theory and methods to address practical and theoretical challenges in health and care settings. The department was established in October 1998 (as the Department of Primary Health Care) with the appointment of a foundation chair in general practice, and was made a free-standing department in 2011 with the first Oxford statutory chair in primary care. We provide a strong multi-disciplinary training environment, a full programme of academic support and good IT facilities. Our ability to collaborate with other epidemiological and community based research groups across the University and with GP surgeries locally and nationally enables us to utilise a broad range of relevant expertise into our teaching and research. 5 Our main research themes coalesce around cardiovascular disease and diabetes, infection, cancer, health behaviours, and digital health, with several cross-cutting themes, including disease prevention, early diagnosis, and patient self-management, big data and new clinical themes. We place inclusivity and diversity at the forefront of our approach to research from design and conduct through to the dissemination of our findings. The department has exceptional infrastructure, including the long-established Primary Care Clinical Trials Unit, one of the most expert CTU’s for trials conducted in community settings. We also host the Oxford Institute for Digital Health; the Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science; the Oxford Centre for EvidenceBased Medicine; the Interdisciplinary Research in Health Sciences research group (which uses both quantitative and qualitative methods to examine the human, organisational and societal issues relating to the delivery of healthcare and the improvement of health services); and the Medical Sociology and Health Experiences Research Group (MS HERG), which is a centre of excellence in qualitative research methods and conducts studies of experiences of health and illness, digital health and organisation and delivery of care. The department is a founding member of the National Institute for Health Care Research (NIHR) School of Primary Care Research, houses both the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration (ARC), Oxford Thames Valley and the NIHR MedTech and In Vitro Diagnostics Co-operative (MIC), and leads several themes of the Oxford University Hospital and Oxford Health BRCs. In terms of methodologies, as well as our critical mass of social scientists and computer/information scientists, the department supports one of the largest groups of medical statisticians in medical sciences and a growing team of health economists. Clinicians in our department teach a number of threads in the undergraduate course in Medicine and we place students in GP practices as part of their training. We run a very successful, well-established MSc programme in Evidence Based Health Care, and a new MSc in Translational Health Science with the Department of Continuing Education. In 2023 we accepted the first students to a new MSc in Applied Digital Health and to an MSc in Global Health Care Leadership run in partnership with the Said Business School. The University of Oxford is a member of the Athena SWAN Charter to promote women in Science, Engineering, Technology and Medicine and holds an Athena SWAN Silver award at institutional level.

You will have access to the infrastructure, tools, and expertise to develop and implement a wide range of methodologies such as using cutting-edge visual modelling, innovative and carefully-designed behavioural experiments, in-silico reconstructions of animal interactions, and bio-mimetic robotic systems. You will benefit from a vibrant and inclusive research community, with career development support.

 

About you

You will have strong interests in social behaviour, sensory ecology, and predator-prey interactions, ideally with experience in running behavioural experiments on fish in the field or the lab, coupled with strong computational skills in R and/or Python relating to data management and analysis.

 

An essential requirement for this role is that the post holder is willing to spend up to 8 weeks of continuous time on fieldwork at various locations, managing a small team of research assistants and graduate students, sometimes in remote tropical locations with little infrastructure, and can drive a 4x4 vehicle in difficult terrain within six months of the post commencing.

 

Candidates who have submitted their final PhD thesis at the point of interview and are awaiting final examination are eligible to apply for this role.

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 4 divisions at Oxford, we engage and collaborate extensively with other universities and a wide range of governmental and non-governmental 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. 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.

We are seeking to appoint a Postdoctoral Research Scientist in Molecular Biology to work on synthetic genome DNA assembly in the University of Oxford.

 

This is an exciting opportunity arising from a major new grant of £6.7 million from the Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA) – a UK government funding agency. You will work with Professor Chris O'Callaghan and Dr Nathali Flores-Fernandez on further development and application of our DNA assembly technology to create synthetic organelle genomes. This synthetic biology project aims to move rapidly to translation with real-world testing of synthetic chloroplast genomes in relevant crop plants including potato (Solanum tuberosum) and wheat (Triticum aestivum) with Professors Steve Kelly and Francesco Licausi. Synthetic genomes will incorporate multiple variants that have arisen independently in nature and have potential to improve desirable properties, such as resistance to disease and environmental/ climate stress. This is a great opportunity to develop skills in state-of-the-art techniques while working on a project with major potential for high impact.

 

Your primary role will be to assist in planning and to carry out experiments and analyse the results within Professor Chris O’Callaghan’s laboratory (https://www.chg.ox.ac.uk/research/research-groups/ocallaghan-group-1). This will involve molecular biology and biochemistry to undertake DNA assembly including generating constructs and testing new approaches. This is a translational project to further develop and apply technology that we have invented to assemble large DNA molecules of any sequence with ease. Using this technology, it is possible to rapidly and simply assemble DNA molecules up to hundreds of thousands of base-pairs in length. We have progressively improved and simplified this technology which uses recombinant DNA methylases as published in PubMed link and PubMed link. There may also be some expression and purification of recombinant enzymes such as methylases. There is also scope for some bioinformatic/ computational analysis but this is primarily a laboratory-based post. The laboratory is well equipped for this work and for testing the function of assembled DNA molecules. The project will enjoy a high level of funding and if successful there is potential for a further 3-year phase of funding to be awarded. The project collaborators include Professor Francesco Licausi and Professor Steve Kelly.

 

You will be responsible for managing your own academic research and administrative activities, adapting existing and developing new scientific techniques and experimental protocols.

 

It is essential that you hold a PhD/DPhil (or be close to completion) in a relevant discipline such as molecular/synthetic biology, biochemistry, biophysics, biological chemistry, biotechnology or enzymology (or related subject). You will also have proven experience and confidence in any of these disciplines. You will have excellent organisational skills including data management and record keeping, and have excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to write for publications, present research proposals and results, and represent the research group at meetings.

We are seeking to appoint a Research Assistant in Molecular Biology who will be a member of a research group and will support and carry out research on DNA assembly of synthetic genomes.

 

This is an exciting opportunity with huge potential. Your primary role will be to assist in planning and carrying out experiments and analysing the results within Professor Chris O’Callaghan’s laboratory (https://www.chg.ox.ac.uk/research/research-groups/ocallaghan-group-1) with Dr Nathali Flores-Fernandez. This will involve molecular biology and biochemistry to undertake DNA assembly including generating constructs and testing new approaches. There may also be some expression and purification of recombinant enzymes such as methylases. There may be scope for some bioinformatic/computational analysis, but this is primarily a laboratory-based post. The laboratory is well-equipped for this work and for testing the function of assembled DNA molecules. The project will enjoy a high level of funding and if successful there is potential for a further 3-year phase of funding to be awarded. The project collaborators include Professor Francesco Licausi and Professor Steve Kelly. This is an exciting training position offering a well-supported position in a well-funded laboratory to work on an important new project as part of a wider collaborative team.

 

This role has arisen from the award of a major new grant of around £6.7 million from the Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA) – a UK government funding agency. This grant is shared between three groups and covers a 3-year period. This is translational funding to further develop technology that we have invented to assemble large DNA molecules of any sequence with ease. Using this technology, it is possible to rapidly and simply assemble DNA molecules up to hundreds of thousands of base-pairs in length. We have progressively improved and simplified this technology which uses recombinant DNA methylases as published in PubMed link and PubMed link. The current project will refine the technology and streamline it for widespread use. Our initial aim is to use this technology to generate synthetic organelle genomes, but it has many other potential applications. With our collaborators we aim to generate synthetic chloroplast genomes and test these in relevant crop plants including potato (Solanum tuberosum) and wheat (Triticum aestivum).

 

With a degree in molecular biology, biochemistry, biotechnology, biological chemistry, synthetic biology or related subject, you will be responsible for managing your own academic research and administrative activities within guidelines provided by senior colleagues, contributing to the wider project planning, including ideas for new projects. You will have good organisational and laboratory skills and be good at record keeping with good written and verbal communication skills.

 

It is essential that you currently have relevant experience in molecular biology, biochemistry, biotechnology, biological chemistry, synthetic biology (or related subject) and possess sufficient specialist knowledge and experience in the discipline to work within the proposed research programme.  You will also have experience in laboratory work, following and adapting protocols, and selecting appropriate experimental methodologies with good laboratory skills, planning and organisation for the development of experimental work.

 

Applications for this vacancy should be made online and you will need to upload a supporting statement and CV. Your supporting statement must explain how you meet each of the selection criteria for the post using examples of your skills and experience. Please restrict your documentation to your CV and supporting statement only. Any other documents will be requested at a later date.

This position is offered full time on a fixed term contract until 28 May 2028 and is funded by the Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA).

 

Only applications received before 12 midday on 4 August 2025 will be considered. Please quote 180419 on all correspondence.

Informal enquiries should be addressed to Prof Chris O’Callaghan (chris.ocallaghan@ndm.ox.ac.uk).

Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences A top ranked centre for academic primary care in the UK, we lead world-class research and training to rethink the way healthcare is delivered in general practice and other primary care settings, both across the UK and globally. Integrating evidence and innovation, our main research focus is on enhancing prevention, early diagnosis and management of common illness. Our research is led by internationally renowned scientists, many of whom are practising GPs and primary care clinicians, but many others are psychologists, epidemiologists, sociologists, and public health academics. We cover the broad range of issues that you might expect to address in the community, including cardiovascular and metabolic disease, infectious diseases and childhood illness, diet, smoking and cancer. We also focus on understanding and improving the experiences of patients, rigorously evaluating the effectiveness of treatments and diagnostics, utilising big data, developing digital health interventions and working internationally. We have methodological expertise in novel clinical trial design and implementation, clinical decision making and diagnostics, clinical epidemiology, medical statistics, behavioural science, modelling, qualitative research and the wider application of social science theory and methods to address practical and theoretical challenges in health and care settings. The department was established in October 1998 (as the Department of Primary Health Care) with the appointment of a foundation chair in general practice, and was made a free-standing department in 2011 with the first Oxford statutory chair in primary care. We provide a strong multi-disciplinary training environment, a full programme of academic support and good IT facilities. Our ability to collaborate with other epidemiological and community based research groups across the University and with GP surgeries locally and nationally enables us to utilise a broad range of relevant expertise into our teaching and research. 5 Our main research themes coalesce around cardiovascular disease and diabetes, infection, cancer, health behaviours, and digital health, with several cross-cutting themes, including disease prevention, early diagnosis, and patient self-management, big data and new clinical themes. We place inclusivity and diversity at the forefront of our approach to research from design and conduct through to the dissemination of our findings. The department has exceptional infrastructure, including the long-established Primary Care Clinical Trials Unit, one of the most expert CTU’s for trials conducted in community settings. We also host the Oxford Institute for Digital Health, the Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science, the Oxford Centre for EvidenceBased Medicine; the Interdisciplinary Research in Health Sciences research group (which uses both quantitative and qualitative methods to examine the human, organisational and societal issues relating to the delivery of healthcare and the improvement of health services) and the Medical Sociology and Health Experiences Research Group (MS HERG), which is a centre of excellence in qualitative research methods and conducts studies of experiences of health and illness, digital health and organisation and delivery of care. The department is a founding member of the National Institute for Health Care Research (NIHR) School of Primary Care Research, houses both the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration (ARC), Oxford Thames Valley and the NIHR MedTech and In Vitro Diagnostics Co-operative (MIC), and leads several themes of the Oxford University Hospital and Oxford Health BRCs. In terms of methodologies, as well as our critical mass of social scientists and computer/information scientists, the department supports one of the largest groups of medical statisticians in medical sciences and a growing team of health economists. Clinicians in our department teach a number of threads in the undergraduate course in Medicine and we place students in GP practices as part of their training. We run a very successful, well established MSc programme in Evidence Based Health Care, and a new MSc in Translational Health Science with the Department of Continuing Education. In 2023 we will accept students to a new MSc in Applied Digital Health and to an MSc in Global Health Care Leadership run in partnership with the Said Business School.

Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences A top ranked centre for academic primary care in the UK, we lead world-class research and training to rethink the way healthcare is delivered in general practice and other primary care settings, both across the UK and globally. Integrating evidence and innovation, our main research focus is on enhancing prevention, early diagnosis and management of common illness. Our research is led by internationally renowned scientists, many of whom are practising GPs and primary care clinicians, but many others are psychologists, epidemiologists, sociologists, and public health academics. We cover the broad range of issues that you might expect to address in the community, including cardiovascular and metabolic disease, infectious diseases and childhood illness, diet, smoking and cancer. We also focus on understanding and improving the experiences of patients, rigorously evaluating the effectiveness of treatments and diagnostics, utilising big data, developing digital health interventions and working internationally. We have methodological expertise in novel clinical trial design and implementation, clinical decision making and diagnostics, clinical epidemiology, medical statistics, behavioural science, modelling, qualitative research and the wider application of social science theory and methods to address practical and theoretical challenges in health and care settings. The department was established in October 1998 (as the Department of Primary Health Care) with the appointment of a foundation chair in general practice, and was made a free-standing department in 2011 with the first Oxford statutory chair in primary care. We provide a strong multi-disciplinary training environment, a full programme of academic support and good IT facilities. Our ability to collaborate with other epidemiological and community based research groups across the University and with GP surgeries locally and nationally enables us to utilise a broad range of relevant expertise into our teaching and research. Our main research themes coalesce around cardiovascular disease and diabetes, infection, cancer, health behaviours, and digital health, with several cross-cutting themes, including disease prevention, early 5 diagnosis, and patient self-management, big data and new clinical themes. We place inclusivity and diversity at the forefront of our approach to research from design and conduct through to the dissemination of our findings. The department has exceptional infrastructure, including the long-established Primary Care Clinical Trials Unit, one of the most expert CTU’s for trials conducted in community settings. We also host the Oxford Institute for Digital Health, the Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science, the Oxford Centre for EvidenceBased Medicine; the Interdisciplinary Research in Health Sciences research group (which uses both quantitative and qualitative methods to examine the human, organisational and societal issues relating to the delivery of healthcare and the improvement of health services) and the Medical Sociology and Health Experiences Research Group (MS HERG), which is a centre of excellence in qualitative research methods and conducts studies of experiences of health and illness, digital health and organisation and delivery of care. The department is a founding member of the National Institute for Health Care Research (NIHR) School of Primary Care Research, houses both the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration (ARC), Oxford Thames Valley and the NIHR MedTech and In Vitro Diagnostics Co-operative (MIC), and leads several themes of the Oxford University Hospital and Oxford Health BRCs. In terms of methodologies, as well as our critical mass of social scientists and computer/information scientists, the department supports one of the largest groups of medical statisticians in medical sciences and a growing team of health economists. Clinicians in our department teach a number of threads in the undergraduate course in Medicine and we place students in GP practices as part of their training. We run a very successful, well established MSc programme in Evidence Based Health Care, and a new MSc in Translational Health Science with the Department of Continuing Education. In 2023 we will accept students to a new MSc in Applied Digital Health and to an MSc in Global Health Care Leadership run in partnership with the Said Business School.

Additional information The role should be sponsorable under the Skilled Worker visa route, but advice on visas will be provided when/if chosen for the role. The role The University of Oxford has received substantial funding from the Medical Research Council (MRC) to establish a national Centre of Research Excellence (MRC CoRE) in Restorative Neural Dynamics. Starting in November 2025, this flagship research and innovation enterprise is focused on harnessing the moment-to-moment interactions between nerve cells (‘neural dynamics’) to transform medical device-based therapy for brain disorders. We require an experienced Head of Operations who can work collaboratively with researchers and a range of other stakeholders to oversee and manage the complexity of this MRC CoRE. You will join the MRC CoRE leadership and play key roles in delivering the challenge-led mission. The MRC CoRE in Restorative Neural Dynamics (‘the Centre’) will capitalise on research breakthroughs and emerging technologies to revolutionise the treatment of brain disorders, with an initial focus on Parkinson’s, dementia, stroke and childhood epilepsy. The Centre will be positioned as an enduring national asset, catalysing a step-change in the use of advanced device-based approaches to improve patient quality of life. The Centre will also lead, embed and distribute innovations promoting a positive research culture. This ambitious endeavour includes a team of outstanding researchers drawn from the University of Oxford, Cardiff University, Great Ormond Street Hospital, Imperial College London, and Newcastle University; its ‘hub’ will be hosted by the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences at the University of Oxford. The Centre also includes partners and collaborators in neurotechnology industry, research charities, patient/public advisory groups, clinical services, and national/international academia. The Head of Operations will provide the support needed to the MRC CoRE Director (Professor Peter Magill) and the Centre’s other leaders to successfully deliver this exciting large-scale venture. This is a diverse and evolving role requiring excellent skills in leadership, management, operational oversight, and strategic thinking. You will have overall operational responsibility for the administration of this multisite Centre, working collaboratively with its Director, leadership groups, wider membership, host academic institutions, and other key stakeholders. Flexible working The Head of Operations will be based at the NDCN’s Brain Network Dynamics Unit site on Mansfield Road, Oxford. However, hybrid working and additional flexibility in the pattern of the postholder’s work may be possible in agreement with the MRC CoRE Director. This is a full-time position. However, we would consider a part-time appointment (minimum 80% full-time equivalent) with a commensurate adjustment in responsibilities and duties. Responsibilities The Head of Operations will work at a high level and have responsibility for co-developing the short- and longer-term goals of the Centre, alongside managing its resources, performance, development, and finances. You will provide detailed operational knowledge and play a significant role in Centre decision making and strategic planning in close collaboration with the Director and the Centre’s wider leadership. You will help lead the Centre in complex and sensitive matters, approaching problems from different perspectives to devise optimal solutions. You will make leading contributions to networks across researchers, technologists, and professional services staff. Working with the Centre’s other leaders, you will share responsibility for the strategic alignment of the Centre with the complementary interests and ambitions of the University of Oxford, collaborating academic institutions, Centre partners in industry and other sectors, and the MRC. You will act as a key enabler of research culture innovation and change across the Centre, championing best practices and ultimately establishing these as ‘business as usual’. The Head of Operations will have overall management of the Centre’s Operational Support Team (OST), initially comprising a Research Support Manager (remit includes management of data and I.T./capital infrastructure), a Project Manager (remit includes monitoring of finances), a Research Culture Facilitator, a Stakeholder Engagement Facilitator (remit includes communications support), and a Regulatory Science Officer (remit includes support for translation of research). You will lead on the recruitment of OST staff as appropriate. You will play a key role in ensuring the training and career development needs of OST staff are met. Responsibilities of the OST = include the day-to-day running of the Centre, including financial and resource management, communications and promotion of the Centre, engaging with diverse stakeholders, identifying potential new partners/collaborations, sourcing additional funding as the Centre develops, and driving research culture innovation and change. You will therefore use your excellent strategic, operational, and management skills to help deliver against the Centre’s objectives, alongside your ability to work with varied stakeholders (e.g. academic, clinical, industry, the public, and the third sector), build consensus, and help develop future directions. You will be a trusted source of expert opinion, advice and analyses in areas important to the Centre. You will use tact and discretion where necessary to achieve desired outcomes. Given the ambition and originality of the challenge-led mission of the Centre, you will be working in areas where there is a lack of precedent, requiring use of foresight and innovative thinking to develop appropriate and workable solutions in collaboration with host academic institutions, and particularly at the University of Oxford, with NDCN’s Head of Administration and Finance. You will effectively draw on the support provided by the host academic institutions’ professional services teams to fulfil your responsibilities. Responsibilities in more detail 1.

The post holder will provide guidance to less experienced members of the research group, including research assistants, technicians, and PhD and project students. The postholder will develop an analytical framework to achieve the grant objectives. Specifically, the postholder will write and publish scientific papers on the relationship between whale migratory behaviour and whale ecology using ecological niche modelling. The postholder will model ecological niches of feeding and breeding grounds in extant whale migratory species, for which occurrence data are widely available. The postholder will then establish the degree of geographic separation between these two ecological niches for each species, to gain an understanding of the environmental drivers of migration. Armed with this information, the postholder will use cutting-edge paleoclimatic modelling that incorporates nutrient cycling and carbon chemistry (HadOCC) to infer the distribution of potential feeding and breeding grounds for whales in the past. This hindcasting will allow for estimates of when the environmental conditions prerequisite for migration first arose, and assessment of the role of major climatic events (e.g., Cenozoic cooling) in driving this behaviour. Using phylogenetic comparative methods and the niche modelling results, the postholder will examine the evolutionary history of ecological niches broadly across the clade, and reconstruct geographic distributions of key nodes and fossil taxa.

Learn more at kavlifoundation.org The Institute of Developmental and Regenerative Medicine (IDRM) The IDRM is a unique flagship institution, at the University of Oxford, dedicated to meeting an ambitious challenge: two thirds of all deaths world-wide are due to non-communicable diseases, many of which are cardiovascular, neurological or immune system disorders that have a developmental origin, representing an urgent unmet clinical need. The mission of the IDRM is the development of new drugs and therapeutic strategies to tackle these chronic illnesses. At its core is a formal merger of developmental biology and regenerative medicine in the form of 15-20 world leading research groups comprising 240 cardiovascular, neuroscience and immunology scientists integrating their expertise to foster multidisciplinary collaborations. The IDRM has four key goals:     To further our understanding of the cellular and molecular processes that control normal development of the heart, brain and immune system To determine what causes congenital disease and increased susceptibility for disease acquired in adulthood To identify therapeutic targets to reactivate resident cells for repair of the injured adult heart, brain and immune system To establish new treatment strategies designed to replace and restore damaged tissues arising from birth defects or acquired adult disease. To achieve these goals the IDRM will combine experimental and computational biology with machine learning, artificial intelligence platforms and mathematical modelling; working across disciplines with University colleagues in Big Data, Target Discovery, Maths and Biomedical Engineering and with clinicians at the John Radcliffe and Churchill Hospitals in Oxford. The IDRM is housed in the IMS-Tetsuya Nakamura Building in the Old Road campus site. To find out more visit: https://www.idrm.ox.ac.uk/ Research support facilities The Department has shared state-of-the-art facilities for a wide range of applications, such as a histology service, DNA/RNA services (rapid and supportive access to microRNA,RNASeq, CHIPSeq, etc.), confocal and other high resolution imaging equipment as well as a Transmission Electron Microscope. Proteomics facilities include MALDI-TOF/TOF and Ion Trap LCMS/MS systems, and there are extensive magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and imaging (MRI) facilities for in vivo rodent and clinical investigations, including hyperpolarised technologies. The Department also provides central support in photography, digital imaging, and poster printing as well as a high-quality mechanical workshop. A dedicated research support team helps with grant 7 applications and awards, and data storage and computation facilities. The department is supported by a dedicated IT team. Teaching The main teaching responsibility of the Department is for pre-clinical Medicine students and those reading Biomedical Sciences. There are also contributions to teaching in Biochemistry, Biological Sciences, Human Sciences, Physics, and a graduate Neuroscience MSc programme. In Oxford, Medicine students take a three-year preclinical course before proceeding to clinical training (a further three years). The first five terms of the three-year pre-clinical course provide broad training in all aspects of medical science (leading to the 1st BM qualification). Both pre-clinical Medicine and Biomedical Sciences students spend the last four terms of their course studying for a BA degree, selecting two Advanced Options from a choice of ten, ranging from systems physiology and neuroscience to cellular and molecular science. Both cohorts also undertake an experimental project, which forms one paper in their final examination; these projects are supervised by members of the academic staff. The Department also contributes some preclinical teaching to the first part of the Graduate entry Medicine course.

About the Conference of Colleges

Oxford’s 39 colleges and four permanent private halls (PPH) are both an integral part of the collegiate University and also independent, self-governing academic communities. Diverse in age, size and scope, all contribute significantly to the core activities of the University: learning and teaching; research; and wider engagement with society.

 

Conference of Colleges has two main functions. It enables the colleges, as self-governing and financially independent institutions, to act collectively on issues that matter to them. This may range from sharing information and good practice to acting together to procure expert advice or services.

 

The Conference also acts as a voice for college interests within the University community.  It enables Colleges to debate and act upon the key issues of the day and to develop shared views and policies. This enables a collective college perspective to be communicated widely and to influence University decision-making.

 

About the Role

We are looking for two Policy Officers to join our team to support the Conference Secretariat’s workload and nature of the tasks it undertakes, particularly in response to legal and regulatory changes.

•         Servicing committees and working groups

•         Supporting project work

•         Undertaking research and analysis

•         Engaging with stakeholders across Oxford colleges, the University, and external partners

•         General administrative systems and supporting continuous improvement

This is a varied and rewarding role, offering exceptional exposure to university-wide decision-making processes and the chance to develop expertise in new policy areas.

 

What We Offer

We offer several benefits, including:

•         38 days’ annual leave (pro rata), inclusive of public holidays

•         Membership of the USS pension scheme

•         The Conference Secretariat team operates a hybrid working policy (core office days are Tuesday and Thursday and team members are required to be in-person for committee meetings and some other key meetings).

 

About You (See full essential criteria in the job description)

We’re looking for people who have:

 

•         Experience in administrative work, highly organised

•         Strong written and verbal communication skills

•         The ability to learn and develop new knowledge rapidly

"""We are seeking to appoint a Postdoctoral Research Scientist in Molecular Biology to work on synthetic genome DNA assembly in the University of Oxford. This is an exciting opportunity arising from a major new grant of £6.7 million from the Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA) – a UK government funding agency. You will work with Professor Chris O'Callaghan and Dr Nathali Flores-Fernandez on further development and application of our DNA assembly technology to create synthetic organelle genomes. This synthetic biology project aims to move rapidly to translation with real-world testing of synthetic chloroplast genomes in relevant crop plants including potato ( _Solanum tuberosum_ ) and wheat ( _Triticum aestivum_ ) with Professors Steve Kelly and Francesco Licausi. Synthetic genomes will incorporate multiple variants that have arisen independently in nature and have potential to improve desirable properties, such as resistance to disease and environmental/ climate stress. This is a great opportunity to develop skills in state-of-the- art techniques while working on a project with major potential for high impact. Your primary role will be to assist in planning and to carry out experiments and analyse the results within Professor Chris O’Callaghan’s laboratory (https://www.chg.ox.ac.uk/research/research-groups/ocallaghan-group-1). This will involve molecular biology and biochemistry to undertake DNA assembly including generating constructs and testing new approaches. This is a translational project to further develop and apply technology that we have invented to assemble large DNA molecules of any sequence with ease. Using this technology, it is possible to rapidly and simply assemble DNA molecules up to hundreds of thousands of base-pairs in length. We have progressively improved and simplified this technology which uses recombinant DNA methylases as published in PubMed link and PubMed link. There may also be some expression and purification of recombinant enzymes such as methylases. There is also scope for some bioinformatic/ computational analysis but this is primarily a laboratory-based post. The laboratory is well equipped for this work and for testing the function of assembled DNA molecules. The project will enjoy a high level of funding and if successful there is potential for a further 3-year phase of funding to be awarded. The project collaborators include Professor Francesco Licausi and Professor Steve Kelly. You will be responsible for managing your own academic research and administrative activities, adapting existing and developing new scientific techniques and experimental protocols. It is essential that you hold a PhD/DPhil (or be close to completion) in a relevant discipline such as molecular/synthetic biology, biochemistry, biophysics, biological chemistry, biotechnology or enzymology (or related subject). You will also have proven experience and confidence in any of these disciplines. You will have excellent organisational skills including data management and record keeping, and have excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to write for publications, present research proposals and results, and represent the research group at meetings.

Please read the candidate notes on the University’s pre-employment https://www.jobs.ox.ac.uk/pre-employment-checks screening procedures at: About the Astrophoria Foundation Year Programme The Astrophoria Foundation Year (AFY) Programme admitted its first students for entry in October 2023, with 22 students on the course in the first year, rising to 50 by 2027. It is a one-year fully-funded foundation programme for UK state school students with significant academic potential, who have experienced severe personal disadvantage and/or disrupted education which has resulted in them being unable to apply directly for an Oxford undergraduate degree programme. Unlike foundation years at some other universities, the AFY Programme is not intended to be a conversion-course equivalent to redoing A-levels, instead the AFY Programme admits bright students whose academic studies have been disrupted by extensive disadvantage but who have potential and are considered able to be able to flourish on an undergraduate course at Oxford given an additional year of teaching. The AFY Programme enables motivated students to reach their academic potential at Oxford through a supportive and challenging academic course aimed at developing each individual student’s confidence, self-belief and personal achievement. Foundation Year students apply through UCAS for their undergraduate degree course with a foundation year (e.g Chemistry with Foundation Year). They are selected through a subject specific rigorous admission process similar to the UG admissions process and have been made offers of AAB at A level (or equivalent Level 3 qualification). The subject content of the CEMS course is based on A level material within physics, chemistry and maths, giving students an opportunity to revisit material in a different teaching context. For science this process involves moving them from the heavily structured questions and answers in A-level or equivalent to using their knowledge in unfamiliar-looking problems, significantly enhancing both problem-solving skills and explanatory skills. After such a year they can enter the degree for which they have applied much better prepared to succeed as undergraduates in the Oxford system without the usual settling-in period. It is a steep learning curve: by the end of May 2024 the 2023-24 CEMS cohort were able to tackle 1st term undergraduate tutorial problems. Foundation Year students who pass the Foundation Year at the required standard of 60% over the whole CEMS course will be admitted to their degree course of application without the need to re-apply. Candidates who choose to study elsewhere or do not meet the progression standard but none the less pass the course will be awarded a CertHE qualification. The AFY Programme comprises subject specific teaching and the Preparation for Undergraduate Studies (PUGS) Course. The PUGS course offers students an opportunity to develop the skills required to be a successful undergraduate student and meet many of the selection criteria required by the courses to which we hope AFY students will progress. As such, PUGS is the core foundational and underpinning element of the AFY Programme overall – supporting the AFY cohort to develop the essential skills that they need to deploy in the study of their respective subject areas. This fundamental nature leads to PUGS representing about 30% of the individual contact time that AFY students will receive. April 2025 4 The purpose of students taking the AFY Programme rather than remedial A-level (or equivalent) teaching is the university teaching context which encourages them to think for themselves, learning to compare and assess sources as well as understanding topics deeply, rather than merely regurgitating content. The AFY Programme gives them the enhanced study experience similar to that offered at a very successful school and in the process boosts their confidence in using factual knowledge, but does not deliver large amounts of new material.

The Institute is an integral part of the Department of Politics and International Relations. The Institute incorporates the Journalist Fellowship Programme which began in 1983 and is affiliated with Green Templeton College. The Institute is located in Green Templeton College premises in Norham Gardens and is supported by its own administrative staff. The Institute has a Steering Committee, which includes representatives outside the University from the VACANCY ID 180140 – Director of Journalist Programmes 6 world of journalism. It is accountable to the General Purposes Committee and to the Head of the Department of Politics and International Relations. The Institute is committed to the rigorous, international, comparative study of journalism. It pursues this through: • Research Programmes, which provide timely, accessible, and evidence-based independent analysis of issues facing journalism and news media around the world, and include a series of RISJ publications, as well as more specialised academic articles and book-length treatments of important topics. • The Journalist Fellowship Programme, which brings high calibre mid-career practising journalists to Oxford and offers them a period of reflection and an opportunity to carry out a piece of relevant in-depth research, away from the pressure of tight deadlines. • Leadership Programmes, which gather editors, executives, and journalists in leadership roles in small, intimate, off-the-record settings to engage with each other, exchange best practices and lessons learned, and benefit from current research relevant to the challenges they face. • Research: The Institute is expanding its research activity and its research strategy is currently organised around three broad areas of focus: • Relationships between Journalism and Democracy and Accountability – including journalism’s role in holding power to account; issues around international news providers and the trust placed in them; the role of the media in societies undergoing radical political transformation; identifying the most important elements of journalism for the functioning of a democratic society; and examining the impact of different political systems on the ability of journalism to perform its role. • The Business of Journalism – involving comparative assessment of the financial pressures on journalism in a range of countries, the responses to those pressures, and the implications of each for the long term future of quality journalism and its democratic functions. This area also includes work on regulatory frameworks for and different forms of intervention in journalism and media markets. • The Evolving Practice of Journalism – including issues such as journalism as a profession and what that means in different countries; the impact of the rise of citizen journalism; blogging and social media; the particular issues posed by specific forms of journalism, e.g. business journalism; journalism and PR; and science and environmental reporting, where journalists often have to act as translators between specialists and a wider public. The news media have, within the last decade or so, been disrupted by huge and fast-moving changes in the economic and technological models that had been in place for generations or more. The growth of social media, new players and new platforms has changed journalism forever as well as creating an existential threat to forms of news. The ability of billions of people to publish has created a vast amount of unreliable - and fake - news which now VACANCY ID 180140 – Director of Journalist Programmes 7 competes with more established forms of journalism. The RISJ must have a powerful voice in the debates around where journalism is going and how it is practised. In addition to chronicling these dramatic changes, RISJ should help illuminate the road ahead by communicating directly with communities of journalists who are at the sharp end of the digital revolution.

Their true potential lies in generalizing across diverse domains and modalities, a largely untapped frontier. The project "Diversis Viis, Plurima Solvens" (DVPS), funded by the European Commission, advances this frontier by focusing on multimodal foundation models (MMFM), aiming to harness their capabilities across various application domains. DVPS emphasizes three core benefits of MMFM: label efficiency, compute reusability, and engineering efficiency. However, achieving these benefits in multimodal settings presents challenges such as modality-specific architecture and cross-modal alignment. To overcome these, DVPS aims to develop generalizable methods that work across diverse modalities and domains, creating a unified framework for MMFM development and integrating new modalities into existing FM. The project focuses on generating foundational knowledge, delivering tested methods, and creating algorithms to expand MMFM capabilities across domains like cardiology, geo-intelligence, and language communication. The postholder will help lead a project work package focusing on alignment of MMFM with ethical, legal, and social values. Specifically, the postholder will lead work to (1) develop bias and fairness methods for domain-specific MMFM to identify and mitigate model and data biases; (2) build and evaluate XAI tools for external auditing and red-teaming; (3) generate predictive explanations without accessing model internal; (4) providing insight into model reasoning processes to enhance transparency and accountability; (5) assess privacy risks of watermarking; and (6) conduct privacy preservation assessments, including training data extraction and membership inference attacks, to mitigate privacy leaks in MMFM.

The Oxford Internet Institute (OII) The Oxford Internet Institute – founded in 2001 - is a multidisciplinary research and teaching department of the University of Oxford, dedicated to the social science of the Internet. Digital connections are now embedded in almost every aspect of our daily lives, and research on individual and collective behaviour online is crucial to understanding our social, economic, and political world. o o o Research: We have unprecedented access to a huge volume of rich social data, and are developing new theories, concepts and methods to analyse it. Teaching: Our Masters and doctoral programmes bring students from all over the world, to work with our faculty at the cutting edge of their fields. Policy: We provide the empirical data and conceptual analysis that is so needed to design policy solutions to societal problems. Our academic faculty and graduate students are drawn from many different disciplines: we believe this combined approach is essential to tackle society’s ‘big questions’. Together, we aim to positively shape the development of our digital world for the public good. The OII aims to operate at the cutting edge in both quantitative, qualitative and computational methodologies that cut across disciplines and topics. The core of our activity is to develop rigorous peerreviewed research and disseminate the outputs in high-quality journals, while working together with partners and stakeholders to inform and shape policy and practice. 4 Our research focuses on areas critical to the public interest and in many cases to advancing fairness in technology. Our research has already delivered significant impact. Our faculty were among the first to draw the world’s attention to “fake news” and defined the concept of “big data”. They have undertaken ground-breaking research into technology and wellbeing using real-time industry data and persuaded major global firms to adopt new methods and practices. OII researchers have developed the first global ratings system for firms operating in the gig economy and had a significant role in influencing the online harms debate in the UK. Our four teaching programmes graduate around 80 students a year across our two Masters programmes in addition to around seven doctoral students. Many of our talented alumni go on to perform important roles and achieve significant accomplishments in the world of policymaking, technology development, civil society and academia. In 2025, the OII will take up residence in the new Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities, moving from our current location across three sites on St Giles. For more information about the Oxford Internet Institute please visit https://www.oii.ox.ac.uk/. 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 Ethox Centre is an internationally recognised multidisciplinary bioethics research centre at the University of Oxford. It is located within the Nuffield Department of Population Health. Ethox is a friendly, vibrant and intellectually stimulating place to work

 

We are seeking a Researcher in Bioethics to work closely with Professor Michael Parker and Professor Patricia Kingori on a project called ‘What Should We Talk About?’ This Project is an activity of the ANTITHESES Platform for Transformative Inclusivity in Ethics and Humanities. ANTITHESES addresses an urgent need for research that can engage meaningfully with the radical moral disagreements and informational uncertainty characteristic of contemporary medical science, practice, and policy.

 

Against a background of increasing polarisation, contestation, and radical moral disagreement, the question of what should be talked about can be highly charged. The role will include undertaking reviews and analyses of relevant ethics, social science, and political philosophy literature, drafting papers, developing and coordinating a seminar series, and overseeing the development of a journal special issue, and of a podcast on this cluster of topics.

 

You will hold, or be close to completion of, a relevant PhD/DPhil, have relevant experience in the integration of social science methods and ethical analysis and possess sufficient specialist knowledge of ethics to work within established research programmes.

 

This is a full time (part time considered), fixed term for 2 years.

 

The closing date for applications is noon on 14 July 2025.

 

You will be required to upload a CV and a cover letter as part of your online application. The cover letter should clearly describe how you meet each of the selection criteria listed in the job description.

We are seeking a motivated and Talented experimentalist for a full-time Research Assistant in Quantum Thermodynamics within Professor Ares’ research group at the Department of Engineering Science (Central Oxford). The post is externally funded and is fixed-term to the 30th September 2026.

 

The integration of electronic and mechanical degrees of freedom in quantum devices, particularly using carbon nanotubes, enables the exploration of thermodynamic processes at the nanoscale. Carbon nanotubes serve as exceptional nanomechanical resonators due to their low mass, high stiffness, and quality factor, allowing efficient transduction of mechanical vibrations into electrical signals at millikelvin temperatures. These devices support coupling between electronic, spin, and mechanical states. The proposed research will focus on leveraging this interplay to monitor thermodynamic quantities such as work and heat, aiming for direct measurements of work exchange in non-equilibrium quantum systems. The appointed researcher will fabricate and characterize devices, perform low-temperature experiments using radio-frequency readout circuits, and collaborate with theorists to develop novel experiments for studying quantum thermodynamics.

 

You should possess a relevant PhD/DPhil (or be near completion). Experimental expertise in electrical characterisation of quantum devices at cryogenic temperatures is essential. As is excellent communication skills, including the ability to write for publication, present research proposals and results, and represent the research group at meetings is essential.

"""We are seeking to appoint a Research Assistant in Molecular Biology who will be a member of a research group and will support and carry out research on DNA assembly of synthetic genomes. This is an exciting opportunity with huge potential. Your primary role will be to assist in planning and carrying out experiments and analysing the results within Professor Chris O’Callaghan’s laboratory (https://www.chg.ox.ac.uk/research/research-groups/ocallaghan-group-1) with Dr Nathali Flores-Fernandez. This will involve molecular biology and biochemistry to undertake DNA assembly including generating constructs and testing new approaches. There may also be some expression and purification of recombinant enzymes such as methylases. There may be scope for some bioinformatic/computational analysis, but this is primarily a laboratory-based post. The laboratory is well-equipped for this work and for testing the function of assembled DNA molecules. The project will enjoy a high level of funding and if successful there is potential for a further 3-year phase of funding to be awarded. The project collaborators include Professor Francesco Licausi and Professor Steve Kelly. This is an exciting training position offering a well-supported position in a well-funded laboratory to work on an important new project as part of a wider collaborative team. This role has arisen from the award of a major new grant of around £6.7 million from the Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA) – a UK government funding agency. This grant is shared between three groups and covers a 3-year period. This is translational funding to further develop technology that we have invented to assemble large DNA molecules of any sequence with ease. Using this technology, it is possible to rapidly and simply assemble DNA molecules up to hundreds of thousands of base-pairs in length. We have progressively improved and simplified this technology which uses recombinant DNA methylases as published in PubMed link and PubMed link. The current project will refine the technology and streamline it for widespread use. Our initial aim is to use this technology to generate synthetic organelle genomes, but it has many other potential applications. With our collaborators we aim to generate synthetic chloroplast genomes and test these in relevant crop plants including potato ( _Solanum tuberosum_ ) and wheat ( _Triticum aestivum_ ). With a degree in molecular biology, biochemistry, biotechnology, biological chemistry, synthetic biology or related subject, you will be responsible for managing your own academic research and administrative activities within guidelines provided by senior colleagues, contributing to the wider project planning, including ideas for new projects. You will have good organisational and laboratory skills and be good at record keeping with good written and verbal communication skills. It is essential that you currently have relevant experience in molecular biology, biochemistry, biotechnology, biological chemistry, synthetic biology (or related subject) and possess sufficient specialist knowledge and experience in the discipline to work within the proposed research programme. You will also have experience in laboratory work, following and adapting protocols, and selecting appropriate experimental methodologies with good laboratory skills, planning and organisation for the development of experimental work. Applications for this vacancy should be made online and you will need to upload a supporting statement and CV. Your supporting statement must explain how you meet each of the selection criteria for the post using examples of your skills and experience. Please restrict your documentation to your CV and supporting statement only. Any other documents will be requested at a later date. This position is offered full time on a fixed term contract until 28 May 2028 and is funded by the Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA). Only applications received before 12 midday on 4 August 2025 will be considered. Please quote **180419** on all correspondence.

Nucleic Acids Res, 46 (19), pp. e113 PubMed link The role This role has arisen from the award of a major new grant of around £6.7 million from the Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA) – a UK government funding agency. This grant is shared between three groups and covers a 3-year period. This is translational funding to further develop technology that we have invented to assemble large DNA molecules of any sequence with ease. Using this technology, it is possible to rapidly and simply assemble DNA molecules up to hundreds of thousands of base-pairs in length. We have progressively improved and simplified this technology which uses recombinant DNA methylases as published in PubMed link and PubMed link. The current project will refine the technology and streamline it for widespread use. Our initial aim is to use this technology to generate synthetic organelle genomes, but it has many other potential applications. With our collaborators we aim to generate synthetic chloroplast genomes and test these in relevant crop plants including potato (Solanum tuberosum) and wheat (Triticum aestivum). The synthetic chloroplast genomes will include multiple naturally occurring variants which will convey desirable properties on crop plants such as increased yield, disease resistance and resilience to climate change. There is huge potential for this work to lead to further major scientific publications, to new patentable intellectual property and to commercialisation of the technology and plants. You will undertake cutting-edge work to develop this technology to a form that is suitable for translation for widespread use. This is an exciting opportunity with huge potential. Your primary role will be to assist in planning and to carry out experiments and analyse the results within Professor Chris O’Callaghan’s laboratory (https://www.chg.ox.ac.uk/research/research-groups/ocallaghan-group-1). This will involve molecular biology and biochemistry to undertake DNA assembly including generating constructs and testing new approaches. There may also be some expression and purification of recombinant enzymes such as methylases. There is also scope for some bioinformatic/ computational analysis, but this is primarily a laboratory-based post. The laboratory is well-equipped for this work and for testing the function of assembled DNA molecules. The project will enjoy a high level of funding and if successful there is 1 potential for a further 3-year phase of funding to be awarded. The project collaborators include Professor Francesco Licausi and Professor Steve Kelly. This is an exciting training position offering a well-supported position in a well-funded laboratory to work on an important new project as part of a wider collaborative team. Reporting to Professor Chris O'Callaghan, you will be a member of a member of a research group with responsibility for carrying out research on DNA assembly of synthetic genomes. You will provide advice and guidance to less experienced members of the research group, including postdocs, research assistants, technicians, and PhD/DPhil and project students. Responsibilities You will: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Manage your own academic research and administrative activities.

The Oxford School of Global and Area Studies The School 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, multidisciplinary 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. Further information about the Department can be found at https://www.area-studies.ox.ac.uk/ 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 non-governmental 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.

This role will support the development of the Comprehensive Oxford Maths and Physics Online School (COMPOS) as we expand to accommodate 1000 students annually on this long-term, large-scale outreach programme. Currently the programme is funded by philanthropic donations. To fully reach every deserving student in the UK, a more diverse funding model is required. Development work on a strategic business plan and 3-5 year funding model has been done this year and now we wish to recruit someone with the business and fundraising skills to bring this to fruition. COMPOS is growing and we wish to spread the word of the programme highlighting our impact and activities. The chosen candidate will also take charge of promotional and marketing activities for the programme from social media to raising awareness in traditional media outlets. Promotions will support development of fundraising strategies and relationship management to reach both those who would benefit from the programme and those who can provide funding to deliver it. Our mission is to help STEM-talented school students to learn mathematics and physics deeply and systematically through free online tuition and mentoring. In other areas, such as sports or the arts, it is well-established that keen and talented young people need additional training to excel in their chosen field.

COMPOS provides the same out of school enrichment to young people with a strong interest in physics and maths. The programme has grown from a pilot of about 100 students in 2021 to ten times that many in the upcoming academic year. Evaluation of the pilot programme shows COMPOS graduates achieve 170% better A Level results than similar students matched by prior attainment. We are particularly keen to support student in schools without specialist physics or maths teachers or those who come from backgrounds historically underrepresented in STEM. In this role, you will create diverse fundraising plans that encompass individual giving, major donor cultivation, corporate partnerships, grants, and legacy giving and build relationships with existing and potential donors to encourage ongoing support and increased giving. You will plan, execute, and evaluate fundraising campaigns across various channels, setting targets, and monitoring progress. You will also have the opportunity to prepare compelling applications to secure funding from trusts, foundations, and government bodies. You will work closely with finance teams to monitor income, expenditure, and financial performance related to COMPOS activities. In this role you will develop and implement comprehensive marketing plans to raise awareness of COMPOS’ mission, impact, and fundraising needs and ensure consistent and positive representation of COMPOS across all communications and activities. You will manage COMPOS’ online presence, including website content, social media strategy, email marketing campaigns, and potentially SEO/SEM efforts. You will also be expected to build relationships with schools, academy trusts and UK university Access and Outreach staff. The successful applicant would need to be educated to degree level or equivalent and have experience of fundraising, marketing and business management within the third sector or higher education. You must have excellent interpersonal and communication skills. Strong numeracy skills and administration experience are also essential.

Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences A top ranked centre for academic primary care in the UK, we lead world-class research and training to rethink the way healthcare is delivered in general practice and other primary care settings, both across the UK and globally. Integrating evidence and innovation, our main research focus is on enhancing prevention, early diagnosis and management of common illness. Our research is led by internationally renowned scientists, many of whom are practising GPs and primary care clinicians, but many others are psychologists, epidemiologists, sociologists, and public health academics. We cover the broad range of issues that you might expect to address in the community, including cardiovascular and metabolic disease, infectious diseases and childhood illness, diet, smoking and cancer. We also focus on understanding and improving the experiences of patients, rigorously evaluating the effectiveness of treatments and diagnostics, utilising big data, developing digital health interventions and working internationally. We have methodological expertise in novel clinical trial design and implementation, clinical decision making and diagnostics, clinical epidemiology, medical statistics, behavioural science, modelling, qualitative research and the wider application of social science theory and methods to address practical and theoretical challenges in health and care settings. The department was established in October 1998 (as the Department of Primary Health Care) with the appointment of a foundation chair in general practice, and was made a free-standing department in 2011 with the first Oxford statutory chair in primary care. We provide a strong multi-disciplinary training environment, a full programme of academic support and good IT facilities. Our ability to collaborate with other epidemiological and community based research groups across the University and with GP surgeries locally and nationally enables us to utilise a broad range of relevant expertise into our teaching and research. 4 Our main research themes coalesce around cardiovascular disease and diabetes, infection, cancer, health behaviours, and digital health, with several cross-cutting themes, including disease prevention, early diagnosis, and patient self-management, big data and new clinical themes. We place inclusivity and diversity at the forefront of our approach to research from design and conduct through to the dissemination of our findings. The department has exceptional infrastructure, including the long-established Primary Care Clinical Trials Unit, one of the most expert CTU’s for trials conducted in community settings. We also host the Oxford Institute for Digital Health, the Bennett Institute for Applied Data Science, the Oxford Centre for EvidenceBased Medicine; the Interdisciplinary Research in Health Sciences research group (which uses both quantitative and qualitative methods to examine the human, organisational and societal issues relating to the delivery of healthcare and the improvement of health services) and the Medical Sociology and Health Experiences Research Group (MS HERG), which undertakes qualitative research into the patient experience including the Healthtalk research programme published on www.healthtalkonline.org. The department is a founding member of the National Institute for Health Care Research (NIHR) School of Primary Care Research, houses both the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration (ARC), Oxford Thames Valley and the NIHR MedTech and In Vitro Diagnostics Co-operative (MIC), and leads several themes of the Oxford University Hospital and Oxford Health BRCs. In terms of methodologies, as well as our critical mass of social scientists and computer/information scientists, the department supports one of the largest groups of medical statisticians in medical sciences and a growing team of health economists. Clinicians in our department teach a number of threads in the undergraduate course in Medicine and we place students in GP practices as part of their training. We run a very successful, well established MSc programme in Evidence Based Health Care, and a new MSc in Translational Health Science with the Department of Continuing Education. In 2023 we will accept students to a new MSc in Applied Digital Health and to an MSc in Global Health Care Leadership run in partnership with the Said Business School.

The Department of Physics is looking to recruit a Business and Fundraising Coordinator to work on the COMPOS Outreach programme. This post is fixed term for 3 years, with the possibility of extension to 5 years, and is a remote/home working position.

 

This role will support the development of the Comprehensive Oxford Maths and Physics Online School (COMPOS) as we expand to accommodate 1000 students annually on this long-term, large-scale outreach programme.

 

Currently the programme is funded by philanthropic donations. To fully reach every deserving student in the UK, a more diverse funding model is required. Development work on a strategic business plan and 3-5 year funding model has been done this year and now we wish to recruit someone with the business and fundraising skills to bring this to fruition. COMPOS is growing and we wish to spread the word of the programme highlighting our impact and activities. The chosen candidate will also take charge of promotional and marketing activities for the programme from social media to raising awareness in traditional media outlets. Promotions will support development of fundraising strategies and relationship management to reach both those who would benefit from the programme and those who can provide funding to deliver it. 

 

Our mission is to help STEM-talented school students to learn mathematics and physics deeply and systematically through free online tuition and mentoring. In other areas, such as sports or the arts, it is well-established that keen and talented young people need additional training to excel in their chosen field. Musicians can join youth orchestras and choirs, gymnasts can join clubs and compete in tournaments, footballers can join youth academies. COMPOS provides the same out of school enrichment to young people with a strong interest in physics and maths. The programme has grown from a pilot of about 100 students in 2021 to ten times that many in the upcoming academic year. Evaluation of the pilot programme shows COMPOS graduates achieve 170% better A Level results than similar students matched by prior attainment. We are particularly keen to support student in schools without specialist physics or maths teachers or those who come from backgrounds historically underrepresented in STEM.

 

In this role, you will create diverse fundraising plans that encompass individual giving, major donor cultivation, corporate partnerships, grants, and legacy giving and build relationships with existing and potential donors to encourage ongoing support and increased giving. You will plan, execute, and evaluate fundraising campaigns across various channels, setting targets, and monitoring progress. You will also have the opportunity to prepare compelling applications to secure funding from trusts, foundations, and government bodies. You will work closely with finance teams to monitor income, expenditure, and financial performance related to COMPOS activities.

 

In this role you will develop and implement comprehensive marketing plans to raise awareness of COMPOS’ mission, impact, and fundraising needs and ensure consistent and positive representation of COMPOS across all communications and activities. You will manage COMPOS’ online presence, including website content, social media strategy, email marketing campaigns, and potentially SEO/SEM efforts. You will also be expected to build relationships with schools, academy trusts and UK university Access and Outreach staff.

 

The successful applicant would need to be educated to degree level or equivalent and have experience of fundraising, marketing and business management within the third sector or higher education. You must have excellent interpersonal and communication skills. Strong numeracy skills and administration experience are also essential. The successful applicant must also satisfy an enhanced DBS check.

 

You will be required to upload a covering letter/supporting statement, CV and the details of two referees as part of your online application.

 

The closing date for applications is 12 noon on 25 July 2025

These specific challenges will be managed though an IPR Committee (IPRC): comprised of interdisciplinary members, including the public advisory group, experienced in value creation, capture, and transfer. The IPRC is charged with protecting both background and forthcoming scientific results, while maintaining knowledge sharing and cross-fertilisation.

 

The Project Manager will have experience in establishing and delivering complex projects, ensuring that both day-to-day project coordination and activities are completed to a high standard. You will be based in John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford but you will be able to agree a pattern of regular remote working with your line manager.

 

The activities will include:

• Liaison with other work package leads within the consortium

• Project reporting on a regular basis

• Collaboration with other teams within the program for delivering inter-disciplinary tasks

• Prepare and host Innovation Management Seminars x2

• Chairing periodic Meetings of Innovation Management Group to steer innovation for the consortium

• Recording of new innovations, selection of asset classes and protection, education on IPR and horizon scanning for new developments in industry/academia.

 

About you 

You will have excellent interpersonal and management skills and be able to interact productively and accurately with other team members, researchers and collaborators across different sectors. While this collaborative approach will be a key feature of your role, you will also be required to work independently, taking the lead in initiatives. You will be able to handle a demanding and varied workload, managing your time and prioritising your work effectively.

 

This part-time post is available immediately and is fixed-term until 30 November 2027 in the first instance.

About the role

We have an exciting opportunity to join the Draper Group in the Department of Paediatrics as our Clinical Research Fellow – Malaria Vaccine Programme.

 

This role is focused on supporting the design, delivery and execution of clinical trials of a next-generation multi-stage malaria vaccine candidate through Phase 1 optimisation and Phase 2 efficacy testing at both existing and new collaborative partner sites across East and West Africa. This programme of work is part of a new EDCTP3-funded consortium led by Professor Angela Minassian. In addition, the role will include support for the vaccine and human malaria challenge studies in Oxford, working closely with other members of the clinical team. The post will involve travel to one or more African sites (approximately 2-3 short trips per year), providing some experience working in low resource settings, working with local clinicians and laboratory research staff. However, the majority of the role will be based in Oxford.

 

The successful applicant will work closely with the Oxford clinical team, led by Professor Minassian, and with African partner teams, to lead on and maintain high quality in the design and conduct of these studies. The Oxford clinical team are based at the Centre for Clinical Vaccinology and Tropical Medicine, Churchill Hospital, and are fully integrated with the Draper Group laboratory research team based in central Oxford. This forms part of a new hub for infectious disease and immunology research in the Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin Building and Kavli Institute for Nanoscience Discovery. The group’s current website is here: https://draperlab.web.ox.ac.uk/.

 

The post will provide front-line experience of clinical research in a multi-disciplinary academic environment and the research is expected to lead to high quality publications. This includes opportunities for suitable candidates to seek independent research funding and to develop a laboratory, clinical or a translational research proposal for a higher degree (DM/DPhil).

 

You will be working in a growing department within the Medical Sciences Division. The Department of Paediatrics is a world leader in child health research and hosts internationally renowned research programmes in drug development, gastroenterology, haematology, HIV, immunology, neuroimaging, neuromuscular diseases and vaccinology. The Draper Group under the lead of Professor Simon Draper has a strong translational focus, seeking to develop innovative and new concepts in vaccine or antibody-based design and delivery, and with full integration of the clinical and laboratory teams. Over the last 15 years we have translated eleven vaccine candidates, including viral vectors, recombinant proteins-in-adjuvants and a virus-like particle, into Phase 1 and 2 clinical trials in the UK and Africa. Over half of these trials include an experimental malaria challenge component, either with falciparum or vivax malaria parasites.

 

This position is offered full-time on a fixed-term contract initially 2 years or until 31 May 2028, whichever is sooner, with the possibility to extend provided further external funding is available.

 

This role meets the criteria for a UK Skilled Worker visa.
