Appointments would normally be at the bottom of the scale. Start date 1st September 2025 (or as soon as possible thereafter) Hours Full time (37.5 hours per week) Contract type Fixed-term for 24 months Method of Application Electronic (see ‘How to Apply’ below) Application deadline Midday on Friday 1st August 2025 Number of referees required Two references (please note that reference letters will only be requested at the shortlisting stage) Vacancy reference 180851 Recruitment contact recruitments@history.ox.ac.uk The role Applications are invited for a two-year, fixed-term Teaching Fellowship in the History of the Middle East since World War I, tenable from 1 September 2025. This will be a teaching-only position, across undergraduate and taught postgraduate cohorts, with no requirement that the postholder will undertake research during their appointment. The purpose of post is specifically to provide a time-limited period of teaching development and support, so there is no expectation that the post will be extended beyond the advertised period of two years. The person appointed to the position will be expected to give high-quality tutorials, classes, lectures, and supervision in History at both undergraduate and graduate level and contribute to, develop and enhance the learning and teaching in the field of the History of the Middle East since World War I. The demand for Global and Imperial History among undergraduates and taught postgraduates at the Faculty of History is consistently high. The Faculty has a strong and growing interest at undergraduate level in the histories of non-Western history, particularly in the histories of colonial and postcolonial states, societies and cultures, and of decolonisation and globalisation. It consistently attracts a significant number of high-quality and highly diverse research postgraduate applications in the field of Middle East History. ‘The Middle East in the Age of Empire 1830-1971’ is the most popular of the undergraduate 2nd year Further Subject options. The area is also central to the very popular outline paper ‘The Global Twentieth Century 1930-2003’. In addition, there is consistently high demand for supervision of undergraduate theses in this field. The Faculty’s commitment to the history of the region is evidenced in the introduction in 2023 of an ‘Arabic for Historians’ course (taught through the Language Teaching Centre) which students take in addition to their other papers. The Teaching Fellow will specifically contribute to teaching and supervision in the History of the Middle East since World War I, including Turkey, Iraq, Iran and the Gulf States. This is an area that has attracted a great deal of scholarship in recent years, and looks likely to continue to do so, given the region’s strategic importance, and the ongoing conflicts of statehood, ethnicity and confession. The Teaching Fellow will also contribute to the new Masters curriculum, which will be inaugurated in 2026, and will offer an Option paper on the Middle East. The appointee will be assigned a mentor, who will be a senior member of the Department or the History Faculty. Responsibilities/duties General duties 1.

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 decisionmaking. The Conference Secretariat exists to support Conference in its functions. Much of the work of Conference takes place through its different committees, as well as time-limited working groups and projects on specific policy issues. The Secretariat is a team of 7 staff, each with expertise and responsibility in different areas of policy and operations.

The Department of Materials has been awarded departmental Bronze Athena SWAN status in recognition of its efforts to introduce organisational and cultural practices that promote gender equality and create a better working environment for both men and women. Job applications are particularly welcome from women and black and ethnic minority candidates, who are underrepresented in research posts in the Department. Work/life balance The Department of Materials is actively promoting the provision of a family friendly working environment and together with the University of Oxford recognises the demands of work/life balance. Therefore, for this project we encourage applications from candidates who wish either to hold these positions on a full time, or part time basis or need flexibility in their working hours and will discuss these opportunities with shortlisted applicants at interview. The role Solid-state spin photon interfaces are central to emerging quantum technologies, such as optical quantum networks and quantum sensors. Point defects in wide-bandgap solids are an example, where the deterministic interaction between emitted photons and electronic and nuclear spins enables photon mediated entanglement for distributed quantum networks. Optical readout of electronic and nuclear spins on the single spin level can give rise to nanoscale sensors of magnetic field, temperature and pressure. Recently, our research group has pioneered the identification of optically addressable, carbonrelated spin defects in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN)1,2,4. The defects we study are bright single- 2 photon emitters with quantum coherent electronic spins at room temperature2. Now, we plan to transform the material system to platform for quantum technology, a coherent 2D spin-photon interface for networks and sensing. To work towards this goal, this 2-year project will develop photoluminescence and spin control capabilities, under cryogenic conditions, to probe the defects’ electronic structure and spin properties. This effort will be combined with ongoing work in the group on the characterisation and optimisation of the hBN material and defect formation, which we perform in collaboration with a wide group of material scientists and electron microscopists. We are looking for an excellent post-doctoral candidate with a PhD degree (or near completion) in quantum optics, solid-state quantum physics, magnetic resonance or related areas. The successful candidate will be part of our research team and involved in designing and implementing experiments, disseminating our work via writing research articles and giving oral presentations at conferences and participating in the training and management of PhD students.

Applications are invited for a 2-year, full-time, fixed-term Teaching Fellow in Twentieth-Century British History within the University of Oxford, Faculty of History, George Street, OX1 2RL, and from the date the Humanities department moves to its new premises, The Stephen A Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities in the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter, Oxford.

 

The Role 

 

This will be a teaching-only position, across undergraduate and taught postgraduate cohorts, with no requirement that the postholder will undertake research during their appointment. The purpose of post is specifically to provide a time-limited period of teaching development and support, so as a result there is no expectation that the post will be extended beyond the advertised period of two years.

 

The person appointed to the position will be expected to give high-quality tutorials, classes, lectures, and supervision in History at both undergraduate and graduate level and contribute to, develop and enhance the learning and teaching in the field of Twentieth-Century British History.

 

The teaching of the period since 1900 faces the unique challenge that its chronological scope is constantly expanding. As a consequence, the Faculty increasingly delivers teaching that covers the early twenty-first century as part of its offering. Alongside this increased chronological scope, the teaching of modern British history has in recent years engaged with burgeoning new historiographies, such as the histories of gender, sexuality, race, and imperialism. This provides a unique opportunity for the Teaching Fellow to contribute to a popular and dynamic undergraduate and postgraduate teaching field.

 

About you 

 

You will have a completed doctorate in a relevant field, or evidence that a doctorate is close to completion. Candidates who have submitted their dissertation will be considered, subject to successful examination. An aptitude for teaching, the ability to inspire and enthuse students and a record of successful teaching in the field of Twentieth-Century British History is essential as is sufficient depth and breadth of knowledge in the subject to develop course materials.  The ability to take on administrative responsibilities such as coordinating an undergraduate cohort or core undergraduate course, as well as a strong publication record commensurate with career stage is also essential. Experience of pastoral care of undergraduate students would be desirable.

 

Application Process 

 

For an informal discussion about this opportunity, please contact Professor Martin Conway (martin.conway@history.ox.ac.uk), current Faculty Board Chair and Professor of Contemporary European History; all practical and procedural queries should be sent to our recruitments team: recruitments@history.ox.ac.uk. All enquiries will be treated in strict confidence; they will not form part of the selection decision.

 

You will be required to complete a supporting statement, setting out how you meet the selection criteria, curriculum vitae and the names and contact details of two referees as part of your online application.

 

Only applications submitted online and received before noon Friday 1st August 2025 can be considered.

"""We are looking for an excellent post-doctoral candidate with a PhD / DPhil (or near completion) in quantum optics, solid state quantum physics, magnetic resonance or related areas. The successful candidate will be part of our research team and involved in designing and implementing experiments, disseminating our work via writing research articles and giving oral presentations at conferences, and participating in the training and management of PhD students. Solid-state spin photon interfaces are central to emerging quantum technologies, such as optical quantum networks and quantum sensors. Point defects in wide-bandgap solids are an example, where the deterministic interaction between emitted photons and electronic and nuclear spins enables photon mediated entanglement for distributed quantum networks. Optical readout of electronic and nuclear spins on the single spin level can give rise to nanoscale sensors of magnetic field, temperature and pressure. Recently, our research group has pioneered the identification of optically addressable, carbon-related spin defects in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). The defects we study are bright single-photon emitters with quantum coherent electronic spins at room temperature. Now, we plan to transform the material system to platform for quantum technology, a coherent 2D spin-photon interface for networks and sensing. To work towards this goal, this 2-year project will develop photoluminescence and spin control capabilities, under cryogenic conditions, to probe the defects’ electronic structure and spin properties. This effort will be combined with ongoing work in the group on the characterisation and optimisation of the hBN material and defect formation, which we perform in collaboration with a wide group of material scientists and electron microscopists. This postdoctoral research associate position is for 2 years, based in the Department of Materials, University of Oxford which is located in central Oxford. The successful candidate will be expected to work with (including designing, aligning and operating) quantum optical and magnetic resonance setups and will benefit from the active research environment within quantum-related research in Oxford and will receive support and mentoring towards their own career development.

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 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.

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 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. 3 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. 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). 4 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. 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.

"""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.

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

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.

We are looking for an excellent post-doctoral candidate with a PhD / DPhil (or near completion) in quantum optics, solid state quantum physics, magnetic resonance or related areas. The successful candidate will be part of our research team and involved in designing and implementing experiments, disseminating our work via writing research articles and giving oral presentations at conferences, and participating in the training and management of PhD students.

 

Solid-state spin- photon interfaces are central to emerging quantum technologies, such as optical quantum networks and quantum sensors. For example, atomic-scale point defects in wide-bandgap solids can exhibit a deterministic interaction between emitted photons and electronic and nuclear spins that enables photon mediated entanglement for distributed quantum networks. Optical readout of electronic and nuclear spins on the single spin level can give rise to nanoscale sensors of magnetic field, temperature, and pressure.

 

We have recently discovered that two dimensional materials, namely hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), can host bright single photon emitting defects with quantum coherent electronic spins at room temperature. Now, our main objective is to transform the material system to a platform for quantum technology: a coherent 2D spin-photon interface for networks and sensing. To achieve this goal, this project will advance the pulsed spin control of defects in hBN via a combination of quantum optical and magnetic resonance techniques. This effort will be combined with ongoing work in the group on the characterisation and optimisation of the hBN material and defect formation, which we perform in collaboration with a wide group of material scientists and electron microscopists.

 

This postdoctoral research associate position is for 1.5 years, with the possibility of a 1 year extension, based in the Department of Materials, University of Oxford which is located in central Oxford.

 

The successful candidate will be expected to work with (including designing, aligning and operating) quantum optical and magnetic resonance setups. The successful candidate will be part of our research team and involved in designing and implementing experiments, disseminating our work via writing research articles and giving oral presentations at conferences and participating in the training and management of PhD students.

 

All applications must be made online using the Oxford University E-Recruitment system, no later than 12 noon on Friday 15 November 2024. You will be required to upload a CV and a Supporting Statement as part of your application. Please do not attach any manuscripts, papers, transcripts, mark sheets or certificates as these will not be considered as part of your application.

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).

About the role

The NetZeroAICT Consortium (Oxford PI: Professor Regent Lee) is seeking a part time project manager to primarily support and manage the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) arising from this Horizon Europe funded project, designated as a specific work package within the consortium project. Information regarding the NetZeroAICT project can be found on the consortium website.

 

Intellectual property rights (IPR) for AI, data, and software is ubiquitous in NetZeroAICT, producing many challenges in management, protection and exploitation. Principally due to the span of unique applications; capabilities to deploy globally; lightening pace of development, modularity, and combinatorial nature. In an increasingly digitalized world: AI, data, and software are required to process complexity, present simplicity via user interfaces and experiences, whilst adhering to formal/ de-facto standards yielding unified interoperability.

 

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.  

 

Application Process

If you would like to discuss this role please contact Regent Lee regent.lee@nds.ox.ac.uk

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.

"""We are looking for an excellent post-doctoral candidate with a PhD / DPhil (or near completion) in quantum optics, solid state quantum physics, magnetic resonance or related areas. The successful candidate will be part of our research team and involved in designing and implementing experiments, disseminating our work via writing research articles and giving oral presentations at conferences, and participating in the training and management of PhD students. Solid-state spin- photon interfaces are central to emerging quantum technologies, such as optical quantum networks and quantum sensors. For example, atomic-scale point defects in wide-bandgap solids can exhibit a deterministic interaction between emitted photons and electronic and nuclear spins that enables photon mediated entanglement for distributed quantum networks. Optical readout of electronic and nuclear spins on the single spin level can give rise to nanoscale sensors of magnetic field, temperature, and pressure. We have recently discovered that two dimensional materials, namely hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), can host bright single photon emitting defects with quantum coherent electronic spins at room temperature. Now, our main objective is to transform the material system to a platform for quantum technology: a coherent 2D spin-photon interface for networks and sensing. To achieve this goal, this project will advance the pulsed spin control of defects in hBN via a combination of quantum optical and magnetic resonance techniques. This effort will be combined with ongoing work in the group on the characterisation and optimisation of the hBN material and defect formation, which we perform in collaboration with a wide group of material scientists and electron microscopists. This postdoctoral research associate position is for 1.5 years, with the possibility of a 1 year extension, based in the Department of Materials, University of Oxford which is located in central Oxford.

A postdoctoral research position is available in the Development of Operando X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy within the group of Professor Robert Weatherup in the Department of Materials at the University of Oxford.

 

Although near-Ambient Pressure XPS has enabled operando measurements of surface chemical processes in recent years, it is limited to low pressures (~ mbar) and complex, dedicated instrumentation often located at synchrotron facilities. We have recently developed operando cells which can perform XPS measurements at > 1 bar pressure by using graphene membranes as X-ray and electron transparent windows to separate a liquid/gas environment from the vacuum conditions typically needed (see 10.26434/chemrxiv-2025-0cgp0). This role therefore aims to translate this approach from the synchrotron to conventional lab-based XPS instruments, to make it a widely accessible research tool for academia and industry.

 

You will have responsibility for adapting ultrahigh vacuum equipment to accommodate the reaction cells, implementing gas and liquid delivery, and developing improvements in how the graphene windows are produced. Following from this, you will benchmark the performance, reliability and safety of your design and have the opportunity to demonstrate its performance by studying key catalytic reactions important to the energy transition.

 

Previous experience of adapting/developing vacuum instrumentation and a track record of peer-reviewed publications are essential. This 24 month position is available from 1st October 2025 or shortly thereafter.

 

Group website with research details and publications:

https://emi.web.ox.ac.uk 

All applications must be made online using the Oxford University E-Recruitment system, no later than 12 noon on 31st July 2025. You will be required to upload a CV and a Supporting Statement as part of your application.  Please do not attach any manuscripts, papers, transcripts, mark sheets or certificates as these will not be considered as part of your application.

 

The Supporting Statement should include short sections on the following (1-2 paragraphs each):

(a) previous experience in instrumentation development

(b) previous hands-on experience of XPS

 

Interviews are scheduled to take place at the Department of Materials on Tuesday 12th August 2025 and you must be available on this date, either by Teams, Zoom or in person.

"""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.

This will be a teaching-only position, across undergraduate and taught postgraduate cohorts, with no requirement that the postholder will undertake research during their appointment. The purpose of post is specifically to provide a time-limited period of teaching development and support, so as a result there is no expectation that the post will be extended beyond the advertised period of two years. The person appointed to the position will be expected to give high-quality tutorials, classes, lectures, and supervision in History at both undergraduate and graduate level and contribute to, develop and enhance the learning and teaching in the field of Twentieth-Century British History. The teaching of British and Irish history since 1900 is a major area of strength in the Oxford History Faculty; and a highly important part of the History Faculty’s offering at both undergraduate and graduate levels. For undergraduates, the survey courses History of the British Isles 1830-1951 (BIP-6, for the Part I examinations, Prelims) and History of the British Isles Since 1900 (BIF-7, for the Final Honours School), as well as a wide range of specialist Optional, Further and Special Subjects, command strong student interest.

At postgraduate level, the Faculty runs the MSt in Modern British History, which continues to recruit well, but therefore requires intense Faculty resources for the core Sources and Historiography seminar, Option courses, and dissertation supervision. The teaching of the period since 1900 faces the unique challenge that its chronological scope is constantly expanding. As a consequence, the Faculty increasingly delivers teaching that covers the early twenty-first century as part of its offering. Alongside this increased chronological scope, the teaching of modern British history has in recent years engaged with burgeoning new historiographies, such as the histories of gender, sexuality, race, and imperialism. This provides a unique opportunity for the Teaching Fellow to contribute to a popular and dynamic undergraduate and postgraduate teaching field. The appointee will be assigned a mentor, who will be a senior member of the History Faculty. Responsibilities/duties General duties 1. Engage positively and proactively with the academic community in the Faculty; 2. Engage in outreach activities for the Faculty of History; 3.

•         Construct Drosophila strains carrying the most up-to-date genetic tools to test the roles of specific neurons in physiological and behavioural experiments.

•         Assist in the daily housekeeping of the laboratory area and fly stock management.

•         Actively participate/get involved with all aspects of the Waddell Group including developing ideas for generating research income and contributing ideas to potentially new projects.

•         Be willing to share the expertise in cellular and molecular neurobiology with other members of the Oxford group.

•         Interpret results and represent your data at both Waddell Group lab meetings.

•         Represent the Waddell Group at International and national meetings by presenting posters and giving talks.

•         Collaborate with other group members to produce publishable data, posters, reports and journal articles.

 

Selection criteria:

•         Have completed or be near to completing a PhD in Neurobiology. 

•         Detailed understanding of using Drosophila melanogaster as a model. 

•         Strong knowledge and experience of advanced Drosophila genetic-engineering.

•         Experience with experimentation using molecular biology approaches.

•         Motivated to understand circuit basis of brain function and behavior. 

•         Experience in understanding the cellular and molecular basis of observed phenotypes

•         Motivation to analyse Drosophila behavior (e.g., locomotion, courtship, memory, etc.).

•         Experience in different modalities of microscopy (widefield, confocal, spinning disc, TIRF, super resolution), Image Processing (e.g., Fiji / ImageJ) and data analysis.

•         Good communication skills (written and oral). 

•         Attention to detail. 

•         Ability to work as part of large collaborative team. 

•         Evidence of prior research productivity.

•         Commitment to engaging with, and promoting awareness of, equality, diversity and inclusion and embedding these into your work.

 

What we offer:

St Anne’s College There are 36 self-governing and independent colleges at Oxford, three societies, and four permanent private halls, giving academic staff and students the benefits of belonging to a small, interdisciplinary community as well as to a large, internationally-renowned institution. The collegiate system fosters a strong sense of community, bringing together leading academics and students across subjects, and from different cultures and countries. St Anne’s is a modern College with the ambition to be a diverse and inclusive community contributing to the University’s vision to lead the world in education and research. Its values are to be: forward looking and outward facing; diverse and multidisciplinary; ambitious and down-to-earth; independent and collaborative, and rigorous and supportive. It is one of the largest Colleges in the University. Known for the diversity of its student body, it is an energetic and friendly community of some 825 students plus tutors and staff. Helen King (PPE, 1983) became the College’s Principal in April 2017. 6 St Anne’s has a radical tradition. It can trace its origins back to 1879 and the formation of the ‘Association for the Education of Women in Oxford’. It became a college in 1952 and first admitted men in 1979. The College has always set its face outwards towards the world, driven by its commitment to making the opportunities of an Oxford education accessible to those of academic potential who otherwise might not envisage themselves in Oxford. The College has about 455 undergraduate students, 35 visiting, recognised and other students, and a graduate community of around 330 (taught and research). It also has a large and committed alumnae base. St Anne’s Tutorial Fellows are supported in their teaching by a team of college and departmental lecturers and the College is also home to a group of Research Fellows and Associates who contribute to the academic life of the College. A support staff of over 90 provides administrative, library, maintenance, IT, accommodation and catering services. The College has an on-site children’s nursery with preference for places being given to the children of College staff. Research and teaching are supported by the College Library which holds one of the largest lending collections of all the Oxford colleges with around 100,000 volumes. The Library has strong interdisciplinary collections, is open 24/7, and offers generous borrowing amounts and loan periods. Library staff actively encourage suggestions for purchase and over recent years have added a number of titles requested by tutors across all disciplines. As well as the lending collection, the Library has a small but interesting collection of rare books and it supports Fellows, JRFs and lecturers who want to use these for their own research or with their students in classes held in the reading rooms. St Anne's has a large, international community of researchers. The collegiate nature of the University of Oxford provides a unique forum for collaborative working and interdisciplinary research. St Anne's is committed to developing this potential and to encouraging dialogue at all stages of academic life. Research activities at St Anne's are supported by a programme of workshops, seminars and lectures that bring together research fellows, lecturers and teaching fellows, and give graduate students the chance to share their research. As well as the Centre for Personalised Medicine, the College hosts the Oxford Comparative Criticism and Translation project. The College website provides more information on these initiatives: www.st-annes.ox.ac.uk/about/research-and-initiatives. History at St Anne’s College History is a strong and large subject at St Anne’s and is offered sole, and as part of joint honours degrees with Politics and with Economics. A BA in Ancient and Modern History is also offered. Students in History or in combination with Politics or Economics number about 10 per year (around six sole and four joint). There are also students reading for History and Modern Languages, who number around four at any one time. At graduate level, St Anne’s offers places to around 15 students at any one time, reading for DPhils, MPhils, MLitts and MScs. Visiting students number around six a year. We also sometimes have PGCE students whose subject is History. The opening in 2025 of the Schwartzman Centre, across the road from the College, which will bring together humanities faculties and institutes across the University, will make the study of History at St Anne’s even more attractive.

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. This involves small scale project management, to co-ordinate multiple aspects of work to meet deadlines. Adapt existing and develop new scientific techniques and experimental protocols. Test hypotheses and analyse scientific data from a variety of sources, reviewing and refining working hypotheses as appropriate. Contribute ideas for new research projects. Develop ideas for generating research income, and present detailed research proposals to senior researchers. Keep detailed, accurate and comprehensible records of your work on a daily basis. Provide regular updates of your work. Collaborate in the preparation of scientific reports and journal articles and occasionally present papers and posters. Undertake appropriate administrative/organisational duties within the group as required and contribute to project management and administration to meet deadlines and budgets. Use specialist scientific equipment in a laboratory environment. Act as a source of information and advice to other members of the group on scientific protocols and experimental techniques. Represent the research group at 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. 2 Selection criteria Essential • • • • • • • • • • Hold a relevant PhD/DPhil (or close to completion) in molecular biology, biochemistry, biotechnology, biological chemistry, or synthetic biology or related subject.

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.

Its nine academic departments span the full spectrum of the mathematical, computational, physical, and engineering and life sciences, and undertake both fundamental research and cutting-edge applied work. Research in MPLS tackles major societal and technological challenges – whether developing new energy solutions or improved cancer treatments, understanding climate change processes, or helping to preserve biodiversity – and is increasingly focused on key interdisciplinary issues. We collaborate closely with colleagues in Oxford across the medical sciences, social sciences and humanities and with other universities, research organisations and industrial partners across the globe in pursuit of innovative research geared to address critical and fundamental scientific questions. MPLS is proud to be the home of some of the most creative and innovative scientific thinkers and leaders working in academe. Our senior researchers have been awarded some of the most significant scientific honours, including the most recent award of a Nobel Prize for Physics 2020 to Sir Roger Penrose. Within MPLS we are as focused on the generation as we are on those who have gone before, having a strong tradition of attracting and nurturing the very best early career researchers who regularly secure prestigious fellowships and faculty positions. MPLS continues in its work to support diversity in its staffing, seeing that it will bring benefits to everyone. All academic departments in the Division hold Athena Swan Awards. (The Athena Swan Charter encourages and recognises commitment to advancing the careers of women in science, technology, engineering, maths and medicine employment in higher education and research.)

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.

"""The University of Oxford Department of Earth Sciences Job Description and Selection Criteria Job title Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Macroecology, Paleobiology, & Niche Modelling Division MPLS Department Earth Sciences Location South Parks Road, Oxford Grade and salary Grade 7 £39,749 – £40,855 Hours Full Time Contract type Fixed-term until 30 September 2028 Reporting to Prof Erin Saupe Vacancy reference 179897 Additional information Closing date: midday (UK time) on 01 August 2025 and interviews will be held on 11 August 2025 Research topic The PDRA will quantitatively model the ecological niches of migratory whale species in both the present and past Principal Investigator / supervisor Erin Saupe (Oxford); Katrina Jones (Bristol) Project team Funding partner Recent publications Katrina Jones (Bristol), Paul Valdes (Bristol), Alex Farnsworth (Bristol) The funds supporting this research project are provided by a NERC grant: Cruising the whale superhighway: The evolution, biomechanics, and ecological drivers of migration in cetaceans N/A The University of Oxford Department of Earth Sciences The role Reporting to Prof Erin Saupe, the post holder will be a member of a research group with responsibility for carrying out research for NERC grant ‘Cruising the whale superhighway: The evolution, biomechanics, and ecological drivers of migration in cetaceans’. 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.

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/.

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 5 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.

The Department of Statistics The Department of Statistics at Oxford is a world-leading centre for research with a broad portfolio that covers pure theory, the development of innovative methods to analyse and understand data, and their applications to scientific and societal problems. Research is loosely structured around seven interconnected research groups: Statistical Theory and Methodology; Computational Statistics and Machine Learning; the Oxford Protein Informatics Group; Probability; Statistical Genetics and Epidemiology; Economics and Population Statistics; and Computational Biology and Bioinformatics. The Department has recently undergone a period of rapid expansion, growing from 21 submitted researchers in the 2014 Research Excellence Framework exercise to 32 in REF 2021. The Department relocated to a newly renovated building on St Giles’ in the heart of the University of Oxford in 2015. The building provides state-of-the-art teaching facilities and modern space to facilitate collaboration and integration, creating a highly visible centre for Statistics in Oxford. Since moving to St Giles’, Faculty have secured over £14m in research funding from a variety of funders including UKRI, the Wellcome Trust, the European Commission, NIH, and industrial partners from sectors ranging from services to pharma. Research from the Department of Statistics and the Mathematical Institute in Oxford was submitted together for the UK’s most recent national research assessment exercise, the Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2021. Overall, 78% of our submission was judged to be 4* (the highest score available, for research quality that is world-leading in terms of originality, significance, and rigour). This outstanding result is a testament to the breadth, quality and impact of the research produced by colleagues in our two departments, and the outstanding environment in which they work, supported by our excellent professional services staff. The Department’s research excellence has been recognised both collectively, through success in REF 2021, and individually. Awards include Fellowships of the Royal Society to Christl Donnelly and Alison Etheridge; FMedSci and the Zoological Society of London’s Frink Award to Christl Donnelly; the Royal _________________________________________________________________________ Statistical Society Guy Medal in Bronze to Chris Holmes, the Weldon Memorial Prize, the Francis Crick Prize Lecture, and the Genetics Society Balfour Prize to Simon Myers. Alison Etheridge, Christina Goldschmidt, Gesine Reinert and Judith Rousseau are all Fellows of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics, and Alison Etheridge is a former President. Christl Donnelly is the Vice President for External Affairs of the Royal Statistical Society. The Department is home to Oxford University Statistical Consulting, which provides comprehensive statistical consultancy services to both internal departments and external businesses. It operates across a wide range of sectors, and offers experience in all aspects of data-based research.

The Conference of Colleges – an association for Oxford’s 39 colleges and four Permanent Private Halls – is seeking two Policy Officers to join its Secretariat. If you’re an organised, proactive professional with a passion for higher education and policy development, this is your opportunity to join the team!

 

Location: University Offices, Wellington Square, Oxford, OX1 2JD

Salary: Grade 6: £34,982 to £40,855 per annum (pro rata if part time)

Contract: Full time/Part Time (0.6FTE/0.8FTE or full-time - We are open to a discussion about part-time working), Permanent

 

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.

 

As a Policy Officer, you'll contribute across a wide range of policy areas including legal, compliance, ICT, finance, and governance. Tasks include:

•         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

•         Strong ICT skills

•         Collaborative, professional, and the experience in engaging and managing stakeholders

•         The ability to handle complex and confidential issues confidently

 

Familiarity with Oxford’s college system or prior experience in committee servicing or specific policy areas is highly desirable.

 

Application Process

To apply, please send the below details to confcoll@admin.ox.ac.uk

•         A covering letter/supporting statement setting out how you meet the competencies in the job description

•         Your CV

•         The details of two referees and indicate whether we can contact them now

 

Your application will be judged solely on how you demonstrate that you meet the selection criteria stated in the job description.

 

The closing date for applications is 12 noon on Tuesday 26 August 2025.

 

We plan to hold in-person interviews on Thursday 11 September. There will be a short pre-interview written exercise, to be completed during the week before the interview date. We would ideally like the successful candidates to start as soon as possible after the interview date.

The IBME is situated on the medical campus (about a mile from the centre of Oxford), close to the Churchill Hospital, the Oxford Cancer Hospital, and is less than half a mile away from the John Radcliffe Hospitals and the Children’s Hospital. The IBME is the only research institute from the MPLS Division situated on the medical campus. It is co-located with four other medical research institutes, in a modern building with excellent laboratory, IT, and workshop facilities. Biomedical Engineering in Oxford has a long tradition of “spinning out” companies from its research laboratories, with more than ten companies being founded in the last decade. The IBME offers a world-class venue for biomedical engineering research and postgraduate research training where engineers and clinicians work together on addressing unmet needs in the prevention, early diagnosis and treatment of major diseases and conditions. The Institute’s core mission is to develop novel medical devices, technology, and systems capable of delivering substantial healthcare benefit, and to translate new engineering technologies into clinical practice. The IBME was awarded one of the 2015 Queen’s Anniversary Prizes for Higher Education for “new collaborations between engineering and medicine delivering benefit to patients”. Since opening in April 2008, the IBME has won more than £50 million of new research grants; it housed a Centre of Excellence in Medical Engineering jointly funded by the Wellcome Trust and EPSRC from 2009 to 2015. It also receives more than £1 million a year from the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) for translational research.

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 1,000 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 placed the University of Oxford as number one in the world for Social Sciences in 2018 and 2019. REF 2014 confirmed Oxford as the UK powerhouse for research in the social sciences, accounting for more 4* research than any other institution. 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. As well as May 2025 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, eleven of our departments have achieved bronze Athena SWAN awards (a UK accreditation scheme recognising organisations’ commitment to equality and diversity, particularly in gender): the Oxford Internet Institute, Global and Area Studies, Sociology, Archaeology, the Blavatnik School of Government, Economics, Education, International Development, Law, Anthropology & Museum Ethnography, and the Saïd Business School; and the School of Geography and the Environment holds an Athena SWAN silver award.

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.

 

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 31 May 2028 and is funded by the Advanced Research and Innovation Agency (ARIA).

 

Only applications received before 12 midday on 4 August 2025 will be considered. Please quote 180422 on all correspondence.

 

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

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. You would be expected to use specialist computer codes (e.g. 180404 JD and Person Spec 2025-06-12 2 particle-in-cell and fluid codes) hosted on local and national high-performance computing clusters, and to manage the research group’s use of these facilities. 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. This will involve small scale project management and coordination of multiple aspects of work to meet deadlines. • Taking responsibility for ensuring that the group’s laboratories are operated in a safe manner, and acting as deputy Safety Officer when Prof. Hooker is absent. • Participating in funding applications and project reporting. • The post-holder will have the opportunity to teach. This may include lecturing, small group teaching, and tutoring of undergraduates and graduate students.

"""A postdoctoral research position is available in the Development of _Operando_ X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy within the group of Professor Robert Weatherup in the Department of Materials at the University of Oxford. Although near-Ambient Pressure XPS has enabled operando measurements of surface chemical processes in recent years, it is limited to low pressures (~ mbar) and complex, dedicated instrumentation often located at synchrotron facilities. We have recently developed _operando_ cells which can perform XPS measurements at > 1 bar pressure by using graphene membranes as X-ray and electron transparent windows to separate a liquid/gas environment from the vacuum conditions typically needed (see 10.26434/chemrxiv-2025-0cgp0). This role therefore aims to translate this approach from the synchrotron to conventional lab-based XPS instruments, to make it a widely accessible research tool for academia and industry. You will have responsibility for adapting ultrahigh vacuum equipment to accommodate the reaction cells, implementing gas and liquid delivery, and developing improvements in how the graphene windows are produced. Following from this, you will benchmark the performance, reliability and safety of your design and have the opportunity to demonstrate its performance by studying key catalytic reactions important to the energy transition. Previous experience of adapting/developing vacuum instrumentation and a track record of peer-reviewed publications are essential.

We are looking for an excellent post-doctoral candidate with a PhD / DPhil (or near completion) in quantum optics, solid state quantum physics, magnetic resonance or related areas. The successful candidate will be part of our research team and involved in designing and implementing experiments, disseminating our work via writing research articles and giving oral presentations at conferences, and participating in the training and management of PhD students.

 

Solid-state spin photon interfaces are central to emerging quantum technologies, such as optical quantum networks and quantum sensors. Point defects in wide-bandgap solids are an example, where the deterministic interaction between emitted photons and electronic and nuclear spins enables photon mediated entanglement for distributed quantum networks. Optical readout of electronic and nuclear spins on the single spin level can give rise to nanoscale sensors of magnetic field, temperature and pressure.

 

Recently, our research group has pioneered the identification of optically addressable, carbon-related spin defects in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). The defects we study are bright single-photon emitters with quantum coherent electronic spins at room temperature. Now, we plan to transform the material system to platform for quantum technology, a coherent 2D spin-photon interface for networks and sensing. To work towards this goal, this 2-year project will develop photoluminescence and spin control capabilities, under cryogenic conditions, to probe the defects’ electronic structure and spin properties. This effort will be combined with ongoing work in the group on the characterisation and optimisation of the hBN material and defect formation, which we perform in collaboration with a wide group of material scientists and electron microscopists.  

 

This postdoctoral research associate position is for 2 years, based in the Department of Materials, University of Oxford which is located in central Oxford.

 

The successful candidate will be expected to work with (including designing, aligning and operating) quantum optical and magnetic resonance setups and will benefit from the active research environment within quantum-related research in Oxford and will receive support and mentoring towards their own career development.

 

All applications must be made online using the Oxford University E-Recruitment system, no later than 12 noon on Monday 1 September 2025. You will be required to upload a CV and a Supporting Statement as part of your application. Please do not attach any manuscripts, papers, transcripts, mark sheets or certificates as these will not be considered as part of your application.

"""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.

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.

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.

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. More information about the Institute and its research programmes may be found at www.zero.ox.ac.uk.

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.

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.

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. The School holds a bronze Athena Swan award to recognise advancement of gender equality: representation, progression and success for all. 8 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 2024. We have placed first in four of the last five years (2 019, 2021, 2022 & 2023). More than 800 researchers were returned to Main Panel C (Social Sciences) for REF 2021 across a diverse range of subject area ‘units of assessment’ – from geography and business to archaeology and law. Over 55% of the research submitted from the Division was judged to be world-leading (4*, the highest score available). More than two-thirds (69%) of the research’s impact was also recognised as world-leading (4*). Research from across the Division was also submitted to subject areas across Panels A (Medicine, health and life sciences), B (Physical sciences, engineering and mathematics), and D (Arts and Humanities), highlighting the enormous breadth and diversity of research expertise across the Division. Our academic and research staff and students are international thought leaders, generating new evidence, insights and policy tools with which to address some of the major global challenges facing humanity, such as sustainable resource management, poverty and forced migration, effective governance and justice. Particular research highlights in recent years have included COVID-19 and Climate Change. As well as active interdisciplinary links with researchers in other divisions at Oxford, we engage and collaborate extensively with other universities and a wide range of governmental and nongovernmental practitioner communities such as law, business, public health and welfare, international development and education around the world. The Division has an extensive portfolio of external funders, partners and supporters, with competitively-awarded external research income exceeding £50 million per year and philanthropic income over £25 million a year. As part of our commitment to equality of opportunity, thirteen of our departments have achieved Bronze awards under the Athena Swan Charter (a UK accreditation scheme recognising organisations’ commitment to equality and diversity, particularly in gender). Our School of Geography and the Environment 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 9 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.

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.

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 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.

Careers Service The Careers Service at Oxford University, probably the oldest such service in the UK, serves over 26,500 Oxfordbased clients; many hundreds of employers seeking to attract and recruit undergraduates, postgraduates, research staff and alumni; and the colleges, faculties, and departments of the University. The Careers Service’s priorities are to help applicants and employers to make the best, most informed decisions to their mutual benefit. Part of this involves preparing students to apply for and to secure employment – whether it is internship/work experience or full-time permanent posts. Student employability is central to the mission of the Careers Service. It is arguable that one of the key success measures for the Service is related to two measures in the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF), ie, % employed, fifteen months after leaving, in any or in graduate-level work or further study. However, since there are many inputs to this measure, we translate this to mean that the main role for the Service in this area is to provide students the opportunities to improve their employability. The Careers Service is particularly evidence based: biannual surveys of students, regular surveys of employers, university colleagues and alumni, all inform our activities. The needs of employers and desires of students change and we react accordingly. The University has built an innovative, entrepreneurial and client-focused Careers Service with very high levels of engagement with students and employers, attracted by added value services that are efficiently provided. In summary, the objectives of the Careers Service are to:  Deliver service at the place of work (in College, Department, Faculty, home, office; on new and old media)  Proactively network with all stakeholders  Provide highly valued skills and experiences to support employability Careers Adviser Job Description 4  Enable recruiters to engage easily with the best job seekers (be they undergraduates, postgraduates, researchers or alumni) Be nimble and responsive to embrace continual change.  Work effectively within the structure of the collegiate university, recognising the University’s mission is academic-led teaching and research. University Administration and Services University Administration and Services (UAS) is the collective term for the central administrative departments of the University. UAS comprises structures to: • support the University’s core academic purposes of teaching, learning and research; • ensure the University can meet the requirements of government, funding bodies and other external agencies; and • facilitate the attainment of the objectives set out in the University’s Strategic Plan. The offices of the UAS sections are spread across the city centre, with the main University Offices located in Wellington Square.

Department of Social Policy and Intervention The Department of Social Policy and Intervention is a multidisciplinary, social science centre of excellence for research and teaching in comparative social policy and evidence-based social intervention and policy evaluation. In the UK-wide 2021 Research Excellence Framework (REF), it was a top-five scoring department in the country, across all subjects and universities, with 62 per cent of the Department’s research activity classified as ‘world leading’ (4*) 3 with a further 30 per cent classed as ‘internationally excellent’ (3*). In the most recent QS World University Rankings by Subject (2022) the Department ranked second in Social Policy and Administration globally. The Department has undergone substantial transformation in recent years. This renewal includes the expansion of graduate teaching and supervision in policy evaluation and comparative social policy; significant expansion in research income; and the creation of new research groups and areas of research expertise. The Department's teaching is largely devoted to graduate students. It offers master’s degrees in Comparative Social Policy (CSP) and in Evidence-Based Social Intervention and Policy Evaluation (EBSIPE). Students may study for either a one-year MSc or a two-year MPhil. The Department also offers supervision for doctoral degrees in Social Policy or in Social Intervention and Policy Evaluation. The graduate intake is highly international with students drawn from the United Kingdom, EU member states, and many countries across the world. Research within the Department is largely organised under the auspices of two main research groups: • • The Centre for Evidence-Based Intervention (CEBI) The Oxford Institute of Social Policy (OISP) More information about the department can be found at www.spi.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 1,000 academic and research staff working across fifteen departments, faculties, and schools. The Head of the Social Sciences Division is Professor Timothy Powers, who is a member of the University’s Council. The Division is a world-leading centre of research and education in the social sciences. The Times Higher Education (THE) University Rankings placed the University of Oxford as number one in the world for Social Sciences in 2018 and 2019. REF 2014 confirmed Oxford as the UK powerhouse for research in the social sciences, accounting for more 4* research than any other institution. 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. 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: the Blavatnik School of Government, Economics, Education, International Development, Law, Geography & the Environment, Anthropology & Museum Ethnography, and the Saïd Business School, with all our other departments either in the process of applying or 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 master’s level programmes such as the Bachelor in Civil Law (BCL), Environmental Change and Management, International Relations, and Social Data Science.

Morstyn, ‘The Impact of Grid Storage on Balancing Costs and Carbon Emissions in Great Britain’, arXiv, 2024. doi: 10.48550/arXiv.2410.07740 The role The University of Oxford is recruiting a postdoctoral research associate to undertake original research on the grid integration of second-life battery storage systems. Vehicle electrification is rapidly accelerating around the world. Electric vehicle duty cycle requirements lead to early disposal of their batteries, which in theory creates a significant economic opportunity for redeployment as stationary power grid storage. However, second-life batteries have seen limited uptake, hampered by a lack of understanding around their technical performance, grid integration and economics. This position will focus on understanding the integration of second-life batteries into power grid planning and operation, and the value for global power systems, including for expanding clean electricity access in the Global South. The research will bring together second-life battery modelling, power system optimisation and technoeconomic evaluation. The position is part of the new Oxford Martin Programme on Circular Battery Economies. The research associate will be part of the Power Systems Architecture Lab, led by Professor Thomas Morstyn, which focuses on power system digitalisation and market design. They will also be co-supervised by Professor David Howey, who leads the Battery Intelligence Lab. The project will involve close collaboration with researchers from other disciplines within the Circular Battery Economies Programme who are working on second-life battery modelling, re-certification, and redeployment, as well as social acceptability and policy design.

In this role, you will take the lead in developing our computer vision software for quantitative microscopy: Deep Learning for Time-lapse Analysis (DeLTA). Originally developed by Dr Jean-Baptiste Lugagne and collaborators in the Dunlop lab at Boston University, DeLTA has be-come a widely recognised open-source tool for analysing bacterial time-lapse microscopy. Now a reference in academic research, it is used in labs worldwide, and we are expanding its capabilities for industrial applications, including for partners of the EEBio and ARPA-H DARTS programmes. DeLTA tracks cells across microscope images, reconstructs lineages, and extracts cytometry data such as cell length and growth. It has been implemented for post-processing images, but can be repurposed for real-time processing, i.e. when DeLTA is used in a feedback loop with the microscope. The pipeline is written in Python and follows modern software engineering practices, including modular design, unit tests, and continuous integration. This project aims to scale up DeLTA’s development for broader applications, including commercial use. You will be responsible for developing new features, including a Graphical User Interface (GUI), real-time processing capabilities, and a cross-platform installer.

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.
