Epub 2016 Mar 17. PMID: 26996961. The role Missense mutations in the EGF24 to 29 region of Drosophila Notch give rise to distinctive “Abruptex (Ax)” wing phenotypes emphasising the functional importance of this region for receptor function. We are seeking a postdoctoral research associate to use functional assays as well as biophysical investigations to test the importance of specific features of our EGF20-27 structural model for Notch activity, and to interrogate the properties of the region EGF14-20, which itself contains rare Ax mutations. Together with our existing data for EGF4-13, information gained will enable us to understand the extracellular architecture of Notch from EGF4 to EGF27, the role of homo and heterotypic interactions, and give new insights into the molecular basis of activatory and inhibitory Notch complexes at the cell surface. We are based at the Department of Biochemistry, University of Oxford and have access to a wide variety of technologies to facilitate these studies including cutting edge genome editing, microscopy, flow cytometry, proteomics, and biophysical methods (mass spectrometry, CD, NMR, X-ray crystallography).

We are seeking a full-time Postdoctoral Research Assistant to join the Energy and Environmental Informatics Research Group, Oxford e-Research Centre at the Department of Engineering in Central Oxford.  The posts are funded by EPSRC and will be fixed term until 31 March 2022.  

 

The successful candidate will join a collaboration between the universities of Oxford and Strathclyde working on the Analytical Middleware for Informed Distribution Networks (AMIDiNe) project. As power systems move towards a more federated operational model (Distribution System Operator), there is a pressing need for understanding and predicting the behaviour of actors across this increasingly localised model and developing the means of articulating the implications of the demand they place on the network. Through unification of power system modelling and machine learning, AMIDiNe will develop the underlying models that will leverage Smart Meter and enhanced low voltage network monitoring data can predict plausible operating characteristics such as voltage throughout distribution networks that are in alignment with future operating scenarios.    

 

Applicants should hold, or be close to completion (i.e. submitted of thesis) of a PhD/DPhil in engineering, physics, mathematics, or other related area. they should have demonstrable experience in machine learning and data science. The successful candidates will work under Prof David Wallom and will be responsible for the analysis of demand observations as provided on a per Meter Point Administration Number (MPAN) basis to develop understanding of different group behaviours occurring. This will involve the utilisation of supervised and unsupervised machine learning techniques on consumption and non-consumption data streams from smart meters to cluster different behaviours of meters and disaggregated data sets to identify key features that allow us to develop deeper understanding of energy consumption within different MV and LV energy networks.

A, 124, 5389-5401 (2020) The role This post is funded by the EPSRC Programme Grant ‘New Directions in Molecular Scattering: Multiple Pathways and Products’, held jointly by University of Oxford and Heriot-Watt University. This particular post will be based in Oxford, in the group of Prof Stuart Mackenzie and will focus on Reactive Scattering for Catalysis. It will involve close collaboration, including research visits, with Professor Ken McKendrick, Professor Matt Costen, Dr Stuart Greaves and Prof Martin Paterson at Heriot-Watt University as well as Profs Mark Brouard and Claire Vallance in Oxford. The overall Programme Grant is supported by £5.9M funding from EPSRC and aims to dramatically advance the field of molecular collisions, progressing from a core of fundamental, benchmark studies to previously intractable problems that are relevant to real-world — in this case, transition metal-based catalysis. The development of new heterogeneous catalysts at present depends largely on empirical trial and error. Reactive scattering experiments performed on model clusters in the gas-phase offer an opportunity to uncover underlying reaction mechanisms and key active sites, opening the way to a more structured approach to catalyst design. This project will involve development of new molecular beam instruments to study mode-selective chemistry of small molecules with gas-phase transition metal clusters and ionmolecule (metal-ligand) complexes. Reactivity will be studied as a function of cluster size, charge, composition and collision energy, with sensitive mass spectrometric detection. The aims will be to explore new regions of reactive potential energy landscapes as well as couplings between them. The Mackenzie group has strong collaborative links with several European groups (Fielicke, Dopfer in in Berlin and Beyer, Innsbruck) and it is anticipated that the successful applicant will also participate in these projects.

This charter was extended in 2015 to include women in all areas of academia. Job Description and Selection Criteria 153229.docx 5 Research in Chemistry As might be expected for a department of its size, Oxford has world class research across a very broad range of chemistry and at its interfaces with other disciplines. In all areas the department seeks to advance fundamental science and knowledge with the expectation that such advances will lead to a step change of impact in applications and commercial exploitation, as has been demonstrated in many recent instances. Activity can be roughly grouped into a number of broad ‘themes’, although there is much overlap, and many academics work in more than one area. • Chemistry at the interface with biology and medicine • Energy and sustainable Chemistry • Catalysis* • Advanced functional materials and interfaces • Innovative measurement and photon science* • Synthesis • Theory and modelling of complex systems* • Kinetics, dynamics and mechanism* *particularly relevant to this post The Department’s research strategy is to build on strength in these areas, encouraging collaboration that is not limited by sectional or departmental boundaries. Oxford Chemistry collaborates with departments across the University, from Engineering to Geography, from Plant Sciences to Oncology and Cardiovascular Medicine, and with local hospitals and with facilities such as Diamond and MRC Harwell, and has close links with academia and industry in the UK, Europe and the rest of the world. The total value of Oxford Chemistry’s external research grant portfolio is currently in excess of £100m. The main sources of funding include the following: • UK Research Councils (EPSRC, BBSRC, STFC and MRC), • European Research Council (ERC), • Cancer Research UK, • Royal Society, • British Heart Foundation, • Leverhulme Trust, and • NIH. There is also research funding and partnerships with: • the King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST), • AstraZeneca UK, • Johnson Matthey, • GlaxoSmithKline, • BP, • Unilever, • Siemens, • SCG Chemicals (Thailand), • Galapagos SASU, Job Description and Selection Criteria 153229.docx 6 • UCB Celltech, • Eli Lilly, • Pfizer, • Oxford Nanopore Technologies Ltd and • Oxford Medical Diagnostics, among many others. The Department has doctoral training centres in Inorganic Chemistry for Future Manufacturing, Theory and Modelling of Chemical Systems, and Synthesis for Biology and Medicine. Many grants are held in collaboration with researchers from other University departments, including Biochemistry, Physics, Engineering and the Structural Genomics Consortium. The Department seeks to continue to increase and diversify its research income taking advantage of the breadth of such potential income sources for the discipline of Chemistry, and of its potential for very strong interdisciplinary interactions. Chemistry Research and Teaching Facilities Oxford Chemistry occupies three major buildings in the University’s science area, including a modern RIBA award-winning dedicated research facility.

The Departments of Plant Sciences and Zoology are recognised internationally for our research in a wide range of fields spanning all levels from molecules to ecosystems, and tackling fundamental problems in evolutionary ecology, disease biology, evolutionary mechanisms, conservation biology, biodiversity, evolutionary developmental biology, plant biology and animal behaviour. Over time, the research interests of the department have diversified so that much of the research focusses on bacteria, viruses, animal-plant interactions and global biodiversity as well as more traditional models. Research is conducted in all spheres from laboratory and in silico analysis to theoretical and fieldbased research; at all times we seek to reinforce the connections between research and graduate and undergraduate education. The Departments jointly teach the four-year undergraduate degree course in Biology, with fourth-year students doing a Masters-level research project. External research income to the Departments is derived from over 50 different funding agencies, with the principal current funders being the European Research Council, the Royal Society, the Wellcome Trust, BBSRC and NERC. The Departments have a significant track record in enabling the broader societal impact of research, including the provision of policy to government at the highest level, as well as supporting the commercialisation of research through spin-out companies and licensing arrangements that have generated hundreds of millions of pounds’ worth of innovation. 5 The main Departments are located in the University’s Science Area, and will move into a new £200m building in 2024 that will include extensive laboratory provision with controlled environment rooms, glasshouses and an imaging suite. We will share this building with the Department of Experimental Psychology, opening new avenues for collaboration and exploration of the life and mind sciences. The Departments also have extensive facilities the John Krebs Field Station at Wytham (with Wytham Woods nearby). For more information please visit: www.biology.ox.ac.uk The Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences Division The Mathematical, Physical, and Life Sciences (MPLS) Division is one of the four academic divisions of the University. Oxford is widely recognised as one of the world's leading science universities. . The disciplines within the MPLS Division regularly appear at the highest levels in world rankings and have been evaluated as conducting world-leading and internationally excellent research in UK research assessments, and Mathematical, physical and life sciences research at Oxford is the best in the country according to the 2014 Research Excellence Framework (REF) assessment exercise carried out by HEFCE. The MPLS Division is home to the non-medical sciences at Oxford and its 10 departments and 3 interdisciplinary units span the full spectrum of the mathematical, computational, physical, engineering and life sciences, and undertake both fundamental research and cutting-edge applied work. Our research 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 Nobel prizes and prestigious titles such as FRS and FREng) and we have a strong tradition of attracting and nurturing the very best early career researchers who regularly secure prestigious fellowships. The Division is also the proud holder of ten Athena Swan Awards (5 Silver and 5 Bronze) illustrating our commitment to ensure good practice and to encourage women in science at all levels in the division. We have around 6,000 full and part-time students (including approximately 1900 graduate students) and play a major role in training the next generation of leading scientists. Oxford's international reputation for excellence in teaching is reflected in its position at the top of the major league tables and subject assessments. MPLS academics educate students of high academic merit and potential from all over the world. Through a mixture of lectures, practical work and the distinctive college tutorial system, students develop their ability to solve major mathematical, scientific and engineering problems. 6 MPLS is dedicated to bringing the wonder and potential of science to the attention of audiences far beyond the world of academia. We have a strong commitment to supporting public engagement in science through initiatives including the Oxford Sparks portal (www.oxfordsparks.net) and a large variety of outreach activities; these are crucial activities given so many societal and technological issues demand an understanding of the science that underpins them. We also endeavour to bring the potential of our scientific efforts forward for practical and beneficial application to the real world and our desire is to link our best scientific minds with industry and public policy makers.

Job description Overview of the role Ethical, legal, and social aspects of AI have received unprecedented international attention in recent years. Fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in machine learning and AI are now major areas of academic research, development, and policy. Many technical and organisational tools, such as computational methods to explain model outputs, statistical tests for fairness, or algorithmic impact assessments, have been developed to address these challenges. However, the mere existence of such tools is insufficient to ensure trustworthy AI. Little is known about the efficacy of different tools intended to make AI systems trustworthy and accountable, how their utility varies across different use cases and domains, how they can be used incorrectly or maliciously, or how best to motivate ‘buy-in’ among responsible communities of practice. As a result, it remains unclear whether such technical and organisational tools will actually produce machine learning and AI systems that remain trustworthy and accountable over time. The ‘Trustworthiness auditing in AI’ project will address this gap in knowledge by undertaking applied research and developing tools and tests to evaluate the efficacy of existing AI accountability tools. The project will involve intensive multi-disciplinary collaboration across machine learning, philosophy, clinical and social psychology, and law. The post-holder will be responsible for coordinating and delivering a work package focused on interpretability and fairness in machine learning. In particular, in collaboration with Dr Chris Russell, the post-holder will undertake research and develop methods to qualitatively and quantitatively evaluate different types of explanations of model outputs in meeting different audience needs. Additionally, the post-holder will collaborate with Dr Brent Mittelstadt, Prof Sandra Wachter, Dr Chris Russell, Prof Netta Weinstein, and other project researchers from law, philosophy, and psychology to undertake case studies in medicine and open science, and develop a meta-toolkit for trustworthy AI. The post will be part of the Governance of Emerging Technologies (GET) research programme at the Oxford Internet Institute. Responsibilities/duties                Coordinate and deliver a research work package on interpretability and fairness in machine learning. Review relevant literature reporting on interpretability/explanation methods and fairness/bias tests in machine learning. Develop tools and methodologies for evaluating the effectiveness of explanations of model outputs and detecting misleading explanations in practice. Undertake computational modelling on explanations and user responsiveness and develop measures of the stability of explanation methods. Assist in the development of technical components for a meta-toolkit on trustworthiness in AI. Carry out multi-disciplinary collaborative work with colleagues in partner institutions, research groups, other members of the project team, and work package leaders, including collaboration on survey and interview studies on explanation quality. Manage 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 research methodologies and materials. Contribute ideas for new research projects. Lead and collaborate in the preparation of research publications. Collaborate in the preparation of research grants. Present papers at conferences or public meetings.

The OII’s research strategy has targeted areas critical to the public interest, where the design and use of the Internet and related technologies are likely to contribute to a substantial restructuring of social practice and institutional arrangements. Having developed critical mass in these areas, the OII’s strategy for the next five years is geared towards deepening and extending the range of grant-funded research around each theme and disseminating the outputs in highquality journals, while ensuring that research helps inform and shape policy and practice. Research at the OII focuses on 8 research clusters:  Connectivity, Inclusion & Inequality: understanding the shifts in the power dynamics caused by information and communication technologies.  Digital Knowledge and Culture: charting the on-going digital transformations of the sciences, social sciences, arts and humanities, and their implications.  Digital Politics & Government: investigating political behaviour, digital government and government-citizen interactions in the age of the internet, social media and big data.  Education, Well-Being and Digital Life: addressing the psychological, social and educational implications of the Internet, for people of all ages, across the full lifespan, with a particular focus on children and young people.  Ethics and Philosophy of Information: investigating the ethical, epistemological, logical and ontological aspects of information, its sciences, phenomena and dynamics.  Internet Economics: understanding the economic and social implications of new business models, new market structures, and new types of economic activity.  Information Governance & Security: analysing the challenges created by the digitisation of information, seeking solutions through new governance rules, processes and institutions, and investigating the relationship between emerging technologies, their design, and information security and privacy.  Social Data Science: seeking a quantitative understanding of how individuals behave and interact in society. In all its research, the OII aims to operate at the cutting edge in both quantitative and qualitative methodologies that cut across disciplines and topics. Methodological innovation is vital given the changing nature of the Internet and advances in ICTs which both necessitate and facilitate the development of new techniques. OII researchers are developing methodologies such as the embedding of ICTs for real time observation of social phenomenon; webmetric techniques for observing the underlying structure of the web presence of social institutions; artificial intelligence design; experimental research; on-line action research; content analysis; investigation of virtual environments; and online survey research.

Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences The 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 the prevention, early diagnosis and management of common illness. Our research is led by internationally renowned scientists; many of whom are practising GPs, but we also have academics from a range of non-medical disciplines including the social sciences and humanities. We cover the broad range of issues that you might expect to consult your GP about 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, utilising big data, developing digital health interventions and working internationally. We have methodological expertise in clinical decision making and diagnostics, clinical epidemiology, medical statistics, modelling, qualitative research and the wider application of social science theory and methods to address practical and theoretical challenges in health and care settings. We also have a dedicated in-house Primary Care Clinical Trials Unit. The department was established in October 1998 (as the Department of Primary Health Care) with the appointment of a foundation chair in general practice. 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. The department has recently developed a new stream of clinical research which seeks to improve the conceptual understanding and use of monitoring in a number of chronic diseases. We have an international reputation for developing research methodologies to ensure that research findings have a positive impact on clinical practice. We are home to the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine; the international Cochrane Tobacco Addiction Group which collates and summarises research evidence from across the world to underpin governmental health policies on smoking; 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).

Grade and salary Grade 6: £29,614 - £35,326 per annum Hours Full time (37.5 hours per week) Contract type Fixed-term until 31 March 2022, funded by the Wellcome Trust Reporting to Professor Tatjana Sauka-Spengler Vacancy reference 153335 The role Based in the Gene Regulatory Networks in Development and Disease group led by Professor Tatjana Sauka-Spengler (https://www.rdm.ox.ac.uk/people/tatjan-sauka-spengler), you will be working with a group of talented postdocs and graduate students on deciphering how cells make cell fate decisions on a global scale. The exciting programme will address the epigenetic control of early multipotency and the transcriptional control of binary lineage decisions, thus shedding further light on how the cells progress from a naïve multipotent state to the cell fate lineage restriction in several cellular systems. You will provide the research support for computational and molecular aspects of the project and will be responsible for carrying out a range of biochemical and cell biological procedures, as well as assisting with experimental zebrafish work. A range of different wet lab techniques will be used including epigenomics, transcriptomics, CRISPR/Cas9 technology, multiplex in situ hybridization chain reaction, immunofluorescence microscopy, microinjection of zebrafish embryos, and cell sorting. The post is ideally suited for a candidate with an interest in developing a career that involves working at the interface of Developmental Biology and Genomics. The post holder is expected to have a high level of commitment to work and extraordinary organizational skills. Overview of project: Central question of developmental biology is how single cell gives rise to a complex multicellular organism. That question itself being very complex, Sauka-Spengler lab tackles it using the neural crest system. Neural crest cells are a type of stem cells that give rise to many different derivatives ranging from neurons and glia in the peripheral nervous system, to all pigment cells in the body or cartilage and bone cells in the face. NC cells undergo a series of sequential developmental events starting with their induction at the neural plate border going onto neural tube closure when they are specified within the dorsal part of the central nervous system to their migration into the periphery along well prescribed pathways. After they migrate, they differentiate into many different derivatives and so they are an excellent system for studying developmental cell-fate decisions. To undergo these processes, the cell needs to orchestrate expression of some 20,000 genes, and execute a complex gene regulatory network comprising of epigenetic changes, signalling inputs and transcription factor hierarchies. Because resolving the complete GRN is beyond the scope of a single laboratory, this project aims to elucidate the general principles of how such networks are elaborated by focussing on a key transcription factor FoxD3, which is one of the earliest specific factors expressed in NC progenitors and a critically important player at many steps during NC ontogeny. Surprisingly, in contrast to its known role as a transcriptional repressor which defines certain neural crest lineages, at the onset of NC programme FoxD3 acts as a positive epigenetic regulator, priming the chromatin landscape, allowing neural crest specification genes to be activated. The project will tackle two separate questions – 1) how is the NC specification “ground state”, enabling NC multipotency, established at the early NC induction/specification stages at the chromatin level and 2) how are specific NC developmental trajectories and fates defined at the later migratory/differentiation stages at the transcriptional level. Responsibilities The post holder will be expected to organize and perform the following laboratory procedures and general duties: • • • • • • • • • • • Analyse genomics data using Python and R-based computational protocols and pipelines Manage own research and administrative activities, within guidelines provided by senior colleagues.

The School of Archaeology The School - the main units of which are the Institute of Archaeology and the Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art - is made up of three main research and teaching groups: prehistoric archaeology, classical and historical archaeology, and science-based archaeology. Oxford is one of few places in the world where these three aspects of archaeology exist within the same School, something that we see as a key strength and distinguishing feature. Research in the School concentrates on the last 10,000 years; we seek, however, to set these developments against a longer-term record of environmental, biological and climatic change. In the study of historic periods -- the Bronze and Iron Age Aegean, classical Greece and Rome, the Byzantine world and early Medieval Europe -- research focuses on combining archaeological and written evidence, as well as on the study of material culture, using approaches which range from the scientific analysis of pottery, glass and metal, to those which relate more closely to art history and anthropology. The School is based across several buildings in the centre of Oxford, including the Institute of Archaeology in Beaumont Street, 1-2 South Parks Road and the Dyson Perrins building in the Science area. Further information about the School of Archaeology, its component units, its staff, courses and research activities can be found on its website at www.arch.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 Dame Sarah Whatmore, 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, five of our departments have achieved bronze Athena SWAN awards: Economics, Law, Geography & the Environment, Anthropology & Museum Ethnography, Saïd Business School and the Blavatnik School of Government, 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 4 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. For more information please visit: https://www.socsci.ox.ac.uk/ Linacre College There are 39 self-governing and independent colleges at Oxford, giving both academic staff and students the benefits of belonging to a small, interdisciplinary community as well as to a large, 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. Linacre is a vibrant and progressive post-graduate College of Oxford University. The College has more than 550 students all of whom have completed a first degree and are now studying for an advanced qualification. Linacre's prime objective is to provide high quality support, both intellectual and social, for its Fellows and graduate students. There are some 50 Fellows, the majority of whom are Professors, Readers, and Lecturers in a wide range of University Faculties. The Fellowship includes some of Oxford's most distinguished scholars. About half the student body is from overseas, representing over 50 countries; and spread across all four academic divisions of the University. The College has 19 administrative staff, three chefs and large catering and housekeeping teams. The College was founded in 1962 to provide a community for Oxford’s growing number of international postgraduate students. It was named after Thomas Linacre, a distinguished Oxford humanist and medical scientist of the early 16th Century, whose breadth of learning symbolised the new College's multi-disciplinary purpose and ideal. In 1986 the College received its Royal Charter and is now a fully independent, self-governing, registered charity. The College is governed by its Fellows and student representatives. The College Principal has overall management responsibility for the College and its staff. He is supported by a senior management team consisting of the Vice Principal, Senior Tutor, Bursar and the Director of Development. Linacre is among the least well-endowed of the Oxford Colleges. Linacre was the first College in Oxford to accept both men and women on an equal basis for all post-graduate degrees. It is unusual among Oxford Colleges in having no senior common room. The Fellows, staff and students share the same facilities and eat together in the dining hall in order to cultivate an egalitarian academic community. The College is family-friendly and has a strong environmental ethos. Drawing on its current academic strengths, Linacre is making a particular contribution to the support and promotion of environmental studies in the University. In 1990 the College established a major series of public lectures on environmental issues, the Linacre Lectures; and it has close links with the University's Environmental Change Institute. The College is the Oxford host of the Tanner Lectures on Human Values, a lecture series held at nine of the World’s leading universities. The College is housed in fine buildings, most of which were purpose-built, on St Cross Road, surrounded on three sides by parks and playing fields, in a convenient location on the edge of the University Science Area and within easy reach of all the main University Departments and Libraries. The College has a number of modern teaching and seminar rooms, a well-equipped gym and small but exquisite gardens. 5 The College is a busy academic community throughout the year. Unlike undergraduates, graduate students remain in residence for almost the entire year. The College has only two brief periods a year when the dining room and administrative offices are closed. Fellows are expected to co-operate in the running of the College. The main commitment is to attend meetings of the Governing Body which normally meets three times each term. All members of the Governing Body are trustees of the College and must comply with relevant trustee legislation. There are also various standing committees of the Governing Body which require members, but this commitment is not arduous. There are no teaching duties but all Fellows are expected to act as College Advisors to up to ten students to help them with any personal as well as academic problems which they may encounter. Additional information about Linacre is available on the College’s website www.linacre.ox.ac.uk. About the University of Oxford Oxford’s departments and colleges aim to lead the world in research and education for the benefit of society both in the UK and globally. Oxford’s researchers engage with academic, commercial and cultural partners across the world to stimulate high-quality research and enable innovation through a broad range of social, policy and economic impacts. Oxford’s self-governing community of international scholars includes Professors, Associate Professors, other college tutors, senior and junior research fellows and over 2,500 other University research staff. Research at Oxford combines disciplinary depth with an increasing focus on inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary activities addressing a rich and diverse range of issues. The current strategic plan can be found at http://www.ox.ac.uk/about/organisation/strategic-plan-2018-23. Oxford’s strengths lie both in empowering individuals and teams to address fundamental questions of global significance, and in providing all staff with a welcoming and inclusive workplace that supports everyone to develop and do their best work. Recognising that diversity is a great strength, and vital for innovation and creativity, Oxford aspires to build a truly inclusive community which values and respects every individual’s unique contribution. While Oxford has long traditions of scholarship, it is also forward-looking, creative and cutting-edge. Oxford is one of Europe's most entrepreneurial universities.

Oxford is also recognised as a leading supporter of social enterprise. Oxford admits undergraduate students with the intellectual potential to benefit fully from the small group learning to which Oxford is deeply committed. Meeting in small groups with their tutor, undergraduates are exposed to rigorous scholarly challenge and learn to develop their critical thinking, their ability to articulate their views with clarity, and their personal and intellectual confidence. They receive a high level of personal attention from leading academics. Oxford has a strong postgraduate student body which now numbers over 10,000. Postgraduates are attracted to Oxford by the international standing of the faculty, by the rigorous intellectual training on offer, by the excellent research and laboratory facilities available, and by the resources of the museums and libraries, including one of the world’s greatest libraries, the Bodleian.

For more information, please visit www.ox.ac.uk/about/organisation. The Department of Biology You will be joining us at an exciting time: just a few months before the Departments of Zoology and Plant Sciences merge to form a new Department of Biology, and two to three years before we move into a major new building dedicated to the science of life and mind. The Departments of Plant Sciences and Zoology are recognised internationally for our research in a wide range of fields spanning all levels from molecules to ecosystems, and tackling fundamental problems in evolutionary ecology, disease biology, evolutionary mechanisms, conservation biology, biodiversity, evolutionary developmental biology, plant biology and animal behaviour. Over time, the research interests of the department have diversified so that much of the research focusses on bacteria, viruses, animal-plant interactions and global biodiversity as well as more traditional models. Research is conducted in all spheres from laboratory and in silico analysis to theoretical and fieldbased research; at all times we seek to reinforce the connections between research and graduate and undergraduate education. The Departments jointly teach the four-year undergraduate degree course in Biology, with fourth-year students doing a Masters-level research project. External research income to the Departments is derived from over 50 different funding agencies, with the principal current funders being the European Research Council, the Royal Society, the Wellcome Trust, BBSRC and NERC. The Departments have a significant track record in enabling the broader societal impact of research, including the provision of policy to government at the highest level, as well as supporting the commercialisation of research through spin-out companies and licensing arrangements that have generated hundreds of millions of pounds’ worth of innovation.

Grade and salary In addition, for appropriately qualified candidates, a market supplement may be payable up to a total maximum salary of £75,000. Hours Full time Contract type Fixed-term for 2 years in the first instance, renewable subject to funding. Reporting to Seb Bacon, Chief Technical Officer Vacancy reference BZ21073 (HRIS 153167) Additional information We envisage a longer-term need for this post as the group grows and builds up its portfolio, but initially can only appoint based on funding currently available The role The DataLab We are the DataLab, at the University of Oxford, led by Dr Ben Goldacre. This is a career-defining opportunity to lead product development of OpenSAFELY, a revolutionary open source platform for secure clinical research. Conceived at the start of the COVID19 crisis, this has already been used to produce ground-breaking research using an unprecedented volume of patient data. Our research has been published in high profile journals such as Nature, and won praise from media outlets like The Economist, and patient advocacy groups like medConfidential. About us We are a small, productive, ambitious, very fast-moving team of software developers, academics, and clinicians, all pooling skills and knowledge to build platforms and tools as well as traditional academic papers. Our work is influential: it features in high-profile mainstream media stories, drives the agenda at parliamentary committees, is regularly referenced in SAGE meetings, and is published in a wide range of very high impact journals. We provide analytic services to NHS England, run a Policy Insights think tank, and run a number of highimpact web services, such as OpenPrescribing. We are currently focussing on building OpenSAFELY: an innovative, open source research environment which places patient privacy first. You can read a summary of press coverage on the OpenSAFELY website. We don’t just produce papers and tools; we advocate for better use of software, including our campaign for all researcher to share their code. About OpenSAFELY OpenSAFELY aims to make secure, reproducible clinical analytics the norm, by making best-practice easy and enjoyable. We are pioneering new approaches to safely accessing sensitive and globally-important clinical datasets. The OpenSAFELY website articulates our vision in depth; the documentation is the best place to learn how users initially interact with the platform. Technically speaking, the framework has a distributed architecture, based on a secure, docker-based execution environment and scheduler implemented using Python, Docker, and SQLite. This component is deployed within the existing, secure infrastructures of the original data processors such as TPP and EMIS. Users develop against dummy data in a local sandbox using developer tooling, and make requests for execution against real data via a public, auditable task queue. Authentication and authorisation is currently delegated to our GitHub organisation, where all research code repositories must be stored and tested. We are also developing an innovative clinical coding authoring and validation suite called OpenCodelists. In the future, we plan to develop further standalone tools to improve the rigour and reproducibility of clinical research, for example around privacy, and “synthetic” data. The final core element in our roadmap is community development: we aim to create a vibrant, global open science community around the framework. We are securely funded to accelerate the development of OpenSAFELY for several years, into a mature, privacyenhancing research platform that is deployed globally. Purpose of the post The purpose of the post is to play a lead role in the development of the OpenSAFELY platform, and the fastgrowing engineering team.

We are recruiting a PDRA to work on the detection of exoplanets in the presence of stellar activity using the radial velocity method. These posts are part of a new 5-year project supported by the European Research Council (ERC) and led by Prof Suzanne Aigrain.

 

The successful candidate will work with Prof Aigrain and other members of her group, on the ongoing development of novel methods to extract and model high-precision stellar radial velocities, and to disentangle between stellar activity and planetary signals. Using extensive archival datasets as a test-bed, we aim to refine these methods to the level where they enable us to detect habitable planets around nearby, Sun-like stars, then apply them to a major forthcoming survey, the Terra Hunting Experiment (THE), which is expected to begin in 2021.

 

Applicants should possess, or be close to obtaining a PhD in astrophysics or a related field. Previous experience in the field of Gaussian process regression applied to stellar activity and/or exoplanet detection will be an advantage. Candidates are expected to demonstrate the ability to carry out specific research projects independently, while working constructively within a larger team. The post-holder will have the opportunity to teach.

Taylor Vacancy reference 153191 Additional information Closing date – midday on 15 October 2021 Research topic Plasmon-enhanced light emission from hybrid nanowires: towards electrically driven nanowire lasers Principal Investigator / supervisor Prof Robert A. Taylor Project team Quantum Optoelectronics Group, Condensed Matter Physics, University of Oxford Project web site www.physics.ox.ac.uk Funding partner The funds supporting this research project are provided by EPSRC The role A Postdoctoral Research Assistant position is available for a period of 33 months at the University of Oxford working on a new EPSRC funded project entitled “Plasmon-enhanced light emission from hybrid nanowires: towards electrically driven nanowire lasers”. The post will be based in the sub-department of Condensed Matter Physics and will report to Professor Robert Taylor. The aim of the project is to address a critical challenge in nanotechnology – the bottom-up synthesis of single core-shell nanowires involving both noble metals and semiconductors and to explore their potential for lasing by electrical injection. These hybrid nanowires will combine the strong light absorption of noble metals (by surface plasmon resonance) with the versatile optical properties of semiconductors to deliver significantly enhanced light emission yield and will offer new possibilities for developing on-chip nanophotonic devices. Key to this research is the helium droplet technology that allows core-shell nanowires to be grown atom-by-atom and layer-by-layer in a cold superfluid along one-dimensional quantized vortex lines, overcoming the major difficulty in conventional synthetic methods associated with the non-wetting between metals and semiconductors. Through a multidisciplinary collaboration, principally between Oxford Physics and the Department of Chemistry at Leicester University, we will establish the scientific foundation that can potentially transform our new nanoscience discoveries into technological innovations in optical sensors, photovoltaics, electrical injection nanowire lasers and components in quantum computers. The growth aspects of the project will take place in Leicester. This PDRA position will involve time-integrated and time-resolved micro-PL spectroscopy of the nanowires, and work on contacting the nanowires using e-beam and photo-lithography and measuring their optoelectronic properties. Responsibilities  Undertake the research activities described in the Project Description of work and as requested by your Supervisor.  Use specialist scientific equipment in a laboratory environment, including mode-locked Class 4 lasers, time-correlated photon counting systems and helium cryostats.  Work with nanolithography tools and electron microscopes in a clean room environment.  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 directions.  Represent the research group at external meetings/seminars, either with other members of the group or alone.  Collaborate in the preparation of scientific reports and journal articles with other group members and external collaborators.  Prepare project deliverables and reports with other group members and external collaborators Nanowire Optics PDRA JD 2  Act as a source of information and advice to other members of the group on scientific protocols and experimental techniques.  If asked to by your supervisor, take responsibility for specific equipment and laboratory infrastructure, including equipment and software maintenance, to enable the smooth running of the laboratory.  The post-holder will have the opportunity to teach.

The project will bring together diverse creative-arts, digital and health experts to investigate how adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) can affect adolescents' mental health with the aim of developing new approaches to prevention and care. Children who suffer multiple ACEs which include abuse, neglect, loss events, poverty, discrimination, racism, and relational problems at home are much more likely to develop multiple social and developmental problems, including mental health disorders as young adults. We do not fully understand what makes an adolescent vulnerable to, or protected from, mental health problems following ACEs nor how to best protect and support affected young people, many of whom struggle to find and engage with care services.

Founded in 1996, the School is a young, vibrant, and innovative business school that is deeply embedded in an 800-year-old world-class university. The School educates people for successful business careers, and as a community we seek to use our business acumen and global network to address long-horizon phenomena like demographic change, new technologies, and natural resource scarcity. We deliver cutting-edge education and ground-breaking research that transforms individuals, organisations, business practice, and society. We seek to be a world-class business school community, embedded in a world-class university, tackling world-scale problems. For more information please visit www.sbs.ox.ac.uk. Research at Saïd Business School Since its inception, the School has promoted a stimulating research environment and now has several major research centres and research groups. The School has been moving rapidly to create a major research capability that will establish it as one of the leading research-focused business schools in the world. The principle behind the development of research in the Business School is that it intertwines management functions with practice and policy. The School is organized around three academic areas (i.e. teaching and research groups), four research centres and five research initiatives. Many colleagues benefit substantially from the approach of embeddedness, engaging with colleagues from other parts of Oxford in formal and informal research collaborations. Saïd Business School Research Mission and Research Strategy The School’s research mission is for the Saïd Business School to be a world-class, influential, and vibrant research community that conducts, publishes, and widely disseminates academic research that is: 1. Of the highest quality in terms of academic rigour; 2. Imaginative and innovative, looking to the future; and 3. Meaningfully relevant to, and enhances, business practice and the geopolitical and social landscapes in which business operates. We strive for our research to be academically excellent (e.g., published in the top-tier business journals, such as those listed on the FT50 and ABS4* lists), innovative and future-oriented, and relevant to (and ideally impactful on) the world outside of academia (especially business practitioners and/or public policymakers). Also, consistent with the School’s mission, we strive for our research to meaningfully address world-scale problems. Presently, based on publication activity in recent years, the existing areas of strength in research for the School are: • Complex organisations and systems, covering areas such as scenario planning, megaprojects, and systems change; • Digital transformation, covering areas such as finance, marketing, operations, organisational behaviour, and strategy; • Entrepreneurship and innovation; • Finance, financial markets, financial institutions, private equity, and taxation; • Leadership, corporate governance, and professional services; and • Social impact, responsible business, sustainable development, and the environment. The School is proud of these areas of research strength and will continue to foster work in these areas that continues to align with the School’s research strategy. In addition to these areas of existing research strength, the School has identified several additional areas as priority research areas to develop. They are: • Accountability of and trust in business and institutions, including the financial industry, central banks, multinational corporations, and governments, with considerations extending beyond traditional business outcomes (e.g., financial performance, investor returns) to include societal concerns (e.g., environmental impact, social impact) and new ways of measuring and accounting for impact; • Artificial intelligence, algorithms, data science, and machine learning applications to business and their implications for consumers, employees, leaders, and society; • Emerging technologies, such as fintech, blockchain, and augmented/virtual reality, with a focus on impacts on consumers, employees, leaders, and society; • Emerging societal issues that arise due to macro-factors such as climate change, cybersecurity, diversity, privacy, politics, shifting demographics, and automation—and the associated business and leadership challenges; • Healthcare, including with respect to issues pertinent to leadership, operations, data, and patient management; • Senior executive leadership and boards, including with respect to issues pertinent to corporate governance, diversity, corporate reputation, and strategy; and • Sustainable development, especially issues aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Teaching at Saïd Business School At Oxford, many undergraduate degree programmes are joint with other disciplines. For example, the School offers a three-year undergraduate degree in Economics and Management. After a compulsory first year, students are provided with a wide range of possible combinations of Economics and Management subjects. About 80 students per annum are now admitted on to this programme, which is one of the most popular in Oxford and the most selective undergraduate programme at Oxbridge. The School introduced an MBA programme in 1996. This is a one-year programme spanning a full 12-month period from the beginning of October until the end of September. The MBA provides a solid grounding in the major business disciplines and core business skills, as well as integrative material, such as our award-winning Global Opportunities and Threats: Oxford (GOTO) core requirement. Other degree programmes offered by the School include an MSc in Financial Economics together with the Department of Economics, an MSc in Major Programme Management, and an MSc in Law and Finance together with the Faculty of Law. The School has a doctoral (DPhil) programme, with approximately fifty doctoral students, each with one or two supervisors, spread across all academic areas of the school. DPhil students take either a management or finance track. Finally, the School has well-established executive education activities which are integral to its activities. Open and custom programmes offer individuals and organisations access to innovative teaching, and cutting-edge, internationally-relevant research, and a focus on personal development. The School is highly regarded for the quality of its executive education programmes. Faculty, particularly senior members, play a key role in the design and delivery of these programmes, which are increasingly delivered in international locations. Premises and facilities of the Saïd Business School Saïd Business School is one of the most modern, purpose-built business schools in the world, designed by the leading architectural practice, Dixon Jones. Facilities include four state-ofthe-art horseshoe style lecture theatres, a 300-seat theatre (opened by Nelson Mandela in 2002) to cater for larger scale lectures and a wealth of social spaces. Thatcher Business Education Centre, completed in the summer of 2012, has also been designed by Dixon Jones and houses Executive Education activities, along with a second site at Egrove Park, where much of its executive education is currently delivered. The School has an extensive and modern high-speed IT network. The School has created the magnificent purpose-built Sainsbury library to support all management teaching and research. It has access to strong research collections and databases through the University Library Service. 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 Dame Sarah Whatmore, 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, five of our departments have achieved bronze Athena SWAN awards: Economics, Law, Geography & the Environment, Anthropology & Museum Ethnography, Saïd Business School and the Blavatnik School of Government, 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 professionallyoriented 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.

Meeting in small groups with their tutor, undergraduates are exposed to rigorous scholarly challenge and learn to develop their critical thinking, their ability to articulate their views with clarity, and their personal and intellectual confidence. They receive a high level of personal attention from leading academics. Oxford has a strong postgraduate student body which now numbers over 10,000. Postgraduates are attracted to Oxford by the international standing of the faculty, by the rigorous intellectual training on offer, by the excellent research and laboratory facilities available, and by the resources of the museums and libraries, including one of the world’s greatest libraries, the Bodleian. For more information please visit www.ox.ac.uk/about/organisation. 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 academic divisions are responsible for academic oversight of the teaching and research of their constituent departments and faculties, for strategic and operational planning, and for personnel and resource management. The Head of the Social Sciences Division is Professor Sarah Whatmore, who is a member of the University’s Council. The Social Sciences Division is a world-leading centre of research and education in the social sciences. The social sciences at Oxford are distinctive for both their depth and breadth, with activity spanning fourteen departments and faculties and one cross-divisional unit. (These are as follows: Law, the Saïd Business School, Economics, Politics and International Relations, the Blavatnik School of Government, the School of Anthropology and Museum Ethnography, International Development, Sociology, Social Policy and Intervention, the Oxford Internet Institute, Archaeology, the Oxford School of Global and Area Studies, Education, the School of Geography and the Environment and the Oxford Martin School.) Interdisciplinary links within and beyond the university are strong, extending to the humanities, natural sciences, and medical sciences. Academic and research staff and research students are engaged in world-leading research that challenges current ideas and theories and is tackling some of the major challenges facing humanity, such as sustainable resource management, migration, governance, poverty and development, and justice. REF 2014 confirmed Oxford as the UK powerhouse for research in the social sciences, where Oxford accounted for more world-leading (4*) research than any other institution, across the social sciences units of assessment to which it made submissions. The division has an extensive portfolio of external funders and collaborators, with competitively-awarded external research income exceeding £40million per year. Researchers in the division engage actively beyond academia and their research has influence in many spheres from innovation in public policymaking to practitioner communities such as law, business, education, social welfare and NGOs. The division also delivers an exceptional range of high quality educational programmes (undergraduate, postgraduate taught and postgraduate research), all of which are underpinned by the innovative research being undertaken by our academics. Programmes range from those at the interface of the natural sciences, through to 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); the BCL; the MPhils in International Relations, in Economics, and in Development Studies; the MBA and EMBA; and the nationally regarded PGCE.

Founded in 1996, the School is a young, vibrant, and innovative business school that is deeply embedded in an 800-year-old world-class university. The School educates people for successful business careers, and as a community we seek to use our business acumen and global network to address long-horizon phenomena like demographic change, new technologies, and natural resource scarcity. We deliver cutting-edge education and ground-breaking research that transforms individuals, organisations, business practice, and society. We seek to be a world-class business school community, embedded in a world-class university, tackling world-scale problems. For more information please visit www.sbs.ox.ac.uk Research at Saïd Business School Since its inception, the School has promoted a stimulating research environment and now has several major research centres and research groups. The School has been moving rapidly to create a major research capability that will establish it as one of the leading research-focused business schools in the world. The principle behind the development of research in the Business School is that it intertwines management functions with practice and policy. The School is organized around three academic areas (i.e. teaching and research groups) and six research centres. Many colleagues benefit substantially from the approach of embeddedness, engaging with colleagues from other parts of Oxford in formal and informal research collaborations. Saïd Business School Research Mission and Research Strategy The School’s research mission is for the Saïd Business School to be a world-class, influential, and vibrant research community that conducts, publishes, and widely disseminates academic research that is: 1. Of the highest quality in terms of academic rigor; 2. Imaginative and innovative, looking to the future; and 3. Meaningfully relevant to, and enhances, business practice and the geopolitical and social landscapes in which business operates. We strive for our research to be academically excellent (e.g., published in the top-tier business journals, such as those listed on the FT50 and ABS4* lists), innovative and future-oriented, and relevant to (and ideally impactful on) the world outside of academia (especially business practitioners and/or public policymakers). Also, consistent with the School’s mission, we strive for our research to meaningfully address world-scale problems. Presently, based on publication activity in recent years, the existing areas of strength in research for the School are: • Complex organisations and systems, covering areas such as scenario planning, megaprojects, and systems change; • Digital transformation, covering areas such as finance, marketing, operations, organisational behaviour, and strategy; • Entrepreneurship and innovation; • Finance, financial markets, financial institutions, private equity, and taxation; • Leadership, corporate governance, and professional services; and • Social impact, responsible business, sustainable development, and the environment. The School is proud of these areas of research strength and will continue to foster work in these areas that continues to align with the School’s research strategy. In addition to these areas of existing research strength, the School has identified several additional areas as priority research areas to develop. They are: • Accountability of and trust in business and institutions, including the financial industry, central banks, multinational corporations, and governments, with considerations extending beyond traditional business outcomes (e.g., financial performance, investor returns) to include societal concerns (e.g., environmental impact, social impact) and new ways of measuring and accounting for impact; • Artificial intelligence, algorithms, data science, and machine learning applications to business and their implications for consumers, employees, leaders, and society; • Emerging technologies, such as fintech, blockchain, and augmented/virtual reality, with a focus on impacts on consumers, employees, leaders, and society; • Emerging societal issues that arise due to macro-factors such as climate change, cybersecurity, diversity, privacy, politics, shifting demographics, and automation—and the associated business and leadership challenges; • Healthcare, including with respect to issues pertinent to leadership, operations, data, and patient management; • Senior executive leadership and boards, including with respect to issues pertinent to corporate governance, diversity, corporate reputation, and strategy; and Sustainable development, especially issues aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Teaching at Saïd Business School At Oxford, many undergraduate degree programmes are joint with other disciplines. For example, the School offers a three-year undergraduate degree in Economics and Management. After a compulsory first year, students are provided with a wide range of possible combinations of Economics and Management subjects. About 80 students per annum are now admitted on to this programme, which is one of the most popular in Oxford and the most selective undergraduate programme at Oxbridge. The School introduced an MBA programme in 1996. This is a one-year programme spanning a full 12-month period from the beginning of October until the end of September. The MBA provides a solid grounding in the major business disciplines and core business skills, as well as integrative material, such as our award-winning Global Opportunities and Threats: Oxford (GOTO) core requirement. Other degree programmes offered by the School include an MSc in Financial Economics together with the Department of Economics, an MSc in Major Programme Management, and an MSc in Law and Finance together with the Faculty of Law. The School has a doctoral (DPhil) programme, with approximately fifty doctoral students, each with one or two supervisors, spread across all academic areas of the school. DPhil students take either a management or finance track. Finally, the School has well-established executive education activities which are integral to its activities. Open and custom programmes offer individuals and organisations access to innovative teaching, and cutting-edge, internationally-relevant research, and a focus on personal development. The School is highly regarded for the quality of its executive education programmes. Faculty, particularly senior members, play a key role in the design and delivery of these programmes, which are increasingly delivered in international locations.

It began operation in May and is funded for 4.5 years by a £6.1m UKRI grant. Reaching our national and global climate goals will require not only the reduction of emissions of greenhouse gases, but also the scaling up of a range of techniques that take greenhouse gases back out of the atmosphere permanently (Greenhouse Gas Removal, or GGR). To meet this need, UKRI has launched a £31.5m GGR programme which includes CO2RE and five demonstration projects around the UK. CO2RE will conduct cross-cutting research on the environmental, economic, social, cultural, ethical, legal and governance issues around GGR. We will also co-ordinate across the programme (linking to the demonstrators), connect to other relevant programmes nationally and internationally, and commission grants through a flexible fund. Led by the Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment, CO2RE includes co-investigators at the Universities of Oxford, Bristol, Edinburgh, Leeds, London (Imperial College and University College) and Manchester. The Principal Investigator is Prof Cameron Hepburn and the Hub will be directed by Dr Steve Smith. CO2RE has three overarching objectives: • Supportive policies: Providing a portfolio of robust, implementable and equitable options for policy and governance, supporting bankable business models for sustainable GGR deployment to help achieve UK net zero emissions by 2050. • Scalable technologies: Developing a coherent evaluation framework for the demonstrators and other GGRs, covering lifecycle assessment, economic costs, environmental impact, governance and social perceptions. Accelerating development of promising, globally scalable options and sifting out ineffective ones. Enhanced capacity: Building a GGR research & innovation community by linking initiatives • within the Programme and with other national and international programmes. Leveraging additional funding to deliver legacy activities. Developing transparent and robust decisionsupport processes for key stakeholders and champions to shape and use GGR to achieve net zero. The Role The CO2RE programme is seeking to recruit a postdoctoral research assistant (PDRA) to investigate the socioeconomic and ecological (including biodiversity) outcomes of different pathways to achieving net zero in the UK focussing on but not limited to five UK demonstrator projects. The PDRA will blend empirical data with simulation modelling, working very closely with the demonstrator project teams. The research will aim to understand the timeframes and spatial scales over which the different, largely biological approaches to GGR can enhance carbon stores and reduce GHG emissions, whilst also supporting above and below ground biodiversity, human adaptation to climate change and food security. 2 To robustly assess sustainability criteria for all GGR options, the PDRA will work with other CO2RE team members to define a set of social and ecological criteria in the context of UK landscapes based on i) existing criteria, ii) feedback from local and national stakeholders during workshops and visits to demonstrator sites, and iii) by systematically reviewing existing grey and peer-reviewed literature on the efficacy and broader social- ecological outcomes of land-based and other GGR approaches. They will ensure coherent evaluation of the Demonstrators against these criteria and seek to fill priority evidence gaps. In tandem, to develop a systems view of GGR scale-up that fully accounts for broader outcomes, the PDRA integrate social-ecological criteria using the FABLE-UK calculator and will explore models to account for international trade in food, biomass and minerals. Using this systems approach, they will quantitatively assess GGR deployment in the UK under a set of scenarios in line with the analysis of policy options and business models generated by other team members. They will then test our findings with stakeholders to develop policy insights and tools for practitioners. These insights and tools will be used to create a new, expanded section of the policy and evidence platforms) focussed on UK land-based GGR. The work conducted by the PDRA will contribute to the development of targets for inclusion in the Nationally Determined Contributions as these are revised to increase climate ambition through successive global stocktakes, as well as to ongoing processes involving the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Sustainable Development Goals and Environmental Land Management (ELM) under Defra’s 25 Year Environment Plan. The focus will be targets and indicators for GGR that support both adaptation to and mitigation of climate change, as well as targets that enable policy cohesion between UNFCCC and the CBD. The PDRA will also input into government road maps for scaling up NbS in the UK and will help develop investor guidelines on value and limits of working with nature to support net zero pathways. The post holder will be based in the Nature-based Solutions Initiative (NbSI, Department of Zoology), but will work as part of a large team of natural, social and physical scientists based in the School of Geography, as part of both the CO2RE and Oxford Net Zero teams, as well as colleagues in Bristol. Achieving impact with this initiative will involve engagement with NGOs, industry and regulators, and the public. Building on existing funding and consortia, the Fellow will help to establish a stakeholder forum where knowledge can be exchanged, and best practices carried forward. Outreach and scientific communication will be delivered through public lectures, video/documentaries web material and popular science publications Responsibilities • Definition and completion of social and ecological criteria to fit within CO2RE’s overall evaluation framework for GGR approaches. • Develop hypothesis-driven research questions and carry out state-of-the-art research within the broad area of GGR and net-zero, running scenario models and collecting, collating and analysing detailed and complex qualitative and/or quantitative data from a variety of primary and secondary sources • Develop and implement new research methodologies and materials to support the assessment of GGR approaches 3 • Publish findings in high quality peer-reviewed journals and present papers at major national and international conferences, and lead seminars to disseminate research findings • Contribute to synthesis reports, policy business, government guidance, and the UK NbS policy platform • Agree clear task objectives, organise, and delegate work to other members of the team and coach other members of the group on specialist methodologies or procedures • Share responsibility for shaping the research group’s plans and the writing of group-funding applications for new research projects • Represent CO2RE at external meetings/seminars, either with other members of the group or alone • Carry out collaborative projects with colleagues in partner institutions, and research groups • Contribute to developing a vibrant network of CO2RE careers researchers, and join regular CO2RE team meetings and events • Manage own academic research and administrative activities.
