Oxford Department of International Development The Oxford Department of International Development (ODID) is the focus in the University for post-graduate teaching and advanced research on developing countries and emerging economies, and on their relationship with the rest of the world. ODID is located at Queen Elizabeth House in central Oxford, and is thus often known as “QEH”. The Department is recognized as one of the leading international centers in its field. It was ranked as the top Development Studies department in the country in the UK government’s national assessment of research excellence in both 2008 (Research Assessment Exercise) and 2014 (Research Excellence Framework), with most of its research rated as world-leading and internationally excellent. ODID maintains a world-wide network of scholars and policy researchers in developing countries. The Department has particular strength in the study of Africa, Asia and Latin America. It has close relationships with cognate departments in Oxford, such as Politics and International Relations, Anthropology, Area Studies, Economics and Law. The Department comprises a core of some circa 25 academic staff engaged in teaching and research, together with 71 research staff in five research centres - the Refugee Studies Centre, the Young Lives Study, the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative, the Technology and Industrialisation for Development Centre, the Oxford SDG Impact Lab and the International Growth Centre, which is led by ODID and the Department of Economics, with the LSE. These centres have support from key research partner institutions in developing countries, and engage in extensive policy advisory work for governments, international agencies and civil society organisations. ODID teaches around 260 postgraduate students on doctoral and Masters’ programmes. Students come with outstanding academic track records from all over the world. Degrees offered at ODID include the DPhil in International Development, a DPhil in Migration Studies (based at Anthropology), a two-year MPhil in Development Studies and four one-year MSc courses on Economics for Development, Refugee & Forced Migration Studies, Global Governance & Diplomacy, and Migration Studies. These programmes are researchled, and combine rigorous research methods training with applied thesis work which prepares students for both academic and policy careers. The Department is also home to a considerable number of post-doctoral fellows and academic visitors from a wide range of developing countries. Further information about the Department can be found at https://www.qeh.ox.ac.uk/ and on the courses at https://www.qeh.ox.ac.uk/content/study. At ODID we embrace and cherish our differences, and endeavour to be considerate and welcoming of all. You are most welcome at ODID, without the need to hide any part of who you are. We acknowledge societal inequalities and how these affect us, and those around us, personally and professionally. We hold an Athena Swan bronze award in recognition of our efforts to introduce organisational and cultural changes which promote equality, cherish diversity and create a better working environment for all. We are also taking active steps to promote race equality and reduce the risk of bias and discrimination. We work together to enrich, fortify and grow our community and dedicate our combined efforts to teaching and research to increase our impact and influence in development debates at the national and global level. We encourage all eligible candidates to apply for our vacancies and join us in pursuing our goals. The Oxford School of Global and Area Studies The School is committed to understanding cultural, economic, political and social questions through the study of world regions in local, global and comparative contexts. OSGA delivers world leading, multidisciplinary programmes of teaching and research across Africa, China, Latin America, the Middle East, Japan, Russia and Eastern Europe, and South Asia. Oxford’s School of Global and Area Studies (OSGA) one of the largest communities of Area Studies scholars anywhere in the world. We have research and teaching programmes dedicated to Africa, China, Latin America, the Middle East, Japan, Russia and Eastern Europe, South Asia and Comparative Area Studies. The administration of the School is based at 12 Bevington Road, with colleagues also providing administrative support across a number of locations in which the School’s constituent units are based (including the Nissan Institute of Japanese Studies at St Antony’s College and the University of Oxford China Centre at St Hugh’s College). The School is devoted to research and graduate teaching in academic disciplines which attempt to understand the complexity and the interrelatedness of society through anthropology, economics, politics, history, sociology and culture. Its teaching and research seek to take into account both the insights provided by the separate disciplines and the contextualisation provided by in-depth knowledge of specific regions and countries. Interdisciplinary collaboration to study specific social processes is encouraged, and a distinctive feature of the School is the number of its academic staff who hold joint appointments in the School and a disciplinary department in the Social Sciences or Humanities Divisions. In the most recent national research quality assessment exercise (REF2021), Area Studies at Oxford – comprising staff in the School and the Faculty of Oriental Studies in the Humanities Division - was judged to account for more world-leading (4*) research than any other Area Studies department in the UK.The School admits around 160 graduate students a year on Masters and DPhil programmes, across the African Studies Centre, Latin American Centre, the Nissan Institute of Japanese Studies, Russian and East European Studies, Contemporary South Asia, Contemporary Chinese Studies, Middle East Studies, and the comparative master’s programme in Global and Area Studies. Additionally, the School’s academic staff supervise doctoral students and teach on a range of undergraduate programmes in other parts of the University. The School holds a bronze Athena Swan award to recognise advancement of gender equality: representation, progression and success for all. Further information about the Department can be found at https://www.area-studies.ox.ac.uk/ The Latin American Centre The post-holder will be a member of the Latin American Centre programme. The LAC offers a one-year MSc in Latin American Studies, a two-year MPhil in Latin American Studies and, through OSGA, a DPhil in Area Studies (Latin America), bringing together over 20 students working on the region at a graduate level. The LAC’s masters’ programmes concentrate on the modern history, politics, economics, international relations and environmental geography of the region. The LAC also acts as a hub for the study of Latin America across a wide range of disciplines in the Social Science and the Humanities in Oxford. Visiting academics and visiting doctoral students, from within and outside the United Kingdom, add to a vibrant community of scholars working on a variety of topics of central concern for the region. As a centre for the study of the region, the LAC serves as a venue for debating ongoing research and relevant current affairs. Leading international scholars and key public figures from the region regularly contribute to the LAC’s flagship weekly seminar. The LAC also runs a Brazilian Studies programme, which hosts a yearly conference on Brazil as well as regular academic visitors from Brazil, including a Rio Branco Professor. A History seminar meets once a week; a programme that often includes joint events with other universities in Europe and the Americas. In addition, the LAC hosts a network of graduate students, that convens frequent seminars bringing together masters and doctoral students across the university studying topics related to Latin America from a wide range of disciplines in the social sciences and humanities. The LAC is housed on the premises of St Antony’s College, with which it is closely connected, although students and some members of the academic staff are also members of other Oxford colleges. An important part of the LAC is the Bodleian Latin American Library, located on the ground floor and basement of our building. Its 16,000 volumes, together with journals, microfilms and DVDs, form an important specialist lending collection for those studying Latin American social sciences and history. To find out more about the Latin American Centre Programme, see https://www.lac.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 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 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, seven of our departments have achieved Bronze Athena SWAN Awards: the Blavatnik School of Government, Economics, Education, International Development, Law, Anthropology and Museum Ethnography and the Said Business School. The School of Geography and the Environment now holds an Athena SWAN Silver Award. All our other departments are 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 Masters level programmes such as the Bachelor in Civil Law (BCL), Environmental Change and Management, International Relations, and Social Data Science.
