"""**About the Blavatnik School of Government** Our vision is of a world better led, a world better served and a world better governed. We are a global school committed to improving the quality of government and public policymaking worldwide, through three routes: **teaching** **current and future leaders** ; **generating** **research with impact** ; and **engaging** **with governments and practitioners**. **What we offer** The School is a collaborative, friendly, and dynamic department based in an award-winning building in Oxford. We host regular events and talks with well- known guest speakers – all of which are open to staff. On the social side, we have regular coffee/cake mornings for staff, a family-friendly Halloween event, and Christmas and summer parties.

Foundations runs in Michaelmas term (October - December). The aim of Foundations is to prepare students to reflectively and critically evaluate the moral commitments that do, and should, inform public policy. The course addresses some key questions that every government must resolve. It focuses on the following five framework questions: What is the aim of government? What are the limits on its action? What do governments owe future generations? Who gets what? and Who decides? The course also develops students’ philosophical and ethical understanding through practical reflection on some policy areas that engage these questions and are of contemporary concern. These include gender, religion, migration, historical injustice, and protest and revolution. In closing, we explore some of the moral dilemmas that arise for individuals who deliver public policy. Case studies ensure that moral and political principles are applied practically. As a Teaching Associate, you would be expected to: serve as a Seminar Leader; take a lead role with respect to organisation of seminars; contribute to assessment; assist the module convenors with administration. There may also be opportunities to undertake a small amount of lecturing and case study teaching. While primary teaching on the Foundations module occurs in Michaelmas term, other Teaching Associate duties may be spread out over the full academic year. This post if fixed-term for one year and on a variable hours basis. **About you** You should hold a relevant Master’s degree in political philosophy/political theory and sufficient depth and breadth of knowledge in political philosophy to develop module materials. Experience and excellence in teaching and leading seminars, and the ability to teach to non specialists are also essential. **Application Process** Please upload a supporting statement that outlines how you meet the selection criteria in your own words, along with your CV and the details of two referees as part of your online application. The closing date for applications is at **12 noon (UK time) on Thursday 15 May 2025**. """ . "false"^^ . "Executive Director, Oxford Programme for Cyber and Technology Policy" . . . "page" . """JOINT HEAD OF FINANCE (job share) Candidate Pack Spring 2025 INTRODUCTION FROM OUR COO Thank you for your interest in this role at the Blavatnik School of Government. This is an exciting opportunity to join the School and contribute to our vision of a world better led, better served and better governed. You will be joining a community of staff and students driven by public purpose. You will be using your financial experience to provide insight and advice that helps the School deliver its research, teaching and engagement. We are looking for candidates with the drive and tenacity to make a difference, excited to be part of the Blavatnik School and Oxford University, and committed to a job-share role. We welcome qualified candidates from all backgrounds. We strive for excellence in all that we do, bringing together people from diverse disciplines and backgrounds to contribute their best. We will provide opportunities and support to get to know and be part of the Blavatnik School and the wider University, and enjoy the opportunities for development that they provide. If you share our vision and commitment, and are excited to use your experience in this new joint Head of Finance role, we would be delighted to hear from you. You can find more information on the Blavatnik School of Government’s website. ABOUT THE BLAVATNIK SCHOOL OF GOVERNMENT At the Blavatnik School of Government, our vision is of a world better led, better served and better governed. In an increasingly polarised world, this goal has never felt more urgent. We pursue it through research, teaching, and engagement that is led by the needs of governments and the people they serve. Our approach is characterised by optimism: we look at what works, wherever success is found, and try to help countries learn from other countries. This approach is global - we believe exceptionally so. Our community of staff, students, alumni and policymakers stretches to at least 130 countries, and to the highest levels of public leadership. We bring rigorous research to the big challenges facing governments; and we teach, convene and partner with the people who will grapple with them, today and in the future. The three pillars of our work are: Teaching Our competitive Master of Public Policy (MPP), MSc in Public Policy Research, and Doctorate in Public Policy attract brilliant and innovative minds, coming from over 50 different countries in any given year, and from a spectrum of professional and disciplinary backgrounds. Our degree programmes have a distinct focus on making a difference in the real world through collaborating with others, and on deeply considered values and ethics. Over 1,000 alumni across well over 100 countries are improving the lives of citizens in their own communities, as elected politicians (including government ministers), senior government officials, humanitarians, social entrepreneurs, diplomats, educators, conservationists and more. We also run a suite of executive programmes that engage people already at the top of the public sector. Research In our research, just as in our teaching, we focus on what governments need – whether improving education, reducing corruption, managing a pandemic, or preventing armed conflict. Our faculty are driven to make a difference in the real world, not just in their academic discipline – though thanks to their brilliance, they usually do both, with their research often attracting the most prestigious grants, and their findings appearing in top-level journals as well as in government policies. Engagement We use our convening power to bring people together – across disciplines, sectors, countries and ideologies – to share knowledge and ideas, and to help forge cooperative solutions that create lasting change. In a world in which many people are shouting rather than listening, we create spaces for leaders to seek common purpose – particularly with those whom they disagree with most fiercely. From our executive programmes to our events and seminars; from our fellowships bringing practitioners into our community to the formal advisory positions many of our faculty hold in government; we seek to build and strengthen bridges into policymaking – and bridges between policymakers. Our success relies on our people. Whatever their role, every single member of our School shares a commitment to a world better led, served and governed. We seek candidates not just with relevant experience, but with the drive and tenacity to help make change. At the Blavatnik School of Government you can expect a working environment characterised by zeal and driven by purpose. The Blavatnik School of Government sits within the Social Sciences Division.

The divisions are responsible for academic strategy and operational planning, oversight of the teaching and research of their constituent departments and faculties, and for personnel and resource management. The social sciences at Oxford are distinctive for both their depth and breadth, with over 1,100 academic and research staff working across fifteen departments, faculties and schools. The Head of the Social Sciences Division is Professor Timothy Power. The Division is a world-leading centre of research and education in the social sciences. The Times Higher Education (THE) University Rankings returned the University of Oxford to the number one spot in the world for Social Sciences in 2024. We have placed first in four of the last five years (2019, 2021, 2022 & 2023). More than 800 researchers were returned to Main Panel C (Social Sciences) for REF 2021 across a diverse range of subject area ‘units of assessment’ – from geography and business to archaeology and law. Over 55% of the research submitted from the Division was judged to be world-leading (4*, the highest score available). More than two-thirds (69%) of the research’s impact was also recognised as world-leading (4*). Research from across the Division was also submitted to subject areas across Panels A (Medicine, health and life sciences), B (Physical sciences, engineering and mathematics), and D (Arts and Humanities), highlighting the enormous breadth and diversity of research expertise across the Division. Our academic and research staff and students are international thought leaders, generating new evidence, insights and policy tools with which to address some of the major global challenges facing humanity, such as sustainable resource management, poverty and forced migration, effective governance and justice. Particular research highlights in recent years have included COVID-19 and Climate Change.

About the role

 

The Blavatnik School of Government is seeking to recruit a Teaching Associate to join the teaching team for the compulsory Foundations module within the Master in Public Policy (MPP). Foundations runs in Michaelmas term (October - December).

 

The aim of Foundations is to prepare students to reflectively and critically evaluate the moral commitments that do, and should, inform public policy. The course addresses some key questions that every government must resolve. It focuses on the following five framework questions: What is the aim of government? What are the limits on its action? What do governments owe future generations? Who gets what? and Who decides? The course also develops students’ philosophical and ethical understanding through practical reflection on some policy areas that engage these questions and are of contemporary concern. These include gender, religion, migration, historical injustice,  and protest and revolution. In closing, we explore some of the moral dilemmas that arise for individuals who deliver public policy. Case studies ensure that moral and political principles are applied practically.

 

As a Teaching Associate, you would be expected to: serve as a Seminar Leader; take a lead role with respect to organisation of seminars; contribute to assessment; assist the module convenors with administration. There may also be opportunities to undertake a small amount of lecturing and case study teaching. While primary teaching on the Foundations module occurs in Michaelmas term, other Teaching Associate duties may be spread out over the full academic year.

 

This post if fixed-term for one year and on a variable hours basis.

 

About you

 

You should hold a relevant Master’s degree in political philosophy/political theory and sufficient depth and breadth of knowledge in political philosophy to develop module materials. Experience and excellence in teaching and leading seminars, and the ability to teach to non specialists are also essential.

 

Application Process

 

Please upload a supporting statement that outlines how you meet the selection criteria in your own words, along with your CV and the details of two referees as part of your online application.

Reporting to Dr Rupert Stuart-Smith, Senior Research Associate in Climate Science and the Law, the postholder will be a computationally proficient scientist who will work on attribution and projections of climate change impacts on human health, with particular focus on climate change hotspots in southern Africa, the Andes, and southern Europe. Working within a multidisciplinary research group at the University of Oxford, the postholder will conduct scientific research that refines existing methods, sheds light on the impacts of climate change in understudied regions, and informs adaptation and legal responses to climate change impacts.

 

This research will include analyses of the effects of climate change on existing and future impacts (attribution and projections). In particular, the project will examine the contribution of individual emitters of greenhouse gases to the health impacts of climate change, the impact of different future emissions pathways (including those that temporarily overshoot the Paris Agreement’s temperature goal) on health, evaluating the applicability of different methods for conducting attribution studies, and the development of policy-relevant health indicators.

 

The successful candidate will primarily conduct analyses of the meteorological impacts of climate change but gain opportunities to work with interdisciplinary methods such as epidemiological and agricultural models. They will join a vibrant and growing research environment that builds on the University of Oxford’s expertise in climate science, attribution science, and interdisciplinary research at the interface of climate change science and law.

 

This post is fixed-term until 29 February 2028 and offered on a full-time basis.

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. Recently, the School secured funding from the Wellcome Trust Institutional Strategic Support Fund and the University of Oxford to re-equip the Henry Wellcome Ancient Biomolecules Centre. 178667 Degree Courses and Operations Assistant_final 3 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. The School of Archaeology holds a bronze Athena Swan award to recognise advancement of gender equality: representation, progression and success for all. The Social Sciences Division The School of Archaeology is a department in the Social Sciences Division, one of four academic divisions in the University, each with considerable devolved budgetary and financial authority; and responsibility for providing a broad strategic focus across its constituent disciplines. Thirteen departments, one faculty, and two cross-divisional research units come under the aegis of the division, which spans the full range of social science disciplines with links into the humanities and physical sciences. There are over 700 academic staff, 2,700 graduate students (postgraduate taught and postgraduate research), and 1,900 undergraduates working and studying in the division. The division is established as a world-leading centre for research in the social sciences and regularly sits at the highest levels of international league tables of one form or another. It is the largest grouping of social science disciplines in the UK and it is also home to several of Oxford’s most widely recognised teaching programmes, such as PPE, the BCL, the MPhils in International Relations, in Economics, and in Development Studies, and the nationally regarded PGCE. We believe that excellence in teaching and research is synergistic and remain committed to sustaining and developing the high quality of our activities in both these areas. Our departments are committed to research which develops a greater understanding of all aspects of society, from the impact of political, legal and economic systems on social and economic welfare to human rights and security. That research is disseminated through innovative graduate programmes and enhances undergraduate courses. For more information please visit: www.socsci.ox.ac.uk.

The Blavatnik School of Government Our vision is of a world better led, a world better served and a world better governed. We are a global school committed to improving the quality of government and public policymaking worldwide, through three routes: teaching current and future leaders; applied research; and engagement with government and practitioners. The Blavatnik School of Government is a global school pursuing a vision of a world better led, better served and better governed. The School was founded in 2010 by our founding dean is Professor Ngaire Woods with an initial £75 million donation by American philanthropist Sir Leonard Blavatnik. Uniquely, the School is anchored across all four of the academic divisions of the University: the social sciences; humanities; mathematics, physical and life sciences; and medical sciences. The School's goal is to improve the quality of government and public policy-making worldwide, so that citizens can enjoy more secure and more fulfilled lives. It is pursuing this goal through: • • • Teaching transformative programmes that combine deep expertise with analytical thinking and practical skills. Research which is fiercely independent, rigorous, and applied, and addresses urgent policy challenges, often in collaboration with others. Engagement with leaders in governments, in public services, and in multilateral institutions which forges networks that enable policy leaders to learn from each other as well as from scholars, and collaboratively to generate solutions and to share best practice. Teaching programmes The School has four education programmes: The Master of Public Policy (MPP) is an intensive one-year graduate degree, taking a broad view of how public policy is made, implemented and evaluated at local, regional and global levels. The School actively seeks out the smartest, most impactful future and current practitioners from every region of the world and builds a strong, purposeful community among them 5 The MSc in Public Policy Research (MSc) provides an additional year of study to those who have completed the components of the MPP, who learn how to conduct robust, applied and impactful research that can inform public policy-making – whether by clarifying the nature, extent and cause of major policy problems or by developing evidence-based strategies for their mitigation. The Doctorate in Public Policy (DPhil) is a full-time three-year applied research degree. The School seeks scholars keen to pursue academically rigorous applied research on a public policy issue. The School's executive programmes, workshops, and fellows' programmes offer opportunities for senior professionals and policymakers to access cutting edge research, to reflect on their own experience, and to develop a community of practice with peers from other countries. For further details, visit http://www.bsg.ox.ac.uk/study Research Programmes The School is continuing to appoint outstanding scholars who are leading dynamic research programmes in areas including: economic growth and resilience; governance, democracy, cooperation and law; health, education, welfare and well-being; science, technology, climate change and public policy; security and conflict. The School also draws on extensive intellectual networks both within Oxford and internationally to ensure it keeps at the cutting edge of inter-disciplinary and global knowledge and on cross-sector partnerships with individuals and organisations to remain practiceoriented and solution-focused. The School recognises that there are many different forms of leadership, a range of views about democracy, and diverse cultures in which people operate. Equally, there is a variety of methods and disciplines which can be used to interrogate challenges of government. That is why the research in the School spans the local to the global, and several disciplines, in terms of the types of challenges addressed and the ways that in which they are approached. The School's research reaches practitioners in a number of ways, for example: • The School's academics regularly advise governments and agencies on how to address their policy challenges. • The School's Policy Memo series aims to provide clear, succinct and timely recommendations for policymakers in the UK and internationally. • The School shares latest research, opinions and insights of its academics with wide audiences through features and comments in the press, as well as its social media streams. • Students are active and engaged in efforts to connect with other Oxford students, alumni, practitioners and others far beyond the Blavatnik School, as they seek to bring about positive change in their fields of interest. • The School holds a wide range of events that allow the sharing and exchange of knowledge with specialist audiences and the wider public. For example, the “Improving Governance, Delivering Better Education” conference, hosted by the School, brings together academics, policymakers, and donors working in the field of education, as well as experts from other sectors.

The course addresses some key questions that every government must resolve. It focuses on the following five framework questions: What is the aim of government? What are the limits on its action? What do governments owe future generations? Who gets what? and Who decides? The course also develops students’ philosophical and ethical understanding through practical reflection on some policy areas that engage these questions and are of contemporary concern. These include gender, religion, migration, historical injustice, and protest and revolution. In closing, we explore some of the moral dilemmas that arise for individuals who deliver public policy. Case studies ensure that moral and political principles are applied practically.

For example, this framework demonstrates that fluctuations in expectations – driven by cognitive mechanisms – can account for phenomena such as volatility and return predictability in financial markets, without requiring exogenous shocks to risk aversion. Current projects explore how cognitive mechanisms interact with standard economic forces such as information provision, incentives, and regulation. The research employs big data, quasi-experimental methods, and surveys to trace the links between past experiences, features of the environment – both relevant (like incentives) and irrelevant ones – and choice.

About the role

 

We’re excited to be looking for a Senior Executive Assistant to our Chief Operating Officer (COO) and to the Vice-Dean. 

 

This is a critical role for the Blavatnik School, sitting at the heart of the School – in the Executive Office – with responsibility for all support to the COO and the Vice-Dean, and for the operations of the School’s governance function. This post comes at an exciting time for School: we are embarking on our second decade with a fantastic community of staff, alumni, and supporters.

 

We are seeking someone with excellent interpersonal and organisational skills. In your work with the COO and Vice Dean, you will be responsible for managing two busy diaries (and the COO’s inbox) and taking forward a wide range of issues on their behaves. You will be someone with a zest for communicating with people from all walks of life, who will inject equal amounts of enthusiasm and diplomacy into each of their interactions – be they with students, administrative colleagues, or senior academics and practitioners from top institutions across the world. In your work on School governance, you will have operational responsibility for the smooth-running of the School’s governance function – to include scheduling the annual governance meeting cycle, writing and collating agendas and discussion papers, and tracking actions and decisions.

 

About you

 

The ideal candidate will have excellent all-round administrative skills and strong track-record of providing outstanding executive support. You will be a senior member of the Executive Office, line managing two to three staff (Executive Assistants) and working with the Head of the Dean’s Office to promote a high-performing team culture in which the people you manage can flourish. You will work quickly yet meticulously, taking a flexible and pragmatic approach to shifting priorities; and you will have impeccable judgement – be it on a confidential project on which the COO is working, an urgent meeting request, a difficult staffing matter, or an innovative interpretation of a policy.

 

If you believe that you have the energy and experience to make a positive impact on our Executive Office – we would love to hear from you.

 

Application process

 

Please upload a supporting statement that outlines how you meet the selection criteria in your own words, along with your CV and the details of two referees as part of your online application.

 

The closing date for applications is at 12 noon (UK time) on Tuesday 6 May 2025.

 

Interviews will take place during week commencing 12 May with second round interviews taking place during week commencing 19 May and will be face to face at the School.

OSGA delivers world leading, multi-disciplinary 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. Further information about the OSGA, its component units, its staff, courses and research activities can be found on its website at www.area-studies.ox.ac.uk 6 The African Studies Centre Oxford University’s African Studies Centre is one of the world’s leading centres of African Studies. Though the history of the study of Africa in Oxford preceded the founding of the Centre in 2004, the Centre has since become the focal point for graduate level work and faculty research on Africa in Oxford. Alongside a vibrant doctoral programme, the MSc in African Studies, inaugurated in 2005, is already recognised as one of Europe's most prestigious and most successful training programme in the field. The Centre has trained graduate students who are now holding important positions in different spheres of social, economic, cultural and political life in Africa and the rest of the world. With particular strengths in the Social Sciences and the Humanities, the Centre enjoys a reputation for high quality, relevant research that plays a leading role in academic debates as well as public policy. Apart from hosting and working with regional study groups and running frequent workshops and conferences to disseminate research findings and publicise topical issues, the Centre runs a weekly seminar on Thursdays where scholars and postdoctoral researchers in Oxford and from different parts of the world present their work. The Centre also regularly hosts prominent African statesmen, leaders, entrepreneurs, social activists, intellectuals, thinkers, scholars, writers, artistes, and others who are interested in Africa and African affairs. Members of the Centre are affiliated to and teach in other faculties/departments in the university including Politics and International Relations, Social and Cultural Anthropology and History. St Anne's College There are 39 self-governing and independent colleges at Oxford and six Permanent Private Halls, 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 divisions are responsible for academic strategy and operational planning, oversight of the teaching and research of their constituent departments and faculties, and for personnel and resource management. The social sciences at Oxford are distinctive for both their depth and breadth, with over 1,100 academic and research staff working across fifteen departments, faculties and schools. The Head of the Social Sciences Division is Professor Timothy Power. The Division is a world-leading centre of research and education in the social sciences. The Times Higher Education (THE) University Rankings returned the University of Oxford to the number one spot in the world for Social Sciences in 2024. We have placed first in four of the last five years (2019, 2021, 2022 & 2023). More than 800 researchers were returned to Main Panel C (Social Sciences) for REF 2021 across a diverse range of subject area ‘units of assessment’ – from geography and business to archaeology and law. Over 55% of the research submitted from the Division was judged to be world-leading (4*, the highest score available). More than two-thirds (69%) of the research’s impact was also recognised as world-leading (4*). Research from across the Division was also submitted to subject areas across Panels A (Medicine, health and life sciences), B (Physical sciences, engineering and mathematics), and D (Arts and Humanities), highlighting the enormous breadth and diversity of research expertise across the Division. Our academic and research staff and students are international thought leaders, generating new evidence, insights and policy tools with which to address some of the major global challenges facing humanity, such as sustainable resource management, poverty and forced migration, effective governance and justice. Particular research highlights in recent years have included COVID-19 and Climate Change. As well as active interdisciplinary links with researchers in other divisions at Oxford, we engage and collaborate extensively with other universities and a wide range of governmental and non-governmental practitioner communities such as law, business, public health and welfare, international development and education around the world. The Division has an extensive portfolio of external funders, partners and supporters, with competitively-awarded external research income exceeding £50 million per year and philanthropic income over £25 million a year. As part of our commitment to equality of opportunity, thirteen of our departments have achieved Bronze awards under the Athena Swan Charter (a UK accreditation scheme recognising organisations’ commitment to equality and diversity, particularly in gender). Our School of Geography and the Environment holds an Athena Swan Silver award. In February 2023, for the first time, the University as a whole was awarded an institutional Athena Swan Silver award, acknowledging the progress that has been made in addressing a number of gender gaps across the University over the last five years. The Division delivers an exceptional range of high-quality educational programmes all underpinned by the innovative research being undertaken by our academics. The student body is made up of over 2,000 undergraduate students, nearly 3,000 students studying postgraduate taught programmes and 1,200 postgraduate research students. The programmes we offer are wide-ranging, often interdisciplinary and include professionally-oriented provision in areas such as business, law and education. The Division is home to several of Oxford’s most widely recognised teaching programmes, such as Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) at undergraduate level; and at the Masters level programmes such as the Bachelor in Civil Law (BCL), Environmental Change and Management, International Relations, and Social Data Science.

About the role

This is a postdoctoral position on the Digital Gender Gaps project led by Professor Ridhi Kashyap and supported by the Gates Foundation. We are recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to advance scientific understanding and inform policy on the impacts of digital expansion on gender equality and women’s social and economic opportunities. The post holder will develop research using computational, statistical and social data science approaches to expand knowledge on gender inequalities in digital connectivity, as well as the impacts of digital gender inequalities on social, demographic, and economic domains in low and middle-income countries, with a particular focus on Africa and South Asia.

 

The post holder will be responsible for developing and maintaining existing data infrastructures as well as developing methodologies to collect and integrate novel sources of web, social media, and geospatial data with secondary survey datasets for analysing gender inequalities. The post holder’s research areas will include: (1) creation of real-time indicators of digital connectivity by gender at granular spatial resolution using social media, population and survey datasets, and statistical and machine learning approaches; and/or (2) analysis of the social and demographic impacts of digital expansion, especially from a gender perspective, using quasi-experimental methods. The research outputs from the project will inform knowledge exchange with various stakeholders for generating an evidence-base for policy, and the post holder will also directly contribute to these impact and partnership building activities. 

 

The post holder will report directly to PI, Professor Ridhi Kashyap, and work together within an interdisciplinary research project involving social and computational scientists. The post holder will also be embedded within an interdisciplinary research environment within the Department of Sociology and affiliated also with the Leverhulme Centre for Demographic Science.

 

The post is fixed-term for a period of up to 24 months, commencing as soon as possible and preferably by July 2025, but with some flexibility.

The School of Geography and the Environment is committed to promoting a culture of equality, diversity, and inclusion in the workplace, including the undertaking of appropriate training as opportunities arise and/or when asked to do so Research topic Coordinating corporate net zero standards reforms to include the role of professional services providers Principal Investigator / supervisor Alexis McGivern Project team Oxford Net Zero: world-leading research enabling effective climate action to halt global warming Project web site netzeroclimate.org Funding partner The funds supporting this research project are provided by the European Climate Foundation. The role Reporting to Professor Samuel Fankhauser and under the supervision of Alexis McGivern, Head of Stakeholder Engagement at Oxford Net Zero. The post holder will be a member of the Oxford Net Zero research group, with responsibility for leading work on our engagement with professional services providers and other businesses. We are looking for an entrepreneurially minded individual, interested in and able to straddle rigorous academic research with practitioner engagement, with the ultimate aim of advancing professional service providers’ ability to more meaningfully contribute to a global transition to net zero. We are looking for someone to play a critical, founding role for a new & time-limited initiative. The postholder will establish a Secretariat body to coordinate the implementation of recent guidance for professional services providers across several practitioner groups & will also work to embed guidance on professional services firms within corporate net zero standards. We are looking for a passionate individual who is willing to work deftly at pace while diplomatically coordinating multiple different stakeholders. Context Professional services providers (PSPs), namely advertisers, law firms, management consultancy firms, among others, play an important role in accelerating or delaying our collective path to global net zero. While their operational emissions are low, the advice of PSPs can significantly influence their clients’ actions, as they are trusted intermediaries of strategic advice. As such, this considerable influence can translate to measurable differences in emissions across the real economy. This influence was investigated by the Race to Zero and Oxford Net Zero in 2023 through the Professional Service Providers Working Group, co-chaired by Alexis McGivern and Ranjita Rajan from the University of Oxford. This group built on relevant precedents from financed and advertised emissions. This influence across PSPs, also known as ‘serviced emissions’, relates to the additional or avoided “emissions arising from or impacted by client activities that are informed and/or enabled by the advice and/or services of a professional service provider.” This could include, inter alia, difference in materials and energy consumption resulting from design choices made by a technical advisor (architect, engineer, designer), the uplift or drop in emissions as a result of increased sales/consumption of a product or related behaviour change as a result of an advertising campaign, or progress against sectoral transitions (e.g., a new low carbon plant opening vs continued investment in existing fossil based assets and technologies) following strategic advice provided to an industry player. Despite this important role that advisory roles play in setting strategy, the frameworks for measuring emissions and reporting on progress towards decarbonisation, do not yet recognize the impact of this influence. Out of 37 standards and voluntary initiatives assessed by Oxford Net Zero, only Race to Zero mentions this node of influence as part of good ‘net zero’ practice for corporates. 2025-2026 is a critical moment for standards, with many key standards and voluntary guidance (the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, the Science Based Targets Initiative) undergoing revision and with the development of the first ever fully auditable standard (the ISO Net Zero Standard). We are looking for a highly motivated, organised and passionate individual to work on the uptake and implementation of these Race to Zero principles, especially focusing on integration of these ideas into the standards being updated in mid-2025 and 2026. You will work alongside a large community of NGO partners to define the standards-relevant language, which builds on and takes account of learning from the successful early implementation of the principles by leading actors, and work alongside standards partners and technical experts to integrate this language into the key standards. 179106 - Serviced Emissions & Engagement Manager - Job Description and Person Specification 2 Responsibilities ● Work to create and manage relationships with key professional services providers. Produce a working report the barriers and opportunities of integrating “serviced emissions” into PSP’s sustainability practices ● Map and manage the landscape of NGO partners working on “serviced emissions”, facilitating knowledge sharing between them and gathering their input on a workable definition for standards, ensuring this takes account of operational best practices from early adopters of existing principles. Build support from NGOs for the inclusion of serviced emission in standards ● Generate a workable, standards-relevant definition of ‘serviced emissions’ by summer 2025 (driven by external factors including major standards revision timelines), and support/lead efforts to ensure this is integrated into relevant standards development processes. ● Arrange meetings and consultations with practitioner partners to a) pull in best practice examples of the implementation of the “serviced emissions” concept and b) validate the standards-relevant definition, as above ● Conduct research with key practitioners to understand nodes of influence for clients to demand ‘serviced emissions’ data and action from PSPs ● Manage own academic research and administrative activities, including a small team of research assistants. ● Plan and manage different work strands and engagement of project stakeholders and meet deadlines ● Adapt existing and develop new research methodologies and materials as it relates to measuring and acting on the emissions enabled by professional services providers ● Prepare working theories on “serviced emissions” uptake and analyse qualitative and/or quantitative data from a variety of sources, reviewing and refining theories as appropriate ● Contribute ideas for new research projects and campaigns ● Develop ideas for generating further research income, and present detailed research proposals to senior researchers ● Collaborate in the preparation of research publications, and book chapters ● Present papers at conferences, public meetings and practitioner forums. ● Act as a source of information and advice to other members of the group on engagement with professional services firms ● Represent the research group at external meetings, especially with business stakeholders, either with other members of the group or alone ● Carry out collaborative projects with colleagues in partner institutions, especially NGO partners Selection criteria Essential selection criteria 1. Hold a relevant PhD/DPhil, or other equivalent experience 2.

Experience of actively collaborating in the development of research articles for publication. The Oxford Net Zero Initiative Oxford Net Zero draws on the University’s world-leading expertise in climate science and policy. Addressing the critical issue of how to reach global ‘net zero’ and halt global warming, it brings together leading academics from across the University’s disciplines, including Geography, Physics, Economics, Biology, Anthropology, Law and Earth Sciences. The initiative provides actionable research and new resources for policymakers and businesses at this critical juncture for international action on climate change. Essential questions that Oxford Net Zero is addressing include: ● How will carbon dioxide be distributed between the atmosphere, oceans, biosphere and lithosphere? ● Where will it be stored, in what forms, how stable will these storage pools be, who will own them, maintain them, and be accountable for them over the short, medium and long terms? ● How does net zero policy extend to other greenhouse gases? ● How will the social license to generate, emit, capture, transport, and store carbon dioxide evolve over the coming century? ● How can companies and governments credibly, and in a legally enforceable manner, commit to net zero? The Programme is co-led by Research Director Professor Sam Fankhauser and Executive Director Dr Steve Smith. It is supported by a £2.2 million investment from the University’s Strategic Research Fund, which aims to develop transformative new research programmes.

The Head of the Social Sciences Division is Professor Timothy Power, who is a member of the University’s Council.The Social Sciences Division is a world-leading centre of research and education in the social sciences. The social sciences at Oxford are distinctive for both their depth and breadth, with activity spanning fourteen departments and faculties and one cross-divisional unit. (These are as follows: Law, the Saïd Business School, Economics, Politics and International Relations, the Blavatnik School of Government, the School of Anthropology and Museum Ethnography, International Development, Sociology, Social Policy and Intervention, the Oxford Internet Institute, Archaeology, the School of Interdisciplinary Area Studies, Education, the School of Geography and the Environment and the Oxford Martin School.) Interdisciplinary links within and beyond the university are strong, extending to the humanities, natural sciences, and medical sciences. Academic and research staff and research students are engaged in world-leading research that challenges current ideas and theories and is tackling some of the major challenges facing humanity, such as sustainable resource management, migration, governance, poverty and development, and justice. REF 2014 confirmed Oxford as the UK powerhouse for research in the social sciences, where Oxford accounted for more world-leading (4*) research than any other institution, across the social sciences units of assessment to which it made submissions. The division has an extensive portfolio of external funders and collaborators, with competitively-awarded external research income exceeding £40million per year. Researchers in the division engage actively beyond academia and 179106 - Serviced Emissions & Engagement Manager - Job Description and Person Specification 7 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.

The vision is to build a platform for research helping to catalyse the scale-up of proven development interventions – cash transfers in particular – to reach millions of people living in poverty. The centre will work with partner organisations, including governments, international organisations, and the NGO GiveDirectly. There are several large-scale randomized controlled trials and data collections – on the direct and general equilibrium impacts of cash transfers and social protection, including in the context of refugees – in the field or in preparation, in Malawi, Rwanda, and Ethiopia. The research centre will manage these evaluations, including relationship management with partner organisations and governments, designing the core evaluation strategy and large-scale data collections. Given the scale of these challenges, no research team can answer all questions alone. The vision therefore is to build an Open Access interdisciplinary research eco-system to broaden the methodological approach and crowd-in scholarship by others, including assembling a high-profile advisory board, collaborating with additional investigators, providing access to data collection infrastructure and sites for field visits, sampling frames, the ability to add survey modules, etc. We will particularly engage local universities to build capacity in partner countries and establish scholarships to support Sub-Saharan African researchers at all levels.

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 179266 - Research Manager 6 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 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.

About the Bonavero Institute of Human Rights & Modern Slavery and Human Rights Policy and Evidence Centre (the PEC) The Bonavero Institute of Human Rights is one of a group of three research centres in the UK that are partners (alongside University of Liverpool and Hull) in the Modern Slavery and Human Rights Policy and Evidence Centre (the Modern Slavery PEC), led by the Humanities Division at the University of Oxford. The Modern Slavery PEC has been established to transform the effectiveness of laws and policies designed to eradicate modern slavery by producing, mobilising and commissioning the highest quality collaborative research. The establishment of the Modern Slavery PEC was in a context of the apparently inexorable rise in the number of people worldwide who are subjected to forms of slavery, servitude or extreme exploitation. The Bonavero Institute was a partner in the first phase of funding and operation of the PEC which ran to 31st March 2024. The continuation phase of the Modern Slavery PEC collaborative research partnership, in which the Bonavero Institute is again a partner, is hosted by the Humanities Division within the University of Oxford, and is funded and actively supported by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) for a period a further three years (1st April 2024 to 31st March 2027). The Bonavero Institute considers that the work of the Modern Slavery PEC is of profound national and global significance for developing effective policy, properly informed by human rights standards, in this field. In particular, the Bonavero Institute will enrich the Modern Slavery PEC by providing the human rights expertise which will be crucial to the more explicitly human rights-based focus of the PEC's vision. Consequently, the Bonavero Institute will focus on human rights as they relate to modern slavery and will continue to ensure that the human rights approach is one of the central cross-cutting themes in the Modern Slavery PEC’s work. It is the declared intention of the Modern Slavery PEC to develop a human rights-based approach to addressing modern slavery and human trafficking. Putting the needs and interests of the people who are, or might become, affected by modern slavery at the heart of legal and policy. Each member of the PEC collaborative research partnership has appointed a Co-Investigator with a responsibility to lead the programme of work and to supervise the PEC Postdoctoral Researcher on the project. The Bonavero Institute of Human Rights is working with the PEC on the programme of work: “Labour Exploitation: New Frontiers in International and the UK Law”. This work will seek to develop a conceptual and analytical framework on the notion of labour exploitation to shape and influence the law, policy, and practice across several domains (human rights law, labour law, criminal law, immigration law, supply chain regulation and international trade policy) by exploring the issues such as: • the evolution of the meaning of ‘labour exploitation’ and its relationship with the notions of ‘forced labour’, ‘slavery’ and ‘human trafficking’ throughout history. Postdoctoral Researcher - Modern Slavery and Human Rights, Policy & Evidence Centre (PEC) 4 • • • • the relevance of and the interplay between civil and political rights and socio-economic rights in governing states’ responses to labour exploitation. the coherence of the current responses to labour exploitation in the UK’s employment law, criminal law, business and supply chain regulation, and international trade law. the impact of immigration regulation on labour exploitation and how breaches of immigration law affect an individual’s entitlement to labour (and human) rights protection. regulation of global supply chains and the role of non-state actors in tackling labour exploitation (businesses, trade unions, civil society) with the particular focus on the concept of ‘human rights due diligence’.

There are over 700 academic staff, 2,700 graduate students (postgraduate taught and postgraduate research), and 1900 undergraduates working and studying in the division. The division is established as a world-leading centre for research in the social sciences and regularly sits at the highest levels of international league tables of one form or another. It is the largest grouping of social science disciplines in the UK and it is also home to several of Oxford’s most widely recognised teaching programmes, such as PPE, the BCL, the MPhils in International Relations, in Economics, and in Development Studies, and the nationally regarded PGCE. We believe that excellence in teaching and research is synergistic and remain committed to sustaining and developing the high quality of our activities in both these areas. Our departments are committed to research which develops a greater understanding of all aspects of society, from the impact of political, legal and economic systems on social and economic welfare to human rights and security.

Social Sciences Division The University’s academic departments and faculties are organised into four large groups known as Academic Divisions (Social Sciences, Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences (MPLS), Medical Sciences, and Humanities). The divisions are responsible for academic strategy and operational planning, oversight of the teaching and research of their constituent departments and faculties, and for personnel and resource management. The social sciences at Oxford are distinctive for both their depth and breadth, with over 1,100 academic and research staff working across fifteen departments, faculties, and schools. The Head of the Social Sciences Division is Professor Timothy Power. The Division is a world-leading centre of research and education in the social sciences. The Times Higher Education (THE) University Rankings returned the University of Oxford to the number one spot in the world for Social Sciences in 2024. We have placed first in four of the last five years (2019, 2021, 2022 & 2023). More than 800 researchers were returned to Main Panel C (Social Sciences) for REF 2021 across a diverse range of subject area ‘units of assessment’ – from geography and business to archaeology and law. Over 55% of the research submitted from the Division was judged to be world-leading (4*, the highest score available). More than two-thirds (69%) of the research’s impact were 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, thirteen of our departments have achieved bronze awards under the Athena Swan Charter (a UK accreditation scheme recognising organisations’ commitment to equality and diversity, particularly in gender). Our School of Geography and the Environment holds an Athena Swan Silver award. In February 2023, for the first time, the University as a whole was awarded an institutional Athena Swan Silver award, acknowledging the progress that has been made in addressing a number of gender gaps across the University over the last five years. The Division delivers an exceptional range of high-quality educational programmes all underpinned by the innovative research being undertaken by our academics. The student body is made up of over 2,000 undergraduate students, nearly 3,000 students studying postgraduate taught programmes and 1,200 postgraduate research students. The programmes we offer are wide-ranging, often interdisciplinary and include professionally oriented provision in areas such as business, law, and education. The Division is home to several of Oxford’s most widely recognised teaching programmes, such as Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) at undergraduate level; and at the Masters level programmes such as the bachelor's in civil law (BCL), Environmental Change and Management, International Relations, and Social Data Science.

Department of Education The Department of Education is a research-led Department, carrying out research which is of relevance not only to academics in the field of Education and related disciplines, but also to teachers, teacher educators, other education professionals, and policy makers. Its policy of developing both depth and breadth of research expertise remains central to successfully maintaining and enhancing our position as an internationally recognised centre of outstanding research. The 2021 Research Excellence Framework evaluation placed the department as the leader for education research in the United Kingdom. We have a world class reputation for research, as illustrated by our publication and funding portfolio, indicators of international and national academic leadership, research prizes, and commitment to mobilising research for the improvement of policy and practice and the benefit of children, parents, and communities. The department has a highly fertile research environment, with around 100 books published since 2010 and over 150 research seminars convened each academic year. All full-time members of academic staff are active researchers. We have approximately 115 full-time and part-time teaching and research staff, 40 full-time and part-time administrative and professional staff, and around 740 students, of whom more than 300 are studying part-time. Research in the Department is organised around three broad Themes: (i) Language, Cognition and Development; (ii) Policy, Economy, and Society; (iii) Knowledge, Learning and Pedagogy. Each Theme consists of a cluster of Research Groups and affiliated Centres. All academic and research staff are attached to one or more research groups and research students are active in the groups. The research groups provide a forum for discussion of research ideas and articles in progress, to obtain critical commentary on current projects, and to plan novel studies with colleagues. The externally funded research centres are formally established units, organised around a coherent research plan and include OUCEA (The Oxford University Centre for Educational Assessment), SKOPE (Research Centre on Skills, Knowledge, and Organisational Performance), The Rees Centre for Research in Fostering and Education and EMI (English as a Medium of Instruction). Our doctoral students make an excellent contribution to the research environment; there is an intake of just over 30 students per year.

The course has an international reputation for the quality of its work and in the most recent Ofsted inspection it was awarded the highest grade (Outstanding) in all categories for every subject and for management and quality assurance. At Masters Level there are two full-time courses: MSc Applied Linguistics and Second Language Acquisition and MSc Education in total admitting around 115 students each year. There are five part-time courses: the MSc in Learning and Teaching (MLT) is a two-year course which offers a combination of face-to-face teaching and online support for serving teachers; it recruits approximately 80 students each year. The Masters in Applied Linguistics in Language Teaching (ALLT) is a two-year part-time distance-learning course for lecturers teaching English within higher education institutions internationally, and the Masters in Teacher Education (MTEd) is likewise a two-year part-time distance-learning course, aimed at those employed as academics, teachers, and teacher educators worldwide who are involved in teacher education.
