(FIVE-YEAR, NON-RENEWABLE)
£41,231 to £44,052 (including housing allowance of £9,533 if eligible)
The College intends to elect up to four Post-Doctoral Research Fellows on Saturday, 19 January 2019, one in each of the following subjects: Literature in English; Mathematics; Modern Languages; and Social and Political Sciences (limited to Politics and International Relations, Social Anthropology, and Sociology). The Fellowships are for five years, fixed-term, and non-renewable*. Successful candidates will be expected to take up their Fellowships on 1 October 2019 or such other date as may be agreed in advance with the College.
ELIGIBILITY AND EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES
Normally, the College will only accept applications from those who have been awarded their doctorate since 1 August 2016 or expect to have been awarded their doctorate by 1 October 2019. (Doctoral award should be taken as the date of the successful defence of your doctoral dissertation at a viva voceexamination, or where there is no viva, the date of award on the degree certificate.) If you believe there are special reasons (e.g. grave illness, parental leave) why you think these normal eligibility criteria should be waived in your case, you are encouraged to submit your application well before the 7 September 2018 deadline, including details for consideration by the Eligibility Panel.
Applications are particularly welcome from women and from black and minority ethnic candidates, who are under-represented in academic posts in Oxford.
JOB DESCRIPTION
The primary duty of a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow is to pursue in Oxford an independent programme of advanced study and research for publication as approved by the College at the time of election.
Leave of absence to work away from Oxford may be granted on the recommendation of the College's Academic Purposes Committee, but only where the Committee is satisfied that such leave is necessary for the pursuit of the Fellow's programme of research.
Fellows are required to report regularly to the Academic Purposes Committee on their progress towards completion of their approved research programme within the term of the Fellowship. The College does not, however, regard Fellows as tied indissolubly to that particular programme and will be willing to entertain applications to vary it. Post-Doctoral Research Fellows are also encouraged to undertake appropriate lecturing, teaching and supervision of research in the University.
Post-Doctoral Research Fellows are full Fellows of the College and members of its governing body. As such, they are expected to attend and participate in all College meetings and may be required to serve on College committees and assist with the annual Prize Fellowship examinations. As the College is a charity of which the Fellows are trustees, the successful applicants must be eligible to be Charity Trustees and discharge this responsibility effectively –see Becoming a trustee - Charity Commission.
