The Governing Body of University College intends to elect a new Master as head of the College to succeed Sir Ivor Crewe who leaves office at the end of July 2020.
Founded in 1249, University College (or ‘Univ’ as it is known) is one of the oldest educational foundations in Oxford. It combines an ancient heritage with a thoroughly modern approach to fostering excellence in teaching and research. Its overriding focus is on academic endeavour at the highest standard. This is achieved through a strictly merit-based admission of students; tutorial teaching of undergraduates; a closely integrated graduate community; and a strong commitment to research in the Humanities, Sciences, and Social Sciences.

Univ has been innovative in many ways. In widening access, through its Opportunity Programme, undergraduate bursaries, and postgraduate scholarships; in enhanced support for the tutorial system; and in research, including, for example, the establishment of the Blockchain Research Centre.
The Master chairs Univ’s Governing Body, with which ultimate decision-making authority rests. In so doing, the Master both contributes to the strategic decisions the College takes and facilitates the debate and discussion necessary to the achievement of a consensus. The Master is also the outward-facing leader of the College, within Oxford and to the wider world.

Univ seeks applications from suitably qualified women and men who have achieved recognition for their achievements. Candidates will demonstrate an affinity for the academic purpose of the College and possess the intellectual stature to command the respect of the Fellowship. They will be accomplished leaders and experience of fundraising and development will be an important advantage.

Russell Reynolds Associates are assisting Univ with this appointment. For further information about this role and details of how to apply, please follow the link to the position specification below.

Applications are invited by 22nd February 2019. Further details for applicants here.

University College invites applications for a Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) in Studies in Autism and related disorders, tenable for three years with a start date expected to be at the beginning of October 2019. The appointee will be based in University College, High Street, Oxford OX1 4BH.

The main focus of the research will be on establishing the genetic, neurobiological and cognitive bases of these disorders. The successful candidate will have a background in developmental or cognitive psychology (which could include the use of imaging or electrophysiological approaches), data analysis of genetic data, neuroimaging, neuroanatomy or in the analyses of Event-Related Potentials or Magnetoencephalography data. In addition to work in Oxford there are excellent opportunities to perform some of this work in East Africa in collaboration with Professor Charles Newton, where Autism Spectrum Disorders are increasingly recognised in a different genetic, environmental and cultural milieu which may provide unique insights into these disorders. Professor Newton is the Cheryl and Reece Scott Professorship of Psychiatry in Oxford, which is devoted to the study of autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders.

JRFs provide research opportunities to outstanding academics at the beginning of their careers. The primary duty of the post is to carry out a coherent programme of high-quality publishable research, but most JRFs choose also to offer a limited amount of teaching for the College in the interests of career development. Any such teaching will be remunerated separately. Ordinarily, the College has between 8 and 10 JRFs across a range of subjects. JRFs play an important part in the intellectual and social life of the College.

Further details about University College, including the research interests of current Fellows, are available from this website.

The primary criterion for appointment to the JRF will be research excellence. Candidates must: (1) have a strong educational record; (2) hold a doctorate, or be near completion ; (3) have research expertise demonstrated by publications, or demonstrate promise of such achievement; and (4) have a coherent plan of research for the duration of the fellowship. The potential to become an effective teacher will be a secondary consideration.

Candidates must be confident that they will have obtained their doctorates by the start of their appointment. This position is not intended for those who have already held another stipendiary JRF or equivalent or for those who obtained their doctorates more than two years prior to the application date (except in special circumstances).

The current stipend for a Junior Research Fellow not in receipt of other emoluments is £24,983 per annum. If a JRF receives a stipend from elsewhere (such as a UK Research Council) then the College stipend would be reduced by the amount of salary received from that other source, with a minimum stipend of £2,500 plus housing allowance provided. Free meals and free accommodation for the JRF in College, ordinarily a one bedroom flat, will be offered if available, or a housing allowance in lieu (£5,512 pa). The total salary package is therefore £30,495, plus generous additional benefits, including an academic allowance (£2,284), an entertainment allowance (£192), membership of USS, and private health insurance.

Selected candidates may be asked to submit written work, which may be one or two published or submitted articles, or a chapter from their thesis. Applicants should indicate on their application form what material they propose to submit, but should not at this stage submit any written work.

Application forms (downloadable below) should be sent to recruitment@univ.ox.ac.uk, by 12 noon (UK time) on Wednesday 30 January 2019. Applicants should arrange for three referees to send their references to recruitment@univ.ox.ac.uk by the same date. Please refer to the Information for Candidates available below. Interviews for shortlisted candidates are expected to be held towards the end of February or in early March 2019 (to be confirmed).

Please download and complete the Recruitment Monitoring form below. This can be returned by email to recruitment@univ.ox.ac.uk and will be treated confidentially and not as part of the selection process, or it can be sent in hard copy addressed to the Equality Officer at University College.
