Current Vacancies
Junior Research Fellowships in Egyptology, Psychology and Postcolonial and Race Studies
University College invites applications for three Junior Research Fellowships (JRFs), one in Egyptology, one in Psychology, and one in Postcolonial and Race Studies, each tenable for three years with a start date expected to be at the beginning of October 2022. The appointees will be based in University College, High Street, Oxford OX1 4BH.
The JRFs in Egyptology and in Psychology are open to applicants pursuing academic research in any aspect of those fields.
The JRF in Postcolonial and Race Studies is the first JRF to be made available under the College’s newly launched Univ Beacon Programme, a major new initiative to drive participation and inclusion in education and research. You can read more about the Univ Beacon Programme at https://www.univ.ox.ac.uk/news/the-univ-beacon-programme/. The Univ Beacon JRF is open to applicants working in any aspect of Postcolonial and Race Studies. The College is keen to appoint a postholder who will contribute to the wider aims of the Beacon programme in appropriate ways.
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.
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 closing date for applications is 12 noon (UK time) on Thursday 23 June 2022. It is anticipated that interviews will take place in July.
Further information about the main duties of the post, selection criteria, and details about how to apply are attached below.
Applications are particularly welcome from women and black and minority ethnic candidates, who are under-represented in academic posts in Oxford.
