Junior Research Fellowships in English and European Languages

2 months ago


Oxford, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom University of Oxford Full time

The College proposes to elect two suitable candidates to Junior Research Fellowships in English or European Languages, tenable from 1 October 2024.

Selection Criteria

Candidates should be in possession of a fellowship, or similar personal academic support, obtained in open competition from a major UK or international academic organisation such as a Research Council, a Charity or Trust, the British Academy, the Royal Society, or the University of Oxford. Being a named researcher on a research grant held by a senior member of the University does not qualify as personal academic support.

In the present round, applications will be considered from those working in a field relating to the study of literature: candidates must have an association with a department or faculty of the Humanities Division of the University of Oxford.

Applicants must normally have received the degree of PhD or equivalent by 1 October 2024.

The College will not normally elect someone who has previously held a similar appointment.

Holders of these Fellowships are entitled to an Academic Allowance (presently set at £1,850 per annum).

Junior Research Fellows are members of the Senior Common Room and will be entitled to full dining rights when the College kitchen is open, but are not Governing Body members.

Opportunities to undertake teaching or other duties within the College may be possible, with the agreement of the Governing Body.

Fellows will be expected to play a full part in the intellectual and social life of the College, for example by attending College functions such as lectures and seminars with undergraduates or postgraduates.

They will also each act as an advisor to around five St Edmund Hall graduate students.

Application Process

Applications should be sent by email to not later than noon BST on Monday, 2 September 2024.

Applications should include:

  1. A full CV, detailing career, education and qualifications, teaching experience and research in progress or planned, publications, prizes or awards;
  2. A cover sheet, with the names and contact details of two referees who can speak with detailed knowledge about the candidate (see 'referees' below).
  3. A statement no longer than 300 words, stating how holding such a Fellowship will benefit both the applicant and St Edmund Hall.

It is expected that interviews will be held online during the week commencing 23 September 2024.

Referees

You are advised to contact your referees before applying, to ensure that they are aware of your application and the requirements for the post, and to confirm that they would be content to write a reference for you for this post if asked to do so, in the event that you are shortlisted.

Your application should include for each referee their name, position, relationship to you, postal address, email address and contact telephone number. Shortlisted candidates will be asked to contact their referees and ask them to submit a reference directly to us.

Queries about the post should be directed to the Senior Tutor, Dr Robert Wilkins:

In making this appointment, the College wishes to promote equality of opportunity. Applications for this post are particularly welcome from women, disabled, and black and ethnic minority candidates, who are under-represented in academic posts in Oxford.

Applicants are asked to consider completing the online Equal Opportunity Monitoring Form. Submission of this form is voluntary and does not form part of the selection process, but it would be appreciated if you complete it at the same time as your application to assist us with our equal opportunity monitoring. A paper copy can be obtained here.
