Junior Research Fellowship

Pembroke College wishes to appoint a Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) in Education, Data Science and Statistical Methods. The appointment is full time from 15 January 2023, with a duration of 2 years.

The post-holder will spend 50% of their time on independent research projects in the field of Higher Education, and in particular access to and participation in Higher Education by individuals from disadvantaged and under-represented groups.  This should incorporate research involving the analysis of large data-sets.

For 50% of their time, the post-holder will undertake projects under the direction of the Director of CredOx, or members of the CredOx Advisory Board, whose interests are likely to be focused on the better use of data to support wider participation in Higher Education, including the University of Oxford.  Projects may also include analysis of data to support Pembroke College’s access initiatives, including the OxNet outreach programme which operates in the North West, the North East and London (see https://www.oxnet.org/).  There will also be an opportunity for the development of projects related to the interests of the successful candidate. Limited teaching may be undertaken with the permission of the Director of CredOx.

A recent or soon-to-be-completed doctorate in a relevant field is essential, and preference will be given to candidates within 3 years of completing their PhD, or who have had to take a career-break at an early stage of their career.

This is a College vacancy. Selection criteria and the terms and conditions that apply to this post are available in the further particulars available on the College’s website (https://www.pmb.ox.ac.uk/work-with-us). We would also encourage all applicants to complete the equal opportunity monitoring form available on the college website.

The closing date for receipt of applications is 12:00 noon on 3rd January 2023. Applications should be submitted by email to peter.claus@pmb.ox.ac.uk and should include:

• A letter of application of 1-2 sides explaining why you wish to be considered for this position. The covering letter should make clear how your research meets the selection criteria.
• Curriculum vitae, which must include details of higher education, research, and any publications to date.
• A one-page research proposal with details of research to be conducted over the 2-year duration.
• Names, positions, and email addresses of three academic referees. The referees will only be contacted to request a reference if the application is shortlisted.

The stipend for the role is £33,000 per annum. Benefits include a research allowance of £1,545 per annum and lunches and dinners when the College kitchens are open. These benefits are subject to revision. Interviews are currently planned to take place on or around the 13th January.

Applications are particularly welcome from women and black and minority ethnic candidates, who are under-represented in academic posts in Oxford.  The College is an equal opportunities employer.
