Candidates with distinguished records of research and teaching are invited to apply for these prestigious Professorships. Candidates will be expected to be leaders of research in their particular fields and to have major portfolios of peer-reviewed grant income. Those with expertise in any appropriate discipline are invited to apply for the respective Chairs. While the absolute distinction of candidates will be the primary criterion determining the appointments, the University will be seeking to advance a key strategic priority, namely neuroscience. The University will wish to appoint candidates capable of leadership of the relevant academic Departments and with the potential for leadership, in consultation with others, of neuroscience research endeavour across a variety of different Departments.
The Watts Professorship and the Waynflete Professorship are tenable from as early a date as can be arranged, and the Professorship of Pharmacology is tenable from 1 October 2005.
Non-stipendiary College Fellowships are associated with the Chairs as follows:
Pharmacology: Lady Margaret Hall
Physiology: Magdalen College
Psychology: Wolfson College
