The College intends to make an election to not more than two Post-Doctoral Research Fellowships on 24 February 2007. Candidates in the following subjects may apply: Law, History, Philosophy, Economics, Politics, Language and Literature, Classical Studies, Oriental Studies, and Mathematical and Theoretical Sciences. (All these subjects will be broadly interpreted: for example, 'History' includes the archaeology of prehistoric as well as of historic times.)
The College accepts applicants who are or who have been registered for a doctorate at any recognized University. The College expects that applicants will have completed their doctorate, or be close to completion.
The College expects that candidates will not normally be older than 30 at the date of election. The College is an equal opportunity employer, and consideration will be given to applications submitted by candidates who include a statement explaining why this age-limit would be inappropriate in their circumstances.
Further particulars, including a statement of the College's policy on equal treatment of candidates, may be obtained from the Warden's Secretary, All Souls College, Oxford, OX1 4AL. Information is also available on the College's website at http://www.all-souls.ox.ac.uk/. Applications must reach the Warden not later than 1 September 2006.
The College proposes to elect a number of Visiting Fellows, for periods of one, two, or three terms in the academical year October 2007 to June 2008. These Fellowships are intended to enable their holders to carry out study and research in Oxford, and to participate in the academic life of the University. Visiting Fellowships are open in all subjects, and to both men and women from all countries. Preference will be given to candidates who will be between the ages of 35 and 65 during the relevant academical year. Applications will be considered from staff of any university or other institution of higher learning, and from other persons who wish to carry out scholarly work in Oxford. In making its final choice, the College will give weight to intellectual quality, the interest and feasibility of the research project, and to the relevance for it of residence in Oxford. It is not the College's policy to offer Visiting Fellowships to persons already in or near Oxford.
Visiting Fellows will be entitled to accommodation, a study in College, and lunches and dinners without charge. Limited financial subvention may also be offered in exceptional circumstances. In certain cases (not expected to exceed one in each year) such assistance may be extended to include the cost of replacement teaching for a Visiting Fellow from an institution in the UK. Any candidate desiring to take advantage of this provision should indicate this at the time of application.
Application forms and further particulars may be obtained from the College website at http://www.all-souls.ox.ac.uk/, or from the Secretary to the Dean of Visiting Fellows, All Souls College, Oxford, OX1 4AL, to whom all applications should be addressed. Applications must be received by 8 September 2006.
