Applications are invited for the above post, tenable from 1 September 2007 or as soon as possible thereafter, which has been established following the generous donation from Pearson PLC to establish the Oxford Centre for Educational Assessment. The Professorship will be held in the Department of Education (http://www.edstud.ox.ac.uk/) and is attached to a non-stipendiary Professorial Fellowship at St Anne's College.
The University is seeking to appoint a scholar of international standing to this professorial post as the first Director for the newly established Centre for Educational Assessment (OCEA).

The OCEA has been established with the generous support of Pearson PLC with funding for ten years in the first instance, and with a performance review after three years. Funds cover the establishment costs for the Centre including administrative support, infrastructure costs, and support for two doctoral studentships. In addition, Pearson PLC is committed to funding a substantial rolling programme of specific research projects within the Centre.
The Directorship role requires that the Professor provide research, academic, and strategic leadership for the Centre. He or she will be able to provide research leadership and facilitation, having already established a strong track record in attracting and managing major research grants and also demonstrated a commitment to teaching excellence at the graduate level. This will be a senior management position in the Department with a remit not only to lead the OCEA but also the development of this field of study in the Department more generally.
