PROFESSORSHIP OF CHILD AND ADOLESCENT PSYCHIATRY

The electors intend to proceed to an election to the Professorship of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, with effect from as early a date as may be arranged. The necessary formal University legislation to establish the Professorship is still subject to approval, which it is hoped will be given on 23 May 2000.

The primary purpose of the Professorship is research. The substantive funding for the post will become available in 2003 when Professor Gregory Stores retires as Clinical Reader. However, it is hoped to make a proleptic appointment on the understanding that the successful applicant will obtain the necessary personal funding to bridge the intervening period. Some flexibility in the starting date of the post is obviously necessary but it will preferably be before 31 March 2001.

The Department of Psychiatry has a strong research profile in psychological treatments, neuroscience applied to psychiatry, and a variety of clinical areas (e.g. eating disorders, trauma, suicide). The appointee will be expected to assume a leadership role for the sub-specialty within the Department. Synergy with existing strengths in psychological treatments, eating disorders, epidemiology, experimental psychopathology, neuroscience, or evidence-based practice will be desirable. A non-stipendiary Fellowship at Linacre College is attached to the Professorship.

Applications (twelve copies, or one only from overseas candidates), naming three persons who have agreed to act as referees on this occasion, should be received not later than 22 May 2000, by the Registrar, University Offices, Wellington Square, Oxford, OX1 2JD, from whom further particulars may be obtained. Further particulars may also be accessed on the Web (URL: http://www.admin.ox.ac.uk/fp/).

GRINFIELD LECTURERSHIP ON THE SEPTUAGINT

Applications are invited for the above Lecturership, for two years beginning on 1 October 2002. The Lecturer is required to give three lectures each year on the LXX version of the Hebrew Scriptures. The stipend is £1,250 a year and a grant may be made towards travelling and other expenses.

Candidates should send their names, a curriculum vitae, and a statement of the subject of the lectures which they propose to deliver, together with any further information which they may consider appropriate, in eight typed copies (one if from overseas), to Mrs E. A. Macallister, University Offices, Wellington Square, Oxford, OX1 2JD, from whom further details may be obtained. The closing date for applications is 22 May 2000.
