The College proposes to elect two non-stipendiary Junior Research Fellows, one in a Humanities or Social Science subject and one in a Science subject, from 1 October 2010. It is expected that the Fellowships will be for three years, although the College may be willing to consider an extension of this period in certain circumstances. Successful applicants should normally – at the time of taking up their Fellowship – have funding for a minimum of three years and be in possession of a Doctorate. The College especially encourages applications from early career academics and candidates for schemes such as the British Academy Post-Doctoral Fellowships Scheme, the ESRC Research Fellowships Scheme, and the Royal Society Fellowship Scheme, who wish to hold their Fellowship in Oxford, or those holding similar departmentally funded positions who would welcome a College attachment during the period of their award. The Fellow elected will be a Junior Research Fellow as defined in the College Statutes. The main duty of the Fellow will be to undertake research, but participation in the educational activities of the College, including, if desired, a small amount of paid tutorial teaching, would be welcomed. College accommodation is offered (or, if preferred, a housing allowance of £5,179 a year), as well as free meals and an academic support allowance.
Further particulars may be obtained from the Master’s PA, Balliol College, Oxford, OX1 3BJ (email masters.secretary@balliol.ox.ac.uk). Applications, in the form of a letter, curriculum vitae, and research proposal (up to two pages) should be sent to the same address to arrive not later than noon on Friday, 8 January 2010. Applicants should specify their source of funding and, in the case of Sciences, arrangements for laboratory space, and should arrange for two references to be sent direct to the same address and by the same date. It is expected that interviews will be held in late February.
Balliol College is an equal opportunities employer and a charity which exists to promote excellence in education and research.

A salary enhancement of £2,000 a year, free meals in College, a College study room equipped with computer and printer, and an annual research allowance of £850 are offered. Applicants must have their research funded from another source.

Jesus College, Oxford proposes to elect up to three Senior Research Fellowships, tenable from 1 October 2010 for three years in the first instance, with the possibility of renewal. The Fellowships are intended for those who possess clear international academic distinction in research (normally building on the existing strengths of the College). It is expected that most applicants will be employed in the University of Oxford, and preference will be given to those who do not already hold a college affiliation. The College is particularly keen to attract applicants in the Humanities and Social Sciences and is therefore happy to consider suitably qualified applicants who do not hold a University post but who are located in Oxford and associated with institutions in Oxford or who are retired but still research active.
The Fellowships offer Senior Common Room membership, full dining rights, and a personal research allowance.
Further information on these Senior Research Fellowships may be obtained from the Jesus College website (http://www.jesus.ox.ac.uk/notices/), or the Principal’s Secretary, Jesus College, Oxford, OX1 3DW (helen.gee@jesus.ox.ac.uk), to whom seven copies of the application should be sent by 18 January 2010.
Jesus College is an equal opportunities employer.
The Governing Body invites applications from graduates of any university for election to the Junior Research Fellowship in American Politics or History. The successful candidate will take up the Fellowship on 1 October 2010.
Junior Research Fellowships are intended to support those at an early stage of their academic careers, and will normally be awarded to candidates who have recently completed their doctoral research, or are close to completion. Candidates must not have accumulated more than six years in full-time postgraduate study or research, nor have already held a research fellowship elsewhere.
The basic stipend of the Fellowship, which is pensionable under the Universities Superannuation Scheme, is currently £17,092 a year. The Fellow will be entitled to free rooms in College (or in approved cases to an allowance of £3,444 in lieu), and to free meals in College. The Fellow may, with the leave of the Governing Body, engage in teaching up to a maximum of six hours weekly and, if teaching, would normally be expected to give priority to the College’s own teaching needs.
The closing date for applications is 29 January 2010. Further details are available on the College website at http://www.queens.ox.ac.uk/vacancies/ or from the Academic Administrator, The Queen’s College, Oxford, OX1 4AW (email particulars@queens.ox.ac.uk).
