Brasenose College invites applications for one Senior and one Junior Nicholas Kurti Fellowship in Science. The Fellowships are open to suitably qualified post-doctoral researchers who are carrying out research in any branch of science in Oxford, either in the University or in an institute associated with the University.

Fellows are required to have a salaried post within the University or one of its institutes with a tenure of at least twelve months from the date of taking up the Fellowship.

Neither Fellowship may be held in conjunction with a Fellowship at another Oxford College.

The College proposes to elect up to twelve non-stipendiary Research Fellows in Humanities and Social Studies, if candidates of sufficient merit present themselves, without limitation of subject, from 1 October 2010. Candidates will be required to be engaged in research work within an Oxford University Department or Faculty, and to spend the greater part of the academic year in Oxford.
These Research Fellowships are intended equally for those with limited research experience (who have recently completed or are shortly about to complete a Doctorate), and for those who are becoming established scholars in their field.
All Fellowships carry Common Table rights (currently up to £36.00 a week for Fellows’ meals in Hall), and other benefits, and are open to both men and women. Preference will be given to candidates who have not already held a Fellowship at the same level at another College.
Research Fellows will be elected for three years in the first instance, and may apply for renewal for a further four years (to a maximum of seven years). Renewal, which is not automatic, is subject to approval by the Governing Body and is considered on the basis of satisfactory progress in research, evidence of adequate financial support for the further term, and good standing in the College. (The completion of a Doctorate will be necessary in order to apply for renewal.)
The Fellowships are non-stipendiary. Candidates are asked to demonstrate their financial independence with evidence of their means of support. Where funds are applied for but not confirmed, any offer will be conditional on proof of funding being provided before the start of the Fellowship.
Candidates should themselves write directly to their referees asking them without further request to send a confidential reference to the President’s PA by the closing date (Tuesday, 16 March 2010). References may be emailed or faxed direct to the President’s PA (sue.hales@wolfson.ox.ac.uk).
Applications, typed or clearly printed, including a completed application form, a full curriculum vitae (including a full list of publications), and the names of three referees, should be sent to the President’s PA, Wolfson College, Oxford, OX2 6UD, by 4 p.m. on Tuesday, 16 March 2010. Candidates should also include details of past research and of the research they will be doing in Oxford. Any additional information relevant to the application should be included in the covering letter. Completed applications should not be emailed without prior consultation with the President’s PA.
Full details and application forms are available from the President’s PA, Wolfson College, Oxford, OX2 6UD (self-addressed envelope required) or from the College Lodge, or on the website: http://www.wolfson.ox.ac.uk/fellowships/.
Interviews will take place on Wednesday, 5 May 2010. No alternative interview date will be possible. The College reserves the right not to accept late or incomplete applications. The College is unable to offer financial assistance towards travelling expenses.

The University of Oxford intends to make an appointment to the Directorship of the Oxford University Museum of Natural History from 1 October 2010, or as soon as possible thereafter, in succession to Professor W. J. Kennedy, who retires on 30 September 2010. The primary role of the Director is to lead the development of the Museum’s research, stewardship, curation, educational, access, and fundraising profiles. A major challenge for the Director will be to sustain the collections at the centre of the University’s teaching and research at the same time as maintaining the Museum’s commitment to public education. The successful candidate will have an international research reputation in any area of life sciences or earth sciences relevant to the Museum’s role and collections. Experience of fundraising, collections management, and education/outreach activities would be desirable.
Please see the further particulars at http://www.admin.ox.ac.uk/fp/ for more details about the post and for full instructions before making an application.
