Junior Research Fellowships are full-time research posts offered by Oxford colleges to early career researchers and provide an unrivalled opportunity to establish a research profile as a member of a collegiate community. The basic obligation of a Junior Research Fellow is to engage full-time in research and its dissemination in some branch of the Sciences or Social Sciences. The successful candidate will be expected to propose, plan and manage a high-quality programme of original research, publicise the outcomes of that research through presentation of papers and publications, and take part fully in life and activities of the College.

For more information, including how to apply, please see the Attached Further Particulars.
