Research Fellowships

Each year the College proposes to elect up to four Fellows by Examination (elsewhere known as Junior Research Fellows). Each Fellowship is tenable for three years. The Fellow is a member of the Governing Body of the College for the first two years and is entitled to: free lunches and dinners in College; a research allowance; and partnered accommodation in College free of charge or, alternatively, a taxable housing allowance. Successful candidates who decide to live out of College may have use of shared office space in College.  Fellows by Examination are expected to live in the Oxford area, and his/her research base must be in Oxford.

The online application website for 2017-18 has now closed.  The competition for 2018-19 will reopen in September 2018 and details will be posted closer to the time.

In the interim, you may contact us regarding Fellowships by Examination (Junior Research Fellowships) but please be aware that your query may not be answered immediately.

Visiting Fellowships

Each year the College elects a Visiting Fellow or Fellows for periods of one year or shorter during an academic year. In addition, a Robert S. Campbell Visiting Fellow may be elected for research in law, especially commercial or competition law.

A Visiting Fellowship is intended to offer an established scholar, either from abroad or from the United Kingdom, an opportunity to pursue his or her own study and research as a member of the College.

Visiting Fellowships are usually advertised each September, and once the process has started, application details will be found on our Job Vacancies page. Closing dates are the middle of December of the academic year of application.
