Junior Research Fellowships are fellowships for full-time research 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 Junior Research Fellow will be expected to propose, plan and manage a high-quality programme of original research, and publicise the outcomes of that research through presentation of papers and publications. The successful candidate will have a coherent plan of research for the duration of the appointment which can either be the further development of doctoral work or an entirely new area and which promises to make a valuable contribution to the candidate’s field.

This is a temporary, four year fixed-term position with a salary of £37,099 (National Spine Point 30) per annum (current rates).

In all cases, ability to perform the job will be the primary consideration. No applicant or member of staff shall be discriminated against because of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy or maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation.
