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 Arts or Humanities. 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 undertake teaching up to a maximum of six hours a week during full term.

The ideal candidate will hold a doctorate or be close to completion, have research expertise in their chosen field, have the ability to present research findings effectively to fellow professionals at national and international conferences or in professional research seminars. Suitable candidates will not have already held a comparable career development appointment at Oxford or another university.
