University of Oxford, Global Priorities Institute

Position Title/Short Description

Full Text of JOE Listing:

The Global Priorities Institute (GPI), in partnership with the Department of Economics, offers Research Fellowship openings for postdoctoral researchers. The Fellowships offer early career researchers the opportunity to develop their research portfolio within one of the world’s leading Economics departments.

You will conduct advanced research in economics. At least 50% of your time will be spent on topics directly relevant to the GPI's research agenda, which you will help to set. The role requires no teaching load and only minor supervision responsibilities, although teaching may be arranged if the fellow would like to do so.

This is a full-time position at the Oxford University for a fixed term of four years, with a possibility of extension. Successful candidates may also choose to leave the position before the completion of four years at GPI, for example, if they accept a faculty position at another university. We therefore encourage applications from researchers who anticipate starting a tenure-track faculty position in 2019-20 if they are interested in a one-year postdoc preceding the commencement of this position. Visa support is available for successful applicants from overseas. We particularly encourage applications from women, black and ethnic minority candidates, as these groups are underrepresented in economics.
