The Faculty of Classics at the University of Oxford invites expressions of interest from postdoctoral and completing graduate scholars who wish to apply for the British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship scheme, for entry in 2023. The deadline for the submission of expressions of interest to the Faculty is Friday 5 August 2022.

The Fellowships are designed to enable outstanding, recent postdoctoral scholars in the Humanities or Social Sciences to pursue an independent research project for three years at a host institution for a period of three years. More information about the scheme is available on the British Academy website (please note that this will be updated with the 2022 call details from mid-July). There are strict eligibility requirements and potential candidates are advised to check these carefully. 

Those interested should send a CV, including a list of publications, and a two-page outline of the proposed research to recruitment[@]classics.ox.ac.uk. 

Please note that all applicants should have secured the agreement of a potential mentor within the Faculty. Prospective mentors should be contacted before sending in the expression of interest.

Candidates selected by the Faculty will be contacted by the Division’s Research Facilitation team with further information on the process and timetable for submitting your application via the British Academy application system.
