The Classics Faculty 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 2019.

The Fellowships are designed to enable outstanding, recent postdoctoral scholars in the Humanities or Social Sciences to obtain experience of research and teaching in the university environment for a period of three years, to strengthen their research and teaching track record and to improve their prospects of obtaining permanent posts by the end of the fellowship.

Applicants must have obtained their doctorate recently (for the October 2018 deadline, the viva must have been passed after 1 April 2016 and no later than 1 April 2019), and must not have held an established teaching post in an institution of higher education. If you have previously applied to the scheme, you can only re-apply if you have been invited by the BA to do so.

Fellowships would commence between 1 September 2019 and 1 January 2020, and would be tenable for three years (not renewable).

All applicants should have secured the agreement of a potential mentor within the Faculty.
