All Souls College, University of Oxford invites applications for up to six Post-Doctoral Research Fellowships, two in Life or Environmental Sciences, and one in each of the following subjects: History since 1800; History of Art or Music or Science (excluding History of Medicine); Mathematics; and Social Anthropology. Those elected will be expected to take up their Fellowships on 1 October 2023 or such other date as may be agreed in advance with the College. The Fellowships are for five years, fixed-term, and non-renewable. 

All Souls is primarily a research institution with particular strengths in the Humanities and Social and Theoretical Sciences, and with strong connections to public life. It is strongly committed to supporting early career scholars. The Fellowships are intended to offer opportunities for outstanding early career researchers to establish a record of independent research. But, while the primary duty of a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow is the completion of a significant body of independent research for publication, they are also encouraged to undertake appropriate teaching and supervision of research in the University, develop their curriculum vitae, and improve their prospects of obtaining a permanent academic position by the end of the Fellowship.  

Applicants must have been awarded their doctorates after 1 August 2020 or expect to have been awarded their doctorate by 1 October 2023. The successful candidates must have completed their doctorates by the time they take up their Fellowships.
