The Rosemary Pountney Junior Research Fellowship In British And/Or European Drama 1890 To The Present

The Governing Body of St Anne's College invites applications for the Rosemary Pountney Junior Research Fellowship in British and/or European Drama 1890 to the present, tenable from 25 September 2023. The JRF is open to those at an early stage of their academic career, typically at post-doctoral level, though applicants in their last year of doctoral study are also eligible to apply.

Eligibility

The JRF is open to those at an early stage of their academic career.  Applicants are expected to be either graduate students expecting to submit their PhD theses (or equivalent) no later than 30 June 2023, or post-doctoral researchers who at the start of the fellowship are within three years since the award of their PhDs or equivalent professional training.  Career breaks do not count towards this limit.   Applications are particularly welcome from women and black and minority ethnic candidates, who are under-represented in academic posts in St Anne’s College and in the University of Oxford.

Selection Criteria

Applications will be judged on the basis of the candidate’s potential to undertake a significant and exciting programme of research in an area of British and/or European drama written between 1890 and the present, as evidenced by their research proposal, publication record and academic references.

Objective and Duties

The objectives of the College in making this appointment are:

• to develop the research profile and career of an early-career researcher;
• to develop and strengthen the research profile of the College; and more generally
• to contribute to the goal of maintaining the University of Oxford as a leading centre for research in British and European Drama 1890 to the present.

The fellowship is full time. The successful candidate will be expected to:

• engage in research and its dissemination;
• propose, plan and manage a high quality programme of original research; and
• publicise the outcomes of that research through presentation of papers and publications.
• undertake up to three hours of teaching per week during term time for the College; and
• engage in the life and activities of the College, including taking responsibility for the convening of a Subject Family Event at least once a year.

Salary and Benefits

• The stipend, including 3 hours of teaching per week, will be £33,044 (this figure may be reduced to take account of any award or grant already held by or promised to the successful applicant).
• The Fellow will be a member of the Senior Common Room, and will be entitled to all meals free during term, and breakfast and lunch during vacation, except when the hall is closed.
• A research allowance of up to £1,000 per annum
