Early Career Fellowship in Biology

Baliol College proposes to elect an outstanding early career scientist who is undertaking funded research in Biology from 1 October 2025.

The Early Career Fellow will undertake high quality research leading to peer reviewed publication of international standing. A limited amount of paid undergraduate teaching, and teaching-related work, is also required. Participation in the academic, cultural and social life of the College is warmly encouraged.

The Early Career Fellowship is a non-stipendiary three-year fixed-term position, and the successful applicant should normally – at the time of taking up the post – be in possession of a doctorate. Applicants should also be able to demonstrate that they will have funding in place, as well as a position in the University of Oxford or other local research institution, for the duration of the Fellowship. Candidates should not normally have completed a PhD or equivalent earlier than 1 January 2015 (with the exception of career breaks, e.g. for parental leave), and the College especially encourages applications from those who have not yet had a comparable college-linked position. No applicant who has been appointed to a permanent academic post in an institution of higher education at any time in their career will be eligible.

The closing date for applications is 12 noon BST on Friday 6 June 2025.

To apply for this role and for more details, including the job description and selection criteria, please see these further particulars.
