Career Development Fellowship in Economics

The College proposes to elect a fixed-term (non-renewable) Career Development Fellow (CDF) in Economics for three years with effect from 1st September 2024.

We are committed to fostering equality, diversity and inclusiveness. We particularly encourage applications from women, disabled people and people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds, as these groups are currently under-represented in the College’s academic staff.

The Fellowship is open to graduates of any university of postdoctoral or equivalent standing, who are engaged in research. The successful candidate will have a broad competence in Economics. Eligible candidates should hold a doctorate in Economics or a closely related field, or be close to completing such a doctorate, and have accrued no more than three years of post-doctoral research experience by 1st September 2024; however, these three years need not be continuous. 

The CDF will be required (i) to pursue a programme of advanced research in Economics; (ii) to teach six hours per week for the College or, should the hours required by Queen’s be less, for other colleges, either under an exchange arrangement or in return for tuition fees to be remitted to the College; to mark College examinations, play a full part in the admissions process, and to assist in the pastoral care of undergraduates reading the subject; (iii) to contribute to College Open Days and outreach activities; and (iv) to contribute to the development of the subject within the College, and to undertake such other duties as the Governing Body may direct.

Salary and Allowances

The salary for this post is £41,200. A personal research allowance of £1,921 per annum is provided by the College for research activities such as conference attendance, research assistance, and the purchase of books, computer equipment and software. The College will provide a non-residential study room on the main site in central Oxford.
