Deadline: May 20, 2020.

Applications are invited for a Career Development Fellowship in Engineering Science at St Hugh’s College, Oxford, tenable from 1st October 2020 or as soon as possible thereafter. This is a fixed-term three-year position, and will suit an individual who has recently completed a
PhD/DPhil, and who wishes to develop their academic career by furthering their research while gaining experience of teaching.
Under the direction of the Fellows in Engineering, the postholder will contribute (to an average of three hours per week during term) to the teaching of undergraduates, at St Hugh’s
or other colleges, and will also be expected to use the period of the Fellowship to begin
building an international research profile. The research activities of the Fellow will be
supported by the University’s Department of Engineering Science, where they will have laboratory space. Career Development Fellows have teaching spaces at St Hugh’s, and are encouraged to take a full part in the intellectual life of the College.

The formal selection criteria for the post are as follows:

1. Evidence of ability to produce work of international standing within the candidate’s field
   of research.
2. Evidence of ability to teach undergraduate students Engineering Science at the highest
   level.
3. The candidate should have already received the degree of PhD/DPhil or equivalent at the
   point of application. The candidate should not normally have accumulated more than
   seven years (not counting career breaks) in full-time graduate study or research.
   The selection committee will apply these criteria bearing in mind the stage reached in a
   candidate’s career.
   The qualities that we are therefore seeking include:
4. Expertise in and enthusiasm for undergraduate teaching.
5. The ability to bring advanced research projects to fruition; excellent presentation skills;
   the ability to contribute to a research community.

The duties of the post holder will be: To carry out research of international standing, to offer
an average of three hours teaching each week during term for the College; to assist in directing studies, admissions, and pastoral care of undergraduates; to promote women in Engineering Science through events with the College and University, as well as schools,
industry, and the wider community.
The successful applicant will be elected to the Mary R. Emerson Career Development
Fellowship in Engineering Science at St Hugh’s College. The stipend will be based on the University’s scale for Fixed-Term Fellows (Grade 6), starting at around £30,942 per annum.
The post holder will have the option of becoming or remaining a member of a contributory pension scheme, the Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS). If it is available, the post holder will have the option to rent single accommodation from the College.
