The College intends to elect up to five Post‑Doctoral Research Fellows on Saturday, 23 January 2027, with one Fellow in each of the above subjects. The Fellowships are for five years, fixed‑term, and non‑renewable.

Applicants must have been awarded their doctorate since 1 August 2024 or expect to have been awarded by 1 October 2027. Evidence may be provided for special circumstances such as serious illness or parental leave. The College encourages applications from women, Black and minority ethnic candidates, and others with protected characteristics who are under‑represented in the academic community at Oxford.

The primary duty of a Post‑Doctoral Research Fellow is to pursue an independent programme of advanced study and research for publication, as approved by the College at the time of election.

Fellows may be granted leave of absence to work away from Oxford on recommendation of the Academic Purposes Committee, provided the Committee is satisfied that such leave is necessary for the fellowship programme. Fellows are required to report regularly to the Committee on progress toward completion of their approved research programme within the term of the Fellowship.

Fellows are encouraged to undertake appropriate lecturing, teaching, and supervision of research in the University. As full Fellows of the College and members of its governing body, Fellows are expected to attend and participate in all College meetings, may be required to serve on College committees, and may assist with the annual Prize Fellowship examinations. Fellows are also trustees of the College, a charity, and must be eligible to serve as Charity Trustees.
