The Queen’s College, University of Oxford, is offering a Junior Research Fellowship in Climate Change Research for candidates who hold, or are close to completing, a doctorate in any field whose research seeks to understand and/or respond to the challenges of the climate change crisis. The Fellowship offers researchers the opportunity to develop their research within one of the world’s leading universities and so strengthen their future position in the academic job market.
As well as engaging in their own research, the Junior Research Fellow will be expected to attend the College’s Climate Change Committee and to take an active role in organising and facilitating academic activities that engage members of the College—students, Fellows, and staff—in understanding and addressing the climate change crisis. Such activities could include convening an interdisciplinary conference or workshop or partnering with existing activities or groups within the College. An allowance of £5,000 per annum will be available to the Junior Research Fellow for these purposes.
Junior Research Fellowships are tenable for a fixed term of three years and it is expected that the successful candidate will take up the post no later than 1st October 2026. Consideration will be given to any field of specialisation; candidates will need to demonstrate how their research focuses on understanding and/or addressing the challenges of the climate change crisis. Research Fellowships will not normally be awarded to people who have held comparable post-doctoral positions. Candidates must have accumulated, by 1st October 2026, no more than two years’ full-time postdoctoral research experience (from the date of doctoral award); however, these two years need not be continuous.
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.
Salary and Allowances
The annual salary for this post is £37,694 plus a discretionary pensionable £3,335 per annum Queen’s Weighting payment which will be paid in monthly instalments. The Junior Research Fellow will be automatically enrolled in the USS pension scheme unless they opt out.
A personal academic allowance of £4,059 per annum is provided by the College for academic activities such as conference attendance, research assistance, and the purchase of books and IT equipment. A further allowance of £5,000 per annum will be available to support the organisation and delivery of academic events that engage College members in responding to the climate change crisis.
