Eleanor Rathbone Professor of Contemporary European History

Academic

Deadline: Monday 26 January 2026

The Faculty of History is seeking applications for the Eleanor Rathbone Professorship of Contemporary European History, available as soon as possible.

This new senior post is intended to reinforce Oxford’s reputation as a major centre for research and teaching in the field of Contemporary European History. We wish to appoint a historian who will extend the Faculty’s expertise into the history of the European present. We would welcome applications from scholars with expertise in the history of Europe from the 1970s onwards and who engage with the history of the European present in the early twenty-first century and the profound changes that have taken place in many areas of Europe over the last twenty-five years.

The Rathbone Professor will be based at St Antony’s College, where they will maintain and develop the legacy of the work and scholarship undertaken on the contemporary history of Europe by Professor Timothy Garton Ash. It is intended that the appointee will be an established scholar who will combine innovative scholarship and teaching with a wider profile of intellectual engagement. Their work should engage with the history of contemporary Europe as a whole, challenging conventional paradigms of east and west in the era of the Cold War. They will be expected to lead the growth of Contemporary European History within Oxford, including new teaching options on recent and current European history, funded grant applications, workshops, public events and outreach, broadly defined.

Applicants should possess an excellent record of innovative archival research using one or more European languages; a significant record of publications; the capacity to inspire others; and an ability to communicate the importance of history for an understanding of the contemporary identity of Europe.

For more information and to apply please visit the Oxford University jobs site. The closing date for applications is 12:00 noon UK time on Monday 26 January 2026. Interviews are expected to be held in spring 2026.

Informal enquiries are welcome and may be made in strict confidence to Professor Martin Conway, Chair of the History Faculty Board (martin.conway@history.ox.ac.uk).

About Fiji

Fiji  is an island country in the South Pacific Ocean about 1,100 nautical miles northeast of New Zealand's North Island.

Its closest neighbours are Vanuatu to the west, New Caledonia to the southwest, New Zealand's Kermadec Islands to the southeast, Tonga to the east, the Samoas and France's Wallis and Futuna to the northeast, and Tuvalu to the north.

Fiji is an archipelago of more than 330 islands, of which 110 are permanently inhabited, and more than 500 islets, amounting to a total land area of about 18,300 square kilometres (7,100 sq mi). The majority of Fiji's islands were formed through volcanic activity.

The two major islands, Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, account for 87% of the total population of 898,760. The capital, Suva on Viti Levu, serves as Fiji's principal cruise port. About three-quarters of Fijians live on Viti Levu's coasts, either in Suva or in smaller urban centres like Nadi or Lautoka.

Fiji has one of the most developed economies in the Pacific due to an abundance of forest, mineral, and fish resources. Fiji's main industries are tourism and sugar exports.

The climate in Fiji is tropical marine and warm year round with minimal extremes. The warm season is from November to April and the cooler season lasts from May to October. Temperatures in the cool season still average 22 °C (72 °F). Nice!

The population of Fiji is mostly made up of native Fijians, who are Melanesians (54.3%), although many also have Polynesian ancestry, and Indo-Fijians (38.1%), descendants of Indian contract labourers brought to the islands by the British colonial powers in the 19th century.

The concept of family and community is of great importance to Fijian culture. Within the indigenous communities many members of the extended family will adopt particular titles and roles of direct guardians. Kinship is determined through a child's lineage to a particular spiritual leader, so that a clan is based on traditional customary ties as opposed to actual biological links.  

Rugby Union is the most-popular team sport played in Fiji.

[Source: Wikipedia. Read more about these beautiful islands here.]  

Fiji has 33 people groups and one of these is considered unreached with the good news of the gospel.

The largest religion is Christianity at 63% and of these, 24% profess to be evangelical. The next largest religions are: Hindu at 29%, and Islam at 5%.

My name is ‘Stephen,’

I’m a young guy looking for fun folk to join my team.

Let me tell you a bit about myself…

I love listening to music about the house and hearing my team singing along, I also enjoy watching my tv shows. I have my own way of communicating and once you get

to know me you will understand me and my wicked sense of humour, I find slapstick humour particularly funny.

As much as I like going for drives, so a driver would be essential, and listening to

music is fun, I do love getting some fresh air and going for walks in my All Terrain Wheelchair. All that fresh air works up an appetite so If you like your food then we

could be a good match as I do like a good scran. If you are good with plans then

I love it as there is nothing I like more than when a plan comes together.

If you think you would have fun being part of my team, please contact Jessica on 07814 738451 or apply online today.

This role may be perfect for you if you are currently, or have been, a Healthcare Assistant and are looking for a part-time role (minimum contract 22.5 hours). At Noah’s Ark you'll have opportunity to build on your experience and be trained to a more specialist level.

ABOUT NOAH'S ARK CHILDREN'S HOSPICE

We exist to help babies, children and young people with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions, and their families, make the most of every day. Our mission is to enable those we support to enjoy life as children, not patients; as families, not just as carers.

Because everyone deserves to live life as themselves, beyond their condition or circumstances. We do this by listening to families. We know one size doesn’t fit all, so we cater our services to each individual person we support. We can do this from the point of diagnosis.

Our help is available wherever it is needed. Our expert staff and trained volunteers can provide support in a families home, in the community, or at our state-of-the-art building, The Ark, in Barnet.

We work in collaboration with key NHS Trusts and other care providers to deliver the very best support to children and families. We have created a space where children with complex needs are accepted as they are, safe to play, explore, express themselves and build confidence.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re expanding our team and are looking for more Specialist Carers to join our charity. You’ll be joining an award-winning, certified Outstanding team, who do all they can to empower children and families to experience as much life as possible.

As a Specialist Carer, you’ll provide life-changing care for babies, children and young people with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions. You’ll do this by working in collaboration with their family, multidisciplinary teams and your other Noah’s Ark colleagues.

You’ll be encouraged to put the experience of children and families at the heart of all you do. As well as understanding their clinical needs, you’ll get to know what’s important to each child you support. Whether it’s knowing what their favourite song to listen to is, how they like to play, or what sooths them when they are sad - at Noah’s Ark it’s so important that each child is treated as an individual. You’ll focus on what children can do, rather than their limitations, and will support them to experience things they may never have thought possible.

And by providing care for children, either at our state-of-the art building, The Ark, or out in the community, you’ll be allowing parents and cares to take some time for themselves. The hours of care you’ll provide will make a huge difference, allowing them to live life outside of their child’s condition. By creating this time, you’ll be creating choice – something which can feel impossible for the families we support.

You will be a senior carer in our team and will pass on your skills and experience by supporting and training junior colleagues. You will actively lead care planning reviews, projects and meetings.

Your commitment to children and families will continue through to end-of-life care. You’ll be a guiding reassuring presence for families, and working with other healthcare professionals to create as much comfort as possible.

ABOUT YOU

You’ll have experience caring for babies, children and young people with complex health needs and will be competent in a range of complex nursing skills. You’ll understand the power of play and will enjoy creating experiences and activities for those you are caring for.

This role may be perfect for you if you are currently, or have been, a Healthcare Assistant. At Noah’s Ark you'll have opportunity to build on your experience and be trained to a more specialist level.

ABOUT NOAH'S ARK CHILDREN'S HOSPICE

We exist to help babies, children and young people with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions, and their families, make the most of every day. Our mission is to enable those we support to enjoy life as children, not patients; as families, not just as carers.

Because everyone deserves to live life as themselves, beyond their condition or circumstances. We do this by listening to families. We know one size doesn’t fit all, so we cater our services to each individual person we support. We can do this from the point of diagnosis.

Our help is available wherever it is needed. Our expert staff and trained volunteers can provide support in a families home, in the community, or at our state-of-the-art building, The Ark, in Barnet.

We work in collaboration with key NHS Trusts and other care providers to deliver the very best support to children and families. We have created a space where children with complex needs are accepted as they are, safe to play, explore, express themselves and build confidence.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re expanding our team and are looking for more Specialist Carers to join our charity. You’ll be joining an award-winning, certified Outstanding team, who do all they can to empower children and families to experience as much life as possible.

As a Specialist Carer, you’ll provide life-changing care for babies, children and young people with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions. You’ll do this by working in collaboration with their family, multidisciplinary teams and your other Noah’s Ark colleagues.

You’ll be encouraged to put the experience of children and families at the heart of all you do. As well as understanding their clinical needs, you’ll get to know what’s important to each child you support. Whether it’s knowing what their favourite song to listen to is, how they like to play, or what sooths them when they are sad - at Noah’s Ark it’s so important that each child is treated as an individual. You’ll focus on what children can do, rather than their limitations, and will support them to experience things they may never have thought possible.

And by providing care for children, either at our state-of-the art building, The Ark, or out in the community, you’ll be allowing parents and cares to take some time for themselves. The hours of care you’ll provide will make a huge difference, allowing them to live life outside of their child’s condition. By creating this time, you’ll be creating choice – something which can feel impossible for the families we support.

You will be a senior carer in our team and will pass on your skills and experience by supporting and training junior colleagues. You will actively lead care planning reviews, projects and meetings.

Your commitment to children and families will continue through to end-of-life care. You’ll be a guiding reassuring presence for families, and working with other healthcare professionals to create as much comfort as possible.

ABOUT YOU

You’ll have experience caring for babies, children and young people with complex health needs and will be competent in a range of complex nursing skills. You’ll understand the power of play and will enjoy creating experiences and activities for those you are caring for.

Aside from experience, we look for individuals who share our core values of kindness, excellence, and courage. We’ll support you to go above and beyond to be there for the children and families we support – we ask that you share this mission with us.
