Graduate Teaching and Research Scholar in Computer Science
Oriel College intends to appoint a Graduate Teaching and Research Scholar (GTRS) in Computer Science, commencing on 20 April 2026. The appointment will be for three years.
By the date of appointment, applicants will have completed at least two terms of postgraduate study and will have embarked on a course leading to a DPhil in Computer Science or a related subject at the University of Oxford. Once appointed, the successful applicant will be expected to transfer their College membership to Oriel (with the permission of their current College). The successful candidate will also be required to take a course in tutorial teaching, if they have not already done so.
The person appointed will be expected to teach for the College for 3 to 4 hours per week and to pursue doctoral-level study in any area of Computer Science or a related subject. The precise teaching duties are flexible and can to some extent be adapted to the successful candidate’s areas of expertise and experience. However, preference will be given to candidates who are able to teach several courses from the Prelims and Part A core subjects in Computer Science, and possibly courses related to their area of research.
The GTRS will also be expected to participate in the undergraduate admissions process (normally Week 10 of Michaelmas Term). Admissions training will be provided. The GTRS will be paid for tutorial teaching and admissions at the hourly standard tuition rates as set by the Senior Tutors’ Committee. The Scholar will receive free accommodation (or an allowance of £2,942 per annum if living outside College accommodation) and will also have access to a research allocation of £513 per annum. In addition, the Scholar will be a member of both the Oriel Senior Common Room and the Middle Common Room. They will be entitled to a certain number of free lunches and dinners in the Senior Common Room, and free lunches and dinners in Hall, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the post.
