Research Fellowships, Quantum Science and Technology
The College is seeking to appoint two new Research Fellows, from amongst existing postdoctoral members of the University, to start at the college in September 2025. These Fellows will act as college advisors to the College’s students on the new Masters in Quantum Technologies programme, amongst others. As such, familiarity with this interdisciplinary field would be desirable, but not essential. The Research Fellows would join the College as part of its AI & Machine Learning theme, currently led by Dr Ani Calinescu.
Fellows will be expected to fully engage in the life of Reuben, the University’s newest College, as outlined in the further particulars. As part of this, Fellows are expected to engage in regular activities at the College and in the support of its postgraduate students. Successful candidates will be elected to a Research Fellowship for a fixed term of three years, subject to a review at the end of the first year.
This is not an employment position; to be eligible, applicants must be currently employed by the University in a Grade 7 or 8 postdoctoral research post.
Interviews are likely to be held on Thursday 31 July.
Deadline: noon, Friday 4 July
Official Fellowships (Governing Body), AI & Machine Learning
Reuben College seeks to recruit up to two new Official Fellows, starting September 2025.
In the 2025-26 academic year, we plan for there to be at least eight Official Fellows (Governing Body Fellows), plus the Head of House, within the AI & Machine Learning Theme at Reuben. In response to growing student numbers in this area, we are looking particularly for colleagues working in Machine Learning and/or Quantum Computing, to expand and complement the academic interests of current members.
To be eligible, applicants must be currently employed by the University in an RSIV, Grade 10, or 9 post, or in an 8 post if they are an independent researcher in an area related to the relevant theme.
Successful candidates will be elected to a Fellowship on a five-year renewable basis, with a midterm review, and with renewal dependent on satisfactory performance in college duties. However, a Fellowship at the College does not itself constitute employment and does not confer any rights to employment with the University.
As a Fellow of Reuben College, the postholder will have a role to play in the governance of the College through their membership of Governing Body and its subsidiary committees, and in the support of its graduate students and diverse interdisciplinary activities.
Official Fellows receive College membership and benefits including an annual allowance (of currently £3,000 per annum).
To apply
Please send a (maximum) 10-page CV and covering letter to the President’s Executive Assistant (president-pa@reuben.ox.ac.uk).
This CV, attached as a pdf, should include your publications list, and a supporting statement (a) specifying your relevant skills and experience; and (b) describing how you would be able to contribute to the college.
Interviews for shortlisted candidates will take place on Tuesday 5 August.
Deadline: noon, Friday 11 July
