Many researchers in department will be looking to stay here after their current funding runs out. These are competitive times when it comes to research funding and so it’s good to know of alternative internal avenues you could take when looking for your next role.

This is a quick summary of some internal opportunities and information for (mainly early-career) researchers at Oxford:

Junior Research Fellowships

These posts are generally affiliated with particular colleges, and are advertised via their websites and the Conference of Colleges WebLearn site. (They also usually appear in the Research section of the Oxford University jobs listing.)

Career Development Fellowships

Advertised on a departmental basis and on the Research section of the Oxford University jobs listing. The CDF scheme was set up to attract and retain high quality post-doctoral students to the University. All CDFs are invited to take courses at the Oxford Learning Institute.

Internal/external funding

For information about internal funding opportunities see our Internal funding opportunities and Knowledge Exchange and Impact: internal funding opportunities pages.
