The University wishes to appoint a full-time University Lecturership in Evidence-Based Social Intervention from 1 September 2011 or as soon as possible thereafter. The successful candidate will be offered a non-stipendiary fellowship in St Cross College.

The post of University Lecturer is the main career grade for academic faculty at Oxford and is equivalent to an American associate professorship. The title of Professor may be awarded through the regular ‘recognition of distinction’ exercises conducted by the University.

The successful candidate will become a member of the Centre for Evidence-Based Intervention in the Department of Social Policy and Intervention. Applications are invited from academics whose teaching and research interests would extend or complement the existing strengths of the Centre, for example, child or adult mental health, youth or family intervention, and substance misuse. We would especially welcome applicants with expertise in methodologies relating to complex interventions and research design. Relevant disciplinary backgrounds include psychology, social epidemiology, social work, health and social care, and psychiatry.
