The Oxford Internet Institute (OII) is the world’s leading centre for research into individual, collective and institutional behaviour on the internet. We are looking for a Research Fellow with a background in internet policy and regulation, or cyber-security to complement our multidisciplinary team.

We are particularly interested in those with expertise on issues such as information security, applications of block chain technologies, machine learning and artificial intelligence, data protection, privacy or copyright. This position offers researchers of outstanding promise or distinction an opportunity to pursue advanced research and teaching within this field. The post holder will be a key part of the research community at the OII and will have full responsibility for managing their own programme of research, publishing in leading journals and representing the Department internationally.

This is an exciting opportunity for a researcher with a doctorate (or near to completion) in a subject such as law, politics, sociology or computer science. Applications from those with a track record of multi-disciplinary research on digital policy issues who have doctorates in other relevant social science disciplines will also be welcomed. The ideal candidate will have a strong publication record, demonstrable experience of policy engagement and a track record in successfully applying for research funding. Candidates demonstrating regional expertise or a critical focus on issues of inequality or discrimination are particularly encouraged to apply.

Based in the heart of Oxford, this post is available immediately and is offered for 3 years in the first instance.
