OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
The Oxford History Faculty welcomes applications from suitably qualified applicants for this year’s British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship scheme, for awards to be taken up in autumn 2021. The scheme is designed to “offer opportunities for outstanding early career researchers to strengthen their experience of research and teaching in a university environment which will develop their curriculum vitae and improve their prospects of obtaining permanent lecturing posts by the end of the Fellowship. The primary emphasis is on completion of a significant piece of publishable research”. Further details can be found on the British Academy website at www.thebritishacademy.ac.uk/funding/postdoctoral-fellowships.
The Faculty will be holding an online briefing session for potential applicants to this year’s round of applications via Teams. This briefing will be hosted by the Faculty’s Research Director, Julia Smith, and current award holder, Dr Lucy Parker. This session will cover: the application process; how to decide whether to apply; what makes a strong application; tips and advice from a current award holder.
We invite anyone who is interested in applying for this scheme to attend this online event-please email rf@history.ox.ac.uk to register your attendance.
