OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected to start before the end of Hilary Term to allow all future events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed on the Staff Gateway and via email to identified OxTalks users.

Career Options for Staying at Oxford University Beyond Research
Many researchers want to remain in the university environment but are unsure what roles exist beyond academic research and teaching. This panel brings together Oxford University staff who began their careers in academic research and have since moved into a wide range of careers across the University.
Panelists will share their career journeys and how they navigated the move beyond research while staying within Oxford. The session will explore the variety of career paths available, the skills and experience that transfer well, and practical insights for those considering a similar transition. There will be time for questions and discussion.
This event is aimed at PhD students and research staff who are curious about non academic career options within Oxford University and want to make informed, realistic career choices.
Panelists
Dr Monica Palmero Fernandez, Research Practice Coordinator, Research Services, University of Oxford
The 2026 conference booklet will be available closer to the event.
