Associate Professorships in Economics (Two Posts)

The Department of Economics, together with Mansfield College and Trinity College, is recruiting for two Associate Professorships in Economics, to commence in September 2027 or as soon as possible thereafter.

These are two distinct posts:

  • Associate Professor of Economics and Tutorial Fellow in Economics at Mansfield College
  • Associate Professor of Economics and Tutorial Fellow in Economics at Trinity College

The successful candidates will be members of the Department of Economics and will undertake independent research, undergraduate and graduate teaching, and student supervision. The roles will also include administrative and pastoral responsibilities within both the Department and the respective College.

We welcome applications from candidates conducting research in any field of Economics.

Appointments at Associate Professor level may be made both to candidates at the beginning of their academic careers, including those applying directly from a PhD, and to more established researchers.

Applicants should demonstrate a high standard of research achievement and potential, commensurate with their career stage, together with the ability to inspire and engage students through tutorials, classes, lectures, and supervision. Candidates should also demonstrate a commitment to fostering an inclusive and supportive academic environment and promoting equality, diversity, and inclusion in the workplace.

The appointments are for five years in the first instance, with the expectation of reappointment until retirement following a successful review.

The Department and Colleges offer an outstanding research and teaching environment together with an attractive financial package.

How to Apply:

Please submit your application by 13 November 2026 (midnight UTC) via EconJobMarket: EJM - Econ Job Market

A single application will be considered for both posts. Please address your cover letter to both colleges. Your application will be considered for any Associate Professor Tutorial Fellow position available in this academic year.

Initial online interviews with the hiring committee will take place during the European Job Market on 14-17 December 2026.

Based on the online interviews, shortlisted candidates will be invited to Oxford and asked to:

  • Deliver a one-hour research presentation.
  • Attend an interview with members of the Department of Economics and the relevant College.
  • Deliver a teaching presentation to undergraduate students and respond to questions from the student audience.

Applications received after the closing date may be considered until the positions are filled.
