International Association
for Cryptologic Research

The Department of Computer Science at the University of Oxford is seeking to appoint two full-time Associate Professors or Professors of Computer Science to start on 1 September 2027. Each post is associated with a college, one with a Tutorial Fellowship at Wadham, the other with an Official Studentship at Christ Church (the Christ Church equivalent of a Tutorial Fellowship). Duties will include undertaking original research in Computer Science, securing funding to support the Department’s research activities, together with teaching and supervision responsibilities for the Department of Computer Science and the College, and Trustee duties (as a member of the Governing Body) at the College. Applicants should hold a doctoral degree in Computer Science or a closely related discipline, have the ability to teach across a range of Computer Science subjects, and will also have a proven research track record of internationally high quality in Computer Science. Applicants should be able to demonstrate a high standard of research potential and achievement depending on experience, and the ability to enthuse and inspire students at both undergraduate and graduate level through tutorials, classes, lectures, and supervision. The University of Oxford uses the grade of Associate Professor for most of its academic appointments. Appointments to Associate can include those at the start of their careers directly from PhD, as well as more established researchers. The Department and colleges offer an exciting research and teaching environment, and an attractive financial package to the successful applicants. Please refer to the Further Particulars for details of the wider benefits package offered by the University and by each of the two colleges. All applicants will automatically be considered for both posts - please do not mention a particular college in your application. Demonstrating a commitment to provide equality of opportunity, we would particularly welcome applications from women and black and minority ethnic applicants who are currently under-represented within the CS Department. All applicants will be judged on merit, according to the selection criteria.
