DPhil
students: I
usually have 2-3 graduate students in my group. I will be
looking for a student to start in the fall of 2023. The
application deadline is in January, the procedures are described
here.
We invite a number of candidates from the UK to interview at
Oxford sometime in February. If you are not from the UK, we may
ask to interview you by Skype or phone. British universities
have limited funding for overseas students. Our intended policy
is that if you are a good candidate, and we make you an offer,
we will find a way to fund you. However, if you come with your
own money (grants or fellowships of some sort) that often makes
it easier for us to accept you.
Postdocs: We tend to consider
applications during the winter (Dec-April). There are many other options
for how to get funds to come here as a postdoc. For example,
there is the prestigious
All-Souls Postdoctoral Fellowship , the
Glasstone Fellowship,
the UK national Newton Fellowships ,
EPSRC Fellowships ,
and so forth. Sometimes the Oxford colleges have Junior
Research Fellowships available as well (look here for announcements). NOTE:
Some of these JRF positions are not enough money to live on
and are meant to supplement other fellowships. There may also
be fellowships available from your home country. In all cases,
coming here as a postdoc must be approved by our entire group
so make sure you send an official application etc.
Research Projects:
I can't be too
specific as to what particularly projects I will be interested
in at any given time. I do like to stay on the forefront of
science, which means that a project I think up right now will
probably be no longer current in six months time. In order to
get an idea of the kind of things I work on, I recommend looking
at my
recent publications.
