Full job description

The Department of Politics and International Relations (DPIR) is one of Oxford’s largest and most internationally recognised departments, home to around 90 academic staff and a thriving community of researchers and visitors.

One of the most generous family leave schemes in UK higher education, offering up to 26 weeks of full-pay maternity and adoption leave, plus 12 weeks of full-pay paternity/partner leave.
A commitment to hybrid and flexible working to suit your lifestyle.
An excellent contributory pension scheme.

About the Role
The Centre for Democratic Resilience is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Computational Social Science and Text Analysis to contribute to its Higher Education and Democratic Resilience Programme. The programme examines threats to academic freedom, institutional autonomy and the integrity of higher education, with a primary focus on Germany and a broader comparative perspective across democratic systems.

Working closely with an interdisciplinary team of political scientists, legal scholars and practitioners, the postholder will play a central role in shaping the programme’s computational research agenda.

About You

You will lead the computational analysis of legal, regulatory and political texts, using methods from computational social science and natural language processing to identify and monitor emerging risks to higher education institutions.

You will develop innovative approaches to analysing complex textual data, contribute to the interpretation and communication of findings, and support efforts to understand and anticipate vulnerabilities within higher education systems. Furthermore, you must hold or be close to completion of a doctorate in political science or a related field.

This position is full-time and fixed term for 3 years and available from 1 October 2026.If you have any questions about the role, please contact the DPIR HR Team at [email protected]. All enquiries will be treated in strict confidence and will not form part of the selection decision.
