UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD
Department of Social Policy and Social Work
Professorship of Evidence-Based Intervention
Applications are invited for the above post, tenable from 1 September 2006, or such later date as may be arranged.
The University is seeking an outstanding scholar with a distinguished research record in a field related to social or psychosocial intervention. Disciplinary background may include psychology, prevention science, social work, mental health, criminology, or health care.
The professor will be expected to engage in research and to teach in the field of psychosocial intervention. He or she will be able to demonstrate evidence of teaching excellence at the graduate level and to have experience of working collaboratively in interdisciplinary contexts.
The successful appointee will be associated with the Centre for Evidence-Based Intervention, an expanding research centre which specialises in investigating effectiveness of interventions for social and psychosocial problems, through conducting randomised trials and systematic reviews. The Centre also carries out basic research into causes of social problems. Current funded research has an international focus, including projects on HIV prevention, family and parenting interventions, child psychopathology, antisocial behaviour, social welfare, self-help interventions and sleep disorders. For further details, see www.apsoc.ox.ac.uk/CEBI.html. The professorship will be held in the Department of Social Policy and Social Work. A non-stipendiary fellowship at either St. Hilda's College or Kellogg College is attached to the professorship.
