Oxford Seeks To Hire Two Business Tax Research Fellows
Oxford Centre For Business Taxation seeks to hire two business tax research fellows:
The Centre for Business Taxation at the Saïd Business School, Oxford University, is seeking outstanding researchers: one in in law, and one in economics or a related field, such as accounting or finance. The Research Fellows will be expected to undertake and lead independent, high quality academic research into business taxation under the guidance of the Centre’s Director and other senior staff; to contribute to generating research income; to teach at graduate level on the MSc Taxation; and to engage in policy debate with government, business representatives and the media. Research output should primarily be aimed at leading peer-reviewed academic journals; however, all researchers in the Centre should also be prepared to contribute to policy-related output.
