The Oxford University Centre for Business Taxation is a leading independent, interdisciplinary research centre that undertakes a broad research programme related to business taxation, including the impact of taxes on firm behaviour and the welfare effects of such behaviour, and the design of taxation and fiscal policy.

The centre is seeking an outstanding researcher in economics, to work as part of a team on a large ESRC award. We welcome applications from researchers in taxation and related fields, such as corporate finance, investment, location, fiscal policy and governance.

The successful applicant will be expected to undertake research in a relevant aspect of business taxation, under the guidance and supervision of the Director. 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. The successful applicant will contribute to developing the centre’s public profile by taking part in external activities as required by the Director and take responsibility for planning aspects of the research project(s), setting deadlines, monitoring progress against milestones and keeping the Director informed of progress.

This post is fixed-term for 3 years.

You will have the ability to undertake international quality research in a related discipline relevant to the centre and the ability and willingness to represent the centre at external events and communicate research findings effectively both in writing and in presentation form.

Please submit two references with your application.

The closing date for applications is 12.00 noon on Friday 6 December 2013.
