Work with us

Join our friendly international research community seeking answers to some of the most important questions about the causes, prevention and treatment of disease.

We provide a supportive environment for multi-disciplinary research and teaching and for professional and support staff. Our work is supported by excellent computing and laboratory facilities. Researchers at Oxford Population Health have access to very large data sets and collaborate with academic partners across the world.

In the 2021 Research Excellence Framework (REF), 96% of the research submitted to Unit of Assessment 2: Public Health, Health Services and Primary Care, was ranked either 4* (world-leading in terms of originality, significance and rigour) or 3* (internationally excellent in terms of originality, significance and rigour).

This comprised research from Oxford Population Health and research from the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences. We scored particularly well for having an environment that is conducive to producing research of world-leading quality and enabling outstanding impact, in terms of its vitality and sustainability.

We offer training and development opportunities to help staff to reach their full potential, and staff and students benefit from seminar series on a range of topics, and departmental meetings and symposia. We support flexible working, and the University provides excellent childcare services with five nurseries and supported places at many other private nurseries.

Staff enjoy a range of benefits including regular social events, discounted rates at the University's swimming pool and sports centre, a season ticket loan scheme and free access to the University’s colleges and botanic gardens.
