Dear All,

Postdoctoral Researcher in Social Science Transformations of Biosecurity
School of Geography and the Environment, South Parks Road, Oxford, OX1 3QY
Join a pioneering European Research Council Advanced Grant project reshaping how biosecurity is understood and practised. BIOSSCI: Social Science Transformations of Biosecurity develops innovative, socially grounded approaches to disease threats affecting animal and human health — learning from those who manage biological risks in everyday settings rather than relying solely on top-down models.

Working with Professor Stephen Hinchliffe, you will design and deliver research examining UK farm animal health and biosecurity policy and practice. Through in-depth engagement with farmers, veterinarians, policymakers and scientists, you will build an account of how animal health is organised and enacted in practice. This work will contribute to a wider comparative programme with collaborators in Bangladesh and South Africa, generating new conceptual and methodological approaches to biosecurity governance.

You will hold, or be close to completion of, a PhD/DPhil, and bring strong qualitative research experience, including fieldwork, interviews, participant observation and qualitative data analysis. You will be confident managing your own research activities, contributing to high-quality publications, and working collaboratively within an international team. Excellent communication skills and a commitment to inclusive and respectful research environments are essential.

This is an exceptional opportunity to contribute to an internationally significant research programme and help shape new directions in the social science of biosecurity.

This post is fixed term for 3 years with the possibility for an extension and offered on a full time basis (1 FTE / 37.5 hours)
