An ideal opportunity for DPhil students in Politics and International Relations.
Applications are welcomed for three Editors to join the Department’s OxPol Blog Editorial Team. The team, line-managed by the DPIR Communications Manager and overseen by Academic Editor(s), will work to develop and publish content that promotes research and analysis from the DPIR community as well as other select cutting-edge researchers and practitioners around the world.
The three roles will each focus on a different primary area of the blog:
- OxPol Submissions Editor
- OxPol Blog Series Editor
- OxPol Podcast Editor
OxPol Blog Editors will represent the blog within the Department and the wider University, particularly helping to raise awareness among the academic and graduate community. The role is vital in supporting content generation: this may be by commissioning content, contributing posts, interviews or podcasts, reviewing and editing the contributions of others, and encouraging new bloggers.
About you
You will possess specialist knowledge of Politics and International Relations and have excellent awareness of current affairs, political blogs and podcasts. It is essential that you have excellent written and oral communication skills, an eye for detail and the ability to innovate and work effectively with colleagues.
Application Process

Applications for this vacancy are to be made online. You will be required to upload a CV and supporting statement and details of two referees as part of your online application. Please state which area of the blog you would like to specialise in in your supporting statement. Only applications received before midday (UK time) on Monday 15 May 2023 can be considered. Please quote reference 164843 on all correspondence.
Interviews are likely to be held in late May / early June and will be held online (although this is to be confirmed).
