Nuffield is a graduate college of the University of Oxford specialising in the Social Sciences, particularly Economics, Politics, and Sociology. It aims to provide a stimulating research-orientated environment for postgraduate students (about 75 in number) and faculty (approximately 60 academic fellows of the College). Nuffield College, which was founded in 1937, is located in the centre of Oxford. Most of Nuffield's fellows hold appointments at the University of Oxford as professors or associate professors. The College fully funds a number of Official Fellowships, which the College views as tenured research professorships (although most also teach on the University's graduate programme). We have a vibrant and growing programme of three year post-doctoral research fellows. The College also houses a number of young scholars who hold distinguished awards, such as British Academy post-doctoral fellowships, some senior research fellows and a group of research active emeritus & honorary fellows.
