Research Fellowships
The Centre is seeking outstanding researchers in economics, law, taxation and related fields, such as corporate finance, investment, location, fiscal policy and governance. Research Fellows will be expected to carry out high quality independent research into business taxation under the guidance of the Centre's Director and Research Director and other senior staff. Research output should be primarily aimed at leading peer-reviewed academic journals; however, all researchers in the Centre should be prepared to contribute to policy-related output. The fellow will be expected to lead significant project areas and make a significant contribution to research grant applications.

Studentship Competition 2012
The Centre for Business Taxation is offering up to three studentships for study towards a DPhil at the University of Oxford, commencing in 2012. These studentships are available to students undertaking research related to business taxation, broadly defined, and may be based in any relevant discipline including economics, law, management, or political science.
The level of Studentship offered may vary, but the maximum award would cover University and College fees, as well as a maintenance grant equivalent to the level provided to ESRC studentships linked to research grants, which is currently £13,590 per annum (subject to confirmation).
Application procedure
a) Candidates should complete an application form, available to download here, and return it to the Centre Manager by the closing date, 20 January 2012.
b) All candidates must apply separately for a place on a relevant DPhil programme at the University of Oxford. Candidates should check carefully the closing date for their particular programme.
Informal enquiries can be made to the Centre Director, Professor Michael Devereux.
Please note that applicants must still submit a DPhil application to their desired University department in order to be considered for the doctoral programme via the normal admissions process. The doctoral programme pages of the School website provide additional information about how to apply to the University. Applicants should note that the deadline for applying to the DPhil programme is before the deadline for this studentship. Applicants who wish to be considered for this award need to state their interest in the 'Scholarships' section of the degree application form as well as sending in the Centre's specific application form. Please note that these applications must be submitted by the deadline set out by the Department to which you are applying.
