In 2025 Oxford will open its new home for humanities, the state-of-the-art Stephen A Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities. This is an opportunity to join the University's Humanities Development team as we work to secure philanthropic support for scholarships, academics and the capital project.
The University of Oxford is a stimulating work environment, which enjoys an international reputation as a world-class centre of excellence. Our research plays a key role in tackling many global challenges, from reducing our carbon emissions to developing vaccines during a pandemic.
We are looking for a new fundraiser to join our energetic team to raise major gifts for a range of posts, scholarships, and other priorities across the Humanities. Oxford is the world's leading university for humanities teaching and research. When it opens, the Schwarzman Centre will bring together seven faculties from the division under one roof for the first time. The University's scholarship in languages, literature, history, philosophy, religion & the arts - from the earliest civilisation to the present day - enriches our understanding of humankind, and informs how we engage with historic issues and contemporary concerns.
