This position is part of the University Research Priority Program (URPP) "Human Reproduction Reloaded".

You are responsible for supporting the Chair with

• background research on issues pertaining to family law, medical law, legal gender studies, human rights and reproduction law and the finalisation of academic publication on top international legal journals and with international publishers
• organisation of an international workshop leading to the publication of the Oxford Handbook on Families and the Law (scheduled for June 2026)
• teaching-related tasks, eg preparing OLAT course pages and communication with students taking courses offered by the Chair.
