The Oxford Internet Institute (OII) is a multidisciplinary research and teaching department of the University of Oxford, dedicated to the social science of the Internet.
Digital connections are now embedded in almost every aspect of our daily lives, and research on individual and collective behaviour online is crucial to understanding our social, economic, and political world.

Based at the OII in the heart of Oxford and with the opportunity for a mix of office-based and remote working, this post is available immediately and is fixed term until 31st December 2025.
Tasks will involve:
- Leading OII’s media and public relations
- Managing proactive and reactive news stories through networking with media, students and academic staff
- Delivering a regular stream of high-quality, SEO-optimised and engaging content for the Institute’s digital channels
- Development of the internal communications and engagement plan for the OII
- Managing a small budget for activities related to communications and public relations
- Ensuring that departmental communications follow the University guidelines on branding
- Planning and overseeing marketing campaigns including the production of promotional materials for departmental campaigns and events
The ideal candidate will have demonstrable experience and evidence of success in media and public relations, excellent attention to detail, writing and editing skills, proficient computer skills, and experience of project management.
