Temps plein ; poste à contrat déterminé d’une durée de trois ans

Oxford vise à établir la norme en matière de collecte de fonds universitaires en Europe et c’est un endroit formidable où travailler comme collecteur de fonds. L’université d’Oxford est un leader international en termes de bourses en Humanités et elle a été nommée « Université de l’année 2022 » par The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide.

La Voltaire Foundation est un centre reconnu à l’échelle mondiale pour les bourses sur le XVIIIe siècle et l’étude du siècle des Lumières. Le XVIIIe siècle, ou « l’âge de la raison » était l’époque des géants intellectuels, comme Franklin, Jefferson, Hume, Locke, Montesquieu, Rousseau, et bien sûr Voltaire. Dans le cadre de leur défense acharnée de la raison humaine, ils ont établi les bases de l’égalité et de la tolérance qui sont au cœur de la réflexion libérale moderne. Ce rôle consistera à recueillir des fonds pour les priorités de financement interdisciplinaires liées aux études sur le siècle des Lumières, ainsi qu’à d’excellentes nouvelles opportunités dans le secteur des Humanités numériques.
