University of Oxford is seeking a Head of Transition Finance Research to work on the Oxford Sustainable Finance Programme (OxSFP). Aligning finance with sustainability is a necessary condition for tackling the environmental and social challenges facing humanity. It is also necessary for financial institutions and the broader financial system to manage the risks and capture the opportunities associated with the transition to global environmental sustainability. 

The University of Oxford has world-leading researchers and research capabilities relevant to understanding these challenges and opportunities. The OxSFP is the focal point for these activities and is a multidisciplinary research centre working to be the world's best place for research and teaching on sustainable finance and investment. Transition Finance is the provision and use of financial products and services to support counterparties, such as companies, sovereigns, and individuals, realise alignment with environmental and social sustainability.
