Dr Justine Pila is looking for one or two research assistants to work on the following tasks:
- first, to help organise a conference being held in Oxford in October 2013 on the unitary (EU) patent system;

The work is to start immediately and is expected to run for up to 12 months. The hours will vary, but the assistant or assistants will be expected to work up to one day per week.
 
Reporting
The post will report to Dr Justine Pila.

Requirements
An interest in patent law, European harmonization, and/or legal history is desirable.
A knowledge of OCR and archive software will be a great advantage for anyone seeking to assist with the third task.

Eligibility
This post is open to current graduate students in the Law Faculty and the hours are in line with the restrictions on working hours for students.

Professor Simon Whittaker is looking for one or more research assistants to help with aspects of a book on EU contract law.
 
Duration and hours
The work is to start from June 2013 and will run until September 2013.  The work on this project may take up to 100 hours in total.
If you are on course as a graduate student, you will not be required to work for more than 6 hours in any given week.
It is possible to do the work in a part of the summer vacation – it is not essential to spread it over the entire break, but most work will be required early in the vacation.  Precise timings and arrangements will be discussed with the successful applicant(s).
 
Reporting
The post will report to Professor Whittaker.
 
Requirements
A general  understanding of contract law and of  general EU law is essential. 
No special knowledge of EU contract law is necessary, though it would be an advantage.
The main areas for research assistance are EU employment law and EU procurement law and background in either of these areas would therefore be an advantage.

The work can be done in any place where you have access to a good library, but you must be able to travel to Oxford for occasional meetings during the summer break.

Eligibility
This post is open to current or future graduate research students in the Law Faculty and the hours are in line with the restrictions on working hours for students.
