Build your research profile beyond Oxford

I help researchers communicate their work more effectively, grow their online presence, and build an audience they can take with them throughout their careers.

What I do

If you’re a researcher, you may already have a university profile page – but that’s only part of the picture.

I can help you:

  • Develop a clear and consistent online presence
  • Improve your website, LinkedIn, or research profiles
  • Communicate your work in a way that reaches the right audiences
  • Build visibility beyond your institution
  • Lay the groundwork for future funding, collaboration, or career moves

Free 30-minute consultation

I offer a free 30-minute consultation to help you take stock of your current online presence and identify practical next steps.

These sessions are:

  • Focused and tailored to your goals
  • Useful whether you’re just getting started or looking to improve what you already have
  • A chance to ask questions and get clear, honest advice

No obligation, just a constructive conversation.

Testimonials

James was really friendly and easy to talk to and I left our conversation with plenty of food for thought. He flipped my assumptions on their head and offered clear and practical guidance that will be incredibly useful going forward.

Research Fellow, Harris Manchester College

James has a great understanding of the online landscape relevant for academics and lots of relevant actionable suggestions. Our chat helped me identify what aspects of online presence I should to focus on to create the kind impact I am interested in.

Postdoctoral Research Associate, Department of Experimental Psychology

About me

I’m James Baldwin, a communications specialist with experience supporting researchers at the University of Oxford.

I’ve worked in communications roles across the University, including in Research Services and academic departments, helping to translate complex research into accessible, engaging content and supporting researchers’ visibility and engagement.

I now work independently with researchers who want to take a more active role in shaping their professional profile and communication.

What happens next?

After our initial conversation, if it’s helpful, I can offer more structured support – from refining specific platforms (like LinkedIn or personal websites) to developing a broader communication approach.

More details on services and packages will be available soon.
