Not yet. I'm working on it. ;-)
Although I have to feel... damn, there has got to me *a lot* of interest
in this. I'm wondering how I make myself stand out as somebody who might
actually be worth interviewing inamoungs the inevitable stampede of
people who think this is a ticket to getting paid to set around all day
playing with equations.

"Our primary locations are Champaign, Boston, Chicago, and Oxford [...]"
Um, maybe a stupid question, but... is there more than one Oxford? (I've
made this mistake with Cambridge a few times; apparently there's a
Cambridge in America somewhere.)

****.
Right. So it's pointless applying to them anyway, since they only reside
in America. Cool.

Are you sure it's a US Oxford? If they had just one UK office, it might be
Oxford. It must say for certain somewhere on the website...

Well, all the other locations listed are definitely in the USA. Seems
logical that the final one would be as well. Unfortunately, there's no
way to check.
I suppose I could apply to them anyway just for the pleasure of being
rejected yet again...

Faulty induction.
Also, there is no well known place called Oxford in the US. If they
said Oxford without clarification, there's a good chance it's in the UK.
But since you're going to argue:

Locations: Champaign, IL (worldwide headquarters); Oxfordshire, UK
(European headquarters); Tokyo, Japan (Asian headquarters); with
additional locations in Cambridge, MA; Paris, France; etc.

I'd tend to say "insufficient information". In that case, you make a
best guess.

OK. I've seen "Cambridge" without qualification several times, when they
actually meant Cambridge MA.

If you want to split hairs, that's Wolfram Research Inc., and I'm
debating applying to Wolfram Alpha LLC - but it would seem completely
plausible that these two companies share the same premises...
