Junior Research Fellowships 2015
University of Cambridge – Clare College, Cambridge

Applications are invited for two Junior Research Fellowships in The Arts, tenable for three years.

These Fellowships, which will start on 1 October 2015, are intended for researchers who are in the early stages of their careers.

The successful candidates will have excellent academic records and the potential to continue their research at the highest level. It is expected that the candidates will be either graduate students, in the latter stages of their research leading to a PhD, or post-doctoral researchers who have been awarded their PhD within the last year.

Candidates who have undertaken more than four years full-time research in The Arts will have the opportunity to present their case during the application process. The College is prepared to consider exceptions.

Remuneration for Research Fellows is set by reference to the Cambridge University general stipend and salary scale with a starting point of spine point 39 (£28,695).

It is anticipated that the successful candidate will carry out full-time research for 37.5 per week.

Research Fellows may be invited to undertake a small amount of undergraduate teaching during term. They will not be permitted to undertake other paid work or to hold other offices and awards except by permission of the College Council.

The competition closes at 5pm GMT on Monday 8 December. For more information and to apply go to http://jrf.clare.cam.ac.uk/rf_2015.

Shortlisted candidates will be notified by 23 January 2015 and asked to submit copies of their written works.
