Wolfson College

YAMANOUCHI RESEARCH FELLOW IN CELL BIOLOGY 1999-2002

Wolfson College proposes to elect a Yamanouchi Research Fellow to be funded by the Yamanouchi Research Institute. The Fellow will be expected to undertake research within the University of Oxford in the field of cell biology in relation to human disease. It is hoped that the successful candidate will take up the Fellowship on 1 October 1999 or as soon as can be arranged thereafter. The Fellowship will be tenable for three years. Candidates should normally be under thirty-five years on 1 October 1999.

The annual stipend will be related to that of a University Lecturer (currently £16,655 to £23,651 at age thirty-five) plus any general percentage increase in academic salaries that may come into effect. The Fellow will be permitted to undertake up to six hours' teaching a week. The Fellowship will not be tenable with another stipendiary position. Accommodation (single or family) will be offered (for at least the first year of the Fellowship) at the standard College rental. Fellows are entitled to free meals on Common Table (up to a weekly limit of £30).

Applications, accompanied by a curriculum vitae and the names of two referees, are invited from candidates with at least two years' research experience. Application forms are available from the President's Secretary, Wolfson College, Oxford, OX2 6UD. Applicants should themselves write directly to their referees asking them without further request to send a confidential reference to the President's Secretary. (These may be faxed direct to 01865 274136.)

Candidates should describe in detail in their application the research they propose to carry out, and their qualifications for undertaking it. They would normally be expected to hold a PhD Degree or equivalent. The candidate will normally have made satisfactory arrangements for access to appropriate laboratory facilities. Candidates should state in their application whether they have made such arrangements. A sum of £6,000 a year will be made available directly to the relevant Department towards the cost of research.

Applications and references should be marked on the envelope 'YRF' and should reach the President's Secretary by the closing date: Friday, 7 May 1999. Candidates will be expected to be available for interview in Oxford on Wednesday, 2 June 1999.
