RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS

Applications are invited for two Research Fellowships to be held in any subject. The Fellowships are tenable for three years, ordinarily from 1 October 2001. However, successful candidates may start their Fellowship on any date of their choice between 1 January and 1 October 2001. The Fellowships are open to graduates of, or research students in, universities in the United Kingdom. It is hoped to elect men or women who, on 1 October 2000, will, in the College's view, have completed not more than four years of research. Any application from a person who completed the course for his or her first degree before 1 June 1996 should, therefore, be accompanied by a statement of his or her occupation or employment since completing that course.

A Research Fellow may be invited to undertake a small amount of undergraduate teaching during Term, but will not be permitted to undertake other paid work or to hold other offices and awards except by permission of the College Council.

A Research Fellow is entitled to the privileges of a Fellow, including rooms and some meals. Some privileges will be available immediately after election, in December 2000, before admission to the Fellowship. Remuneration for a Research Fellow who has not proceeded to the Ph.D. Degree ranges at present from £11,125 in the second year of research to £11,900 in the fourth, subject to a deduction if the Fellow is resident in College. Research Fellows not resident in College receive a 'living-out' allowance, currently of £1,054 a year. Children's allowances are also payable. Remuneration of a post-Ph.D. Fellow ranges at present from £12,178 to £13,930 with the same allowances, deductions, and charges. Further details of the Fellowships and application forms may be obtained from the Research Fellowships Secretary, Jesus College, Cambridge, CB5 8BL.

The completed application form, together in each case with a statement of not more than 1,000 words outlining the applicant's present and proposed research, must be received in the College by 15 September 2000. Candidates must also arrange that testimonials are sent directly to the College, to be received not later than this same date, by two referees familiar with their work.

At the beginning of October 2000, short-listed candidates will be asked to submit two copies of a dissertation or other written work by 9 October 2000. Candidates should therefore ensure that they can be easily contacted at this time. If this work is not received by the deadline, the candidate will be deemed to have withdrawn from the competition. The submitted work need not be in its final form but must provide evidence of outstanding originality and promise. Candidates will not normally be called for interview.
