Sidney Sussex College

RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP

The College Council hopes to make an election to a Research Fellowship tenable for three years, to commence on 1 October 2002. There is no restriction as to subject. Candidates must be matriculated members of Sidney Sussex College. It is likely that the successful candidate will be close to submission of his or her Ph.D. at the time of his or her election or will have completed within the last three years.

The pensionable stipend of a Research Fellow is £11,116 a year, or £12,650 if the Fellow holds the Degree of Ph.D. A non-pensionable allowance of £2,343 will also be made to a Fellow not resident in College. The total stipend may be reduced by the Council as a result of other emoluments a Fellow may receive. Increments of £470 are payable in each of the second and third years of tenure, and the level of Research Fellowship emoluments is normally reviewed when the stipends of University and College officers are reviewed - such a review is currently pending.

The holder of a Research Fellowship will be encouraged to teach for the College for up to six hours a week but would require the permission of the Council to undertake other paid work.

Application forms are obtainable from the Senior Tutor. Applications should reach the Senior Tutor by Friday, 7 September 2001 (see below). Applicants should arrange for references from three persons, at least two of whom should have recent knowledge of the applicant's work, to be sent direct to the Senior Tutor, Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, CB2 3HU. References must be received by Friday, 7 September 2001.

RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP IN THE ARTS AND SOCIAL SCIENCES

The College Council hopes to make an election to a Research Fellowship tenable for three years, to commence on 1 October 2002. Candidature will be restricted to those pursuing, or intending to pursue, research in the Arts and Social Sciences. It is likely that the successful candidate will be close to submission of his or her Ph.D. at the time of his or her election or will have completed within the last three years.

The pensionable stipend of a Research Fellow is £11,116 a year, or £12,650 if the Fellow holds the Degree of Ph.D. A non-pensionable allowance of £2,343 will also be made to a Fellow not resident in College. The total stipend may be reduced by the Council as a result of other emoluments a Fellow may receive. A Fellow will also be entitled to a room in College and to Fellow's dining and other rights. Increments of £470 are payable in each of the second and third years of tenure, and the level of Research Fellowship emoluments is normally reviewed when the stipends of University and College officers are reviewed - such a review is currently pending.

The holder of a Research Fellowship will be encouraged to teach for the College for not more than six hours a week but would require the permission of the Council to undertake other paid work.

Application forms are obtainable from the Master's Secretary. Applications should reach the Master's Secretary by Friday, 7 September 2001 (see below).

In each case, each application should include:

(a) a completed application form;

(b) six copies of the following: a list of the applicant's publications and a description of the research work which the applicant has already done, of the work currently in progress, and, so far as is possible, of the lines along which investigation will next proceed. The description of research should not exceed 1,000 words in length and it is important that it should be understandable by a non-specialist. Applicants should be prepared, if required, to submit copies of their published or unpublished works;

(d) the names and addresses of three persons who will be providing references (see above).
