RAMON JENKINS SENIOR RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP

The College invites applications for a Ramon Jenkins Senior Research Fellowship.

The purpose of the Fellowship is to encourage research in the Biological, Medical, or Physical Sciences. Applicants should be experienced in research at the postdoctoral level, and will be expected to conduct their research mainly in the University of Cambridge or an associated Institute. However, the appointment is not tenable with a University teaching appointment, or with professional practice, or with any other substantial emolument. The Fellowship is appropriate for applicants who are at a comparatively early stage of their academic career.

The Fellowship is tenable for three years in the first instance but may be renewed for a further period or periods, but an overall tenure of more than four years would be unusual. It is hoped that the Fellow will take up the appointment not later than 1 October 2002.

The stipend and allowances of the Ramon Jenkins Senior Research Fellowship range at present from £15,822 to £23,256 a year, the initial stipend to be decided by the College Council after taking into account the qualifications, age, seniority, and other circumstances of the applicant. The stipend of the Fellowship is pensionable under arrangements to be approved by the College. In addition, the College Council may make payments to, or for the benefit of, the Ramon Jenkins Senior Research Fellow towards the expenses of research, including expenses of travel and publication. The level of Research Fellowship emoluments is normally reviewed when the stipends of University and College officers are reviewed.

As a Fellow of the College in Class C, the Ramon Jenkins Senior Research Fellowship will be a member of the Governing Body and eligible for membership of the elective College Council, and will be offered a room or rooms in College and the other usual amenities of a Fellowship. The Fellow may not undertake work other than research without the permission of the College Council, but a moderate amount of teaching would be welcomed, and College teaching would be remunerated separately.

Applications should reach The Master, Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, CB2 3HU, not later than Friday, 30 November 2001, and should include the following:

1. a completed application form, obtainable from the Master's Secretary;

2. six copies of a curriculum vitae, giving full name, address, date and place of birth, nationality, together with details of education, academic qualifications and career, and other awards and distinctions;

3. details of present appointment, and date when the applicant would be free to begin holding the Fellowship;

4. six copies of a brief account of the applicant's original work to date listing any publications (copies of which may be requested by the College);

5. six copies of a statement of the work the applicant would wish to undertake and his or her reasons for wishing to conduct it in, or from, Cambridge;

6. names and addresses of three persons, who may be approached for testimonials.

The College reserves the right not to make an election.

The College is an equal opportunities employer.
