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 2003. 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. Degree at the time of his or her election or will have completed it within the last three years.

The pensionable stipend of a Research Fellow is £11,527 a year, or £13,118 if the Fellow holds the degree of Ph.D. Single residential accommodation will be made available without charge. Alternatively, a non-pensionable allowance of £2,430 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 £488 are payable in each of the second and third years of tenure to Ph.D. Degree holders, 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.
