The College proposes to elect up to six non-stipendiary Junior Research Fellows in Humanities and Social Studies, if candidates of sufficient merit present themselves, without limitation of subject, for two years in the first instance, from 1 October 2003. A Fellowship is renewable for a further term of two years subject to certain conditions. Candidates should have had at least three years' relevant postgraduate experience by commencement of the Fellowship, and in the case of postdoctoral applicants, no more than three years should have elapsed since receipt of a doctorate. For full details and an application form please see below.
a) HUMANITIES: European civilization of the medieval and modern periods. Languages, literature, art, music (to include English; any literature written in English; Latin-American Literature, etc.)
b) INDOLOGY
The College proposes to make one election to a stipendiary Junior Research Fellowship in each of the above two subject areas, for three years, to commence on 1 October 2003 at an annual stipend of £12,445 plus any general percentage increase in academic salaries that may come into effect, together with single accommodation (or an allowance in lieu) and Common Table meals. Candidates should have had at least three years' relevant postgraduate experience by commencement of the Fellowship, and in the case of postdoctoral applicants, no more than three years should have elapsed since receipt of a doctorate.
Indology only. The Fellow may be permitted to spend up to half the period of his or her tenure away from Oxford, if this is necessary for research purposes. The cost of one return air ticket to the area of study will, in an appropriate case, be offered during the three year tenure.
For full details of both Fellowships and an application form please see below.
One Charter Fellowship, to be chosen from the above subject areas, will be offered for one year from 1 October 2004. The timescale is designed to enable the successful candidate to apply for sabbatical leave from his/her home university. Applications are invited from persons holding a University Lecturership (or comparable position in the UK or abroad). The Fellow will be expected to carry out research in Oxford for at least one University term, but may hold the Fellowship for up to one academical year in all. The Fellowship carries with it Common Table meals but no stipend, however the College will make available up to £2,000 towards appropriate expenses in connection with the Fellowship. College accommodation at the normal rent may be available. For full details and an application form please see below.
Wolfson College proposes to make elections to two two-year Wolfson/AEA Technology Industrial Fellowships to commence on 1 October 2003. These Fellowships are intended to enable those working at AEA Technology or in industry to come to Oxford to engage in a joint research project with a University Department. The intention is that these Fellowships should give an opportunity for collaborative research which would not otherwise have taken place, but the College is prepared to receive proposals in respect of already established research projects. Proposers will be expected to negotiate an agreement with the company by whom the candidate is employed, under which the company would continue to pay his or her full salary but would permit him or her to spend one-fifth of his/her time on a joint research project in Oxford. The College is willing to consider a variation from this pattern to suit current conditions or individual circumstances. The College will offer up to £1,000 a year towards any expense reasonably incurred in pursuance of the aims of the Fellowship. For full details and an application form please see below.
The closing date for applications for all the above Fellowships is 17 March 2003. For full details and an application form for any of the above, please send a stamped, self-addressed envelope to the President's Secretary, Wolfson College, Oxford, OX2 6UD. (The College reserves the right not to accept applications received after the closing date.)
