Hughes Hall

POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS

The College proposes to award at least two non-stipendiary postdoctoral Research Fellowships, tenable for three years from 1 October 2003. These Fellowships may be renewed for a further period of two years.

Candidates who have already held a Junior Research Fellowship at an Oxford or Cambridge College will not normally be considered. To be eligible a candidate should normally have secured, or be in the process of securing, funding commensurate with postdoctoral standing in a Department, Faculty, or other institution of, or associated with the University; must be resident within the precincts of the University on entry to, as well as ordinarily during the tenure of, the Fellowship; and, on election, must be early in their research career.

Formal approval for the Ph.D. Degree must have been obtained before the successful candidates are be able to enter into the tenure of their Fellowship. There are no conditions of age or subject attached to these Fellowships.

Research Fellows are members of the governing body, eligible to sit on College committeees, and will be expected to play an active role in the life of the College. Research Fellows will be entitled to the normal privileges of Fellows of Hughes Hall. Modest financial support may be available when attending meetings as participants and towards expenses associated with research.

Applications should be sent to Dr M. J. Franklin, Registrary, Hughes Hall, Cambridge, CB1 2EW, by 14 February 2003, together with a curriculum vitae, the names of three referees, a statement of not more than 1,000 words outlining present and future research intelligible to a non-specialist, and details of the applicant's present and expected means of financial support.
