RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS

Emmanuel College

The Governing Body of Emmanuel College invites applications from men and women for three Research Fellowships in any subject and tenable for three years from 1 October 2004. Applicants must not have completed more than a total of eight years of post-graduate research by 1 October 2004.

The stipend for Research Fellows is related to the national academic scale, and a salary award is pending. The current stipend for pre-doctoral (resp. post-doctoral) Research Fellows is £16,150 (resp. £17,782) and £17,206 (resp. £18,838), according as the Fellow is resident or non-resident in College. Pre-doctoral Research Fellows will be responsible for any University fee they incur up to the level of a UK postgraduate student (the College will contribute the difference if a higher fee is applicable). A limited amount of teaching in College is permitted, for which payment will be made at the usual rate.

Additional benefits provided for Research Fellows will include grants for research expenses and academic travel, a book allowance, and assistance with computing facilities. Research Fellows will be given the option to live in College (although no married accommodation can be provided), and will be provided with lunch and dinner in Hall free of charge.

Requests for application forms should be directed, in writing, to the Research Fellowships' Secretary, Emmanuel College, Cambridge CB2 3AP, by 5.00 p.m. on Friday, 17 October, enclosing a large self-addressed envelope, or can be received via the Emmanuel College website at www.emma.cam.ac.uk/resfell.

(i) THREE copies of their application form;

(ii) THREE copies of a statement of not more than 1,000 words outlining their completed and proposed research, in a form which is intelligible to a non-specialist.

Candidates should also arrange for two people familiar with their work to send references to the Research Fellowships' Secretary so as to reach her by Thursday, 23 October 2003. The appropriate forms for referees' use will be supplied to applicants, and will be included with the application forms.

Selected candidates will be invited, by letter dated 27 November 2003, to submit by Tuesday, 9 December 2003 copies of any published or unpublished work with which they wish to support their application.
