The Library Syndicate invite applications for the Munby Fellowship in Bibliography, tenable for the academical year 1 October 2006 to 30 September 2007.
The Munby Fellow will be free to pursue bibliographical research of his/her own choosing. It is, however, expected that the Fellow's research will be, at least in part, based directly or indirectly on the collections of the University and Colleges of Cambridge and likely to be of benefit, in the broadest sense, to scholars using those collections in the future. The Fellow will have no departmental or other staff duties and responsibilities.
The Fellowship is open to graduates in any discipline of any university and nationality. Preference will be given to scholars at postdoctoral or an equivalent level. The University is committed to equality of opportunity. The stipend will be £20,540.
A non-stipendiary Research or Visiting Fellowship at Darwin College will normally be available to the successful candidate, if not already a Fellow of a Cambridge College. Fellows in these categories are members of the Governing Body of the College and may take meals in the College without charge.
Applications (one copy only) should reach the Deputy Librarian, University Library, West Road, Cambridge, CB3 9DR, by 9 September 2005, and should include the following particulars:
(a) a completed introductory sheet (form available from the Library, e-mail an286@cam.ac.uk);
(b) a curriculum vitae with a list of principal publications;
(c) a statement of the research proposed.
An election will be made in December 2005. There are no interviews. Prospective candidates are invited to write to the Deputy Librarian for further information.
