New Hall intends to appoint to College Lectureships and Official Fellowships two or more individuals who are, or expect soon to be, working in the Department of Genetics, of Physiology, Development, and Neuroscience, of Plant Sciences, of Zoology, or in a closely related laboratory. Those appointed will be expected to teach for up to three or four hours a week in Full Term (mostly students in their first two years), to interview for undergraduate admissions, to help arrange teaching in biology, and to contribute to the academic life and running of the College. The College pays Fellows 20% above the usual rates for supervising, and a Fellowship Allowance of £1,320 a year. The posts will suit those with additional forms of financial support (e.g. from a Research Council) and an interest in undergraduate teaching.
The posts are open to men and women. Appointment will be for three years in the first instance. Further particulars and details of the application procedure may be obtained from the President's Secretary, New Hall, Cambridge, CB3 0DF (tel. 01223 762227, e-mail skg22@cam.ac.uk). The deadline for applications is 5 May 2006. Short-listed applicants will be invited for interviews to be held on 18 May 2006.
