The College proposes to elect a Visiting Fellow or Fellows for the academical year 2007-08. In addition, a Robert S. Campbell Visiting Fellow may be elected for research in law, especially commercial or competition law. A Visiting Fellowship is intended to offer an established scholar, either from abroad or from the United Kingdom, an opportunity to pursue his or her own study and research as a member of the College. Completed application forms (see below) must be returned not later than 15 December 2006
The College proposes to elect, in February 2007, one or two Fellows by Examination. Candidates should have a good Honours degree or its equivalent and have completed, or be near to completing, a doctorate or other postgraduate research. They will already have demonstrated outstanding promise in their chosen field. In any event the candidate must not have completed more than four years' graduate study by 1 October 2006. There is no restriction on the number of times an applicant may apply for this post.
Each Fellowship is tenable for three years at a stipend starting at £16,352 a year, rising annually on 1 October. The Fellow is a member of the Governing Body of the College and is entitled to free lunches and dinners, to a research allowance, and either to free single accommodation, or to a discretionary housing allowance, currently set at £9,000 a year. It is likely that successful candidates will be required to live within a certain radius of Oxford during the period of their appointment. The closing date is 16 October 2006.
