The Governing Body proposes to elect to a postdoctoral Browne Research Fellowship in Biological Sciences or Biochemistry (excluding medical sciences). The successful candidate will, if possible, enter upon the Fellowship on 1 October 2007.
The basic stipend of the Fellowship, which is pensionable under the Universities Superannuation Scheme, is £21,863 subject to adjustment in the light of any other emoluments enjoyed by the Fellow or in the light of any general alteration to University stipends. The Fellow will further receive an annual grant of up to £4,000 towards research expenses. The Fellowship will be tenable for three years only. The Fellow will be entitled to free rooms in College (or in approved cases to an allowance in lieu, currently £3,061), and to free meals in College. The Fellow may, with the leave of the Governing Body, engage in teaching up to a maximum of six hours weekly and, if teaching, would normally be expected to give priority to the College's own teaching needs.
Candidates must not have accumulated more than ten years in full-time postgraduate study or research by 1 October 2007; these ten years need not be continuous. Candidates must obtain written confirmation from the relevant Head of Department (Biochemistry, Plant Sciences, or Zoology) that laboratory space will be made available to the candidate if successful.
