The Governing Body of Magdalene College invites applications for the Raymond and Beverly Sackler Senior Research Fellowship. Applications are open to postdoctoral research workers employed in the Schools of the Biological Sciences, the Physical Sciences, Clinical Medicine, and Technology of the University of Cambridge in the fields of the medical and exact sciences, and who are aged 35 and under at the time of application. The duration of the Fellowship which is non-stipendiary and non-residential, is three years, provided that the holder remains in the employ of the University as a postdoctoral research worker.
Applications must be made to the Master's Secretary, Magdalene College, Cambridge, CB3 0AG (e-mail jeh34@cam.ac.uk) using the special application form obtainable from the Master's Secretary. A completed application form, together with a curriculum vitae, and a statement of about 500 words describing the candidate's current and proposed research, must be received not later than 7 September 2007.
The Governing Body of Magdalene College expects to elect two stipendiary Research Fellows with tenure for three years from 1 October 2009. (The Nevile Fellowship, endowed through the generosity of Trinity College will be in the Sciences; the Lumley Fellowship, endowed through the generosity of H. R. L. Lumley, will be in the Humanities.) Applications are invited from graduates, male or female, from any university. Candidates should normally have completed two or three years of research and may have written a Ph.D. dissertation. Short-listed candidates will be called for interview; and the expenses of travel within the United Kingdom only will be paid by the College. The current gross stipend (2006-07) for a Research Fellow is £16,115 a year, rising by two annual increments to £18,435 a year. This stipend will be reviewed annually in line with University stipends. A reduced scale of stipend will apply to Research Fellows who are full-time students. A deduction of £1,000 a year will be made if the Fellow is resident in College. The net stipend paid to a Research Fellow will take into account any grant or stipend which the Fellow receives from other sources. A Research Fellow will receive all the privileges associated with an Official Fellowship and, in the case of a Research Fellow who has not yet taken the Ph.D. Degree, the College may pay certain approved University Fees.
