The College proposes to elect, in February 2008, 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 2007. 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 £17,402 a year with increments in the second and third years. 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 £9,360 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.
Application forms and further particulars can be obtained from the Administrative Secretary, Magdalen College, Oxford, OX1 4AU (tel. 01865 276060, e-mail elizabeth.martin@magd.ox.ac.uk), or at http://www.magd.ox.ac.uk/vacancies/. The closing date is 8 October 2007.
