The Governing Body invites applications from graduates of any university for election to a Junior Research Fellowship in Politics. The successful candidate will enter upon the Fellowship on 1 October 2008.
Fellowships are intended to support those at an early stage of their academic careers, and will normally be awarded to those who have recently completed their doctoral research, or are close to completion. Candidates must not have accumulated more than six years in full-time postgraduate study of research, nor have already held a Research Fellowship elsewhere.
The basic stipend of the Fellowship, which is pensionable under the Universities Superannuation Scheme, is currently £16,404. The Fellow will be entitled to free rooms in College (or in approved cases to an allowance of £3,153 in lieu), 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.
The closing date for applications is 17 December 2007. Further details are available on the College website at http://www.queens.ox.ac.uk/vacancies/, or from the Academic Administrator, The Queen's College, Oxford, OX1 4AW (e-mail particulars@queens.ox.ac.uk).
