The College intends to elect a non-stipendiary Research Fellow in the Sciences (including Clinical Medicine) and Mathematics. The Fellowship is open to individuals who hold in their own right a fixed-term Senior Research Fellowship having an initial duration of appointment of not less than five years. Those who are applicants for a Senior Research Fellowship may also apply, but will be required to confirm at the time of short-listing that they have been successful. Examples of such associated Fellowships are Royal Society University Research Fellowships, RCUK Fellowships or Senior Fellowships from the Research Councils or the Wellcome Trust. There are no preferences as to subject area and there is no obligation to teach for the College. The College Research Fellowship is to begin from 1 October 2008 and will be available for up to five years in the first instance (or until the end of the associated Senior Fellowship, if earlier). At the end of this initial period, if appropriate, the Fellow will be eligible for re-election for a further period up to the termination of the original external Fellowship. The Fellow will be entitled to full dining rights, membership of the Senior Common Room, a Research Allowance of £1,100 a year, access to College facilities (except a room in College), but not membership of the Governing Body. Individuals who have applied on previous occasions are welcome to reapply.
Applications (original plus five copies), which should include a curriculum vitae and the names and addresses (including e-mail addresses) of three referees, should be made to the Academic Administrator by 14 January 2008. Please note that e-mailed and faxed applications will not be considered. Applicants should ask their referees to write directly to the Academic Administrator by this date.
St John's College operates an equal opportunities policy.
