This Travelling Fellowship has been endowed with the object of assisting women graduates who have considerable experience of research (normally beyond the doctoral level) and who intend to undertake fieldwork projects outside the British Isles (and normally not within their own countries of residence) in Biology, Archaeology, Social Anthropology or Sociology, with preference for Archaeology or Biology.
The Travelling Fellowship is open to women who are or have been members of any College or Approved Foundation or Approved Society in, or University officers in, the University, but preference will be given to present or former members of Newnham College. The Travelling Fellowship will be available for all or part of the year 2009-10 and the fund will pay research, travel, and subsistence expenses normally up to £18,000 for the year; these conditions may be modified according to the nature of the project.
Further information can be obtained from the College website (http://www.newn.cam.ac.uk/) or from the Principal's Secretary, Newnham College, Cambridge, CB3 9DF (email cb560@cam.ac.uk), and applications should be sent to her by 5 January 2009.
