JUNIOR RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS 2009

Trinity College intends to hold an election of Junior Research Fellows on 5 October 2009.

The purpose of Junior Research Fellowships is to offer men and women of exceptional calibre who are at an early stage of their academic careers an opportunity to pursue research for up to four years. Candidates must not have completed more than three-and-a-half years of full-time research by 5 October 2009. The Fellowships are available in all branches of University studies.

A Junior Research Fellow receives a stipend from the College of £23,121 a year (reviewable in line with academic stipends), less any emolument received from a source outside College. However, a Fellow who is still registered for a degree course will receive a lower payment until this study is completed. There are also various additional benefits. Fellows are entitled to rooms in College (subject to certain conditions) and may take meals at High Table free of charge. A Junior Research Fellow who is allocated a College flat is charged rent at the married student's rate.

Further particulars may be obtained from the College website (http://www.trin.cam.ac.uk/), or from the Senior Tutor's Clerk, Junior Research Fellowship Competition, Trinity College, Cambridge, CB2 1TQ (email jrf@trin.cam.ac.uk). The deadline for applications is 4 p.m. on Monday, 2 March 2009.
