The College Research Associate Scheme offers short-term collegiate affiliation to postdoctoral researchers and others in similar posts in Cambridge who would like a College association of some kind but do not have one. They are expected to be available to assist with the College's teaching and should not hold similar memberships at other Colleges. They are elected for a year at a time.
The criteria for selection to the scheme include both academic excellence and the College's need for teaching in particular areas. The offer is made in the expectation that the College Research Associate will reciprocate by supervising for the College, if required, for at least three hours a week. Supervision will be paid at the usual rate.
Applications are particularly strongly welcomed from individuals who are willing to teach Economics, English, History, Philosophy, Social and Political Science (Psychology), Chemistry, Engineering, Mathematics for Natural Sciences, Mathematics for Biologists, or Physics.
College Research Associates are offered dining rights, access to the College's sports facilities and gardens, and occasional use of College public rooms.
An application form is available on the College website (http://www.clare.cam.ac.uk/). Applications should be sent to Julie Durrant, Fellowship Administrator, Clare College, Trinity Lane, Cambridge, CB2 1TL, by Wednesday, 20 May 2009, at the latest. Enquiries about the scheme may be made by email to julie.durrant@clare.cam.ac.uk.
