The Office of Intercollegiate Services announces that a number of Colleges propose to hold competitions for Research Fellowships tenable from the start of the academic year 2011–12 with closing dates for application on or near 1 October 2010. For reasons of compliance with the Points Based Immigration System in the cases of successful candidates who require immigration clearance to work in the UK, advertisements are likely be issued towards the end of August (and not later than 31 August 2010). They will appear on the University of Cambridge website at http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/hr/jobs/colleges.cgi, as well as on individual College websites and elsewhere.
College advertisements for competitions with a later closing date will normally appear in the Cambridge University Reporter and the Oxford Gazette, as well as on University of Cambridge website, College websites, and elsewhere, not less than 28 days before the closing date.
General information concerning individual Research Fellowships can be found on College websites.
The College intends to appoint up to four College Research Associates during the course of Michaelmas Term 2010. Applicants must at the time of appointment be of post-doctoral standing, and may be graduates of any university. They must at the time of appointment, and for the duration of the employment be employed by, or otherwise working in, the University of Cambridge in a research role. There are no conditions of age or subject attached to these positions, but candidates would normally be early in their research or teaching career. College Research Associates will be selected by reference to their ability to contribute to the intellectual, educational, and social life of the College.
The College Research Associate position will normally be tenable for a period of three years. Applications from candidates with less than two years’ guaranteed funding from the date of the appointment will not normally be considered. No stipend or honorarium will be payable and no room or accommodation will be provided. Various benefits will be available, details of which will be provided to applicants. The position will not carry any teaching obligations, but if any supervision is carried out for the College, these will be paid for at the standard rates plus the same mark-up as is applicable to Fellows of the College.
Application forms may be obtained from the Master’s Office (CRA), Jesus College, Cambridge, CB5 8BL, by email from cra@jesus.cam.ac.uk or from the College website (http://www.jesus.cam.ac.uk/jobs). Applications must be received by 1 p.m. on Friday, 10 September 2010. The application should include your curriculum vitae, and a statement intelligible to academics in a completely different discipline, of not more than 500 words outlining present and future research and/or teaching plans. Two references are required, which must also arrive at the College by the above date.
Shortlisted candidates will be interviewed on the afternoon of Thursday, 4 November 2010, only.
