E. P. ABRAHAM JUNIOR RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP

The College proposes to make an election to an E. P. Abraham Junior Research Fellowship in some branch of the medical, biological, or chemical sciences, tenable for two years from 1 October 1999 and renewable for one further year. The Fellowship is open to men and women and carries a stipend of £15,735 a year, together with common table rights (five lunches a week). It is assumed that applicants will have found a place with an appropriate Oxford department and will not be in receipt of another substantial stipend or other source of funding. Applicants should have submitted their doctoral dissertations by the date of taking up the appointment or have obtained the D.Phil./Ph.D. Degree or equivalent within the last five years, but the College will exercise flexibility in the case of applicants whose academic careers have been interrupted.

Applications (marked E. P. Abraham JRF) should include details of the candidate's academic record, proposed subject of research, and research programme, together with the names of two referees, and should be sent to the Master, St Cross College, Oxford, OX1 3LZ, by 26 March. Applicants should ask their referees to send references direct to the Master by that date.
