Darwin College proposes to elect a stipendiary Moses and Mary Finley Research Fellow from 1 October 2007. The Fellowship is available for research into the ancient history of the Mediterranean world and/or the near East, down to the end of the 6th century AD. Preference will be given to those who interests coincide with those of the late Sir Moses Finley.
The Fellowship is tenable for four years and is intended for an outstanding researcher who is completing, or who has recently completed, their Ph.D. Degree. No candidate should have completed in total more than seven years of postgraduate research by 1 October 2007.
The successful candidate will be subject to the Statutes and Ordinances of the College, including the obligation to reside in Cambridge for at least two-thirds of each University term, unless excused by the Governing Body. The Finley Research Fellow will become a member of the Governing Body and will have Fellows' dining rights as well as the entitlement to a College room or flat, subject to availability, for which a charge will be made. An annual allowance will be available for travel and research expenses.
Applications are invited for a non-stipendiary Research Fellowship sponsored by Schlumberger Cambridge Research Limited and tenable at Darwin College, Cambridge. Candidates' research interests may be in the physical or biological sciences, mathematics, information sciences, or the social and economic aspects of technology and technology management, and candidates will be expected to pursue interdisciplinary research across one or more lines of inquiry during the tenure of the Fellowship. The Fellowship will begin on 1 October 2007 or on a date to be agreed, and is for two years.
The Fellowship is open to men and women from any university, irrespective of age, without limitation of subject and is intended for outstanding researchers who are completing, or who have recently completed, their Ph.D. Degree. No candidate should have completed in total more than seven years of postgraduate research by 1 October 2007.
Further details and information on how to apply for both Fellowships are available from the College website at http://www.dar.cam.ac.uk/, or from the Master's Secretary, Darwin College, Cambridge, CB3 9EU. The closing date for applications is 16 October 2006.
