The four Colleges invite applications for Junior Research Fellowships, which will normally be tenable for three years from 1 October 2007. Fellowships are open to graduates, women and men, of any university who have recently completed their doctorates or are about to do so. Successful candidates will normally have submitted their theses between 1 March 2005 and 1 March 2007. Candidates with no previous connection with Cambridge or Oxford Universities are welcome.
A total of eight Fellowships is offered but candidates are warned that competition is likely to be intense; last year over 300 applications were received.
Churchill College is offering one stipendiary and two non-stipendiary Fellowships, and a non-stipendiary Raymond and Beverly Sackler Research Fellowship in the fields of medical and exact sciences.
