JUNIOR RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS 2008

Trinity College intends to hold an election of Junior Research Fellows on 6 October 2008.

The Junior Research Fellowships provide an opportunity for individuals of exceptional calibre, who are at an early stage of their academic careers, to pursue research for up to four years. Candidates must not have completed more than three-and-a-half years of full-time research by 6 October 2008. The Fellowships are available in all branches of University studies.

A Research Fellow receives a stipend from the College of £21,916 a year (reviewable in line with academic stipends), less any emolument received from a source outside College, provided that a Fellow who is registered for a further course of study in the United Kingdom (e.g. a Ph.D. Degree) will normally receive, instead of a stipend, a maintenance grant at the rate of £15,676 a year until completion of the course of study. There are also various additional benefits.

Further particulars giving detailed rules of eligibility and application procedures may be obtained from the College website at http://www.trin.cam.ac.uk/ or from the Senior Tutor's Clerk, Junior Research Fellowship Competition, Trinity College, Cambridge, CB2 1TQ (e-mail jrf@trin.cam.ac.uk).

Completed application forms and supporting documents must reach the College by 4 p.m. on 29 February 2008.
