Emmanuel College

RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS

The Governing Body of Emmanuel College invites applications from men and women for three fixed-term three-year Research Fellowships in any subject, normally commencing on 1 October 2010. Applicants must show promise of being able to pursue research at the highest international level, and should not have completed more than eight years of postgraduate research by 1 October 2010.

The stipend for Research Fellows is related to the national academic scale. The current stipend for pre-doctoral (resp. post-doctoral) Research Fellows is £19,561 (resp. £20,840) and £21,541 (resp. £22,820), according as the Fellow is resident or non-resident in College. Pre-doctoral Research Fellows will be responsible for any University fee they incur up to the level of a UK postgraduate student (the College will contribute the difference if a higher fee is applicable). A limited amount of teaching in College is permitted, for which payment will be made at the usual rate.

Additional benefits provided for Research Fellows will include grants for research expenses and academic travel, a book allowance, and assistance with computing facilities. Research Fellows will be given the option to live in College (although no married accommodation can be provided), and will be provided with lunch and dinner in Hall free of charge.

The application form for the Fellowships is published online at http://www.emma.cam.ac.uk/resfell/ from 14 September 2009, and the completed form must be received by 5 p.m. on 8 October 2009. Candidates must also arrange for two people familiar with their work to submit their references online to the College by 5 p.m. on 8 October 2009. In case of difficulties, please email researchfellowships@emma.cam.ac.uk.

Shortlisted candidates will be invited by 17 November 2009 to submit copies of any published or unpublished work in support of their application, both online and as two hard copies, by 23 November 2009. Candidates will not be interviewed by the College. It is hoped to make elections to the Research Fellowships on 18 January 2010.
