Applications are invited for a Research Fellowship to be held in Arts and Social Sciences. The Fellowship is a fixed-term three-year Research Fellowship normally commencing on 1 October 2010, though there may be grounds for a different starting date as described in the further particulars posted on http://www.jesus.cam.ac.uk/jobs/.
These Fellowships are intended for researchers early in their careers. Successful candidates are expected to be either graduate students, probably in the latter stages of their research leading to a Ph.D. Degree, or post-doctoral researchers who have recently been awarded their Ph.D. Degree. Candidates who have undertaken more than four years of research are unlikely to be considered.
Remuneration for a Research Fellow is set by reference to the Cambridge general stipend and salary scale. The College is sometimes able to assist in the provision of housing for those Research Fellows with spouses or partners.
The application process is online. Further details of the Fellowship and application forms may be obtained from the College website at https://jrf.jesus.cam.ac.uk/. All applications must be received by 1 p.m. on Friday, 11 September 2009. Shortlisted candidates will be asked to submit two copies of written work up to a maximum of 40,000 words by Monday, 19 October 2009. Candidates will not normally be called for interview. The College is an equal opportunities employer.
