Candidates may be specialists in any field of Engineering. The Fellowship would be held concurrently with their Departmental post.

Applications, including a curriculum vitae, a statement of current research and teaching interests, and the names of three referees should be addressed to the Senior Tutor by the closing date of 10 March 2010. Applicants are asked to arrange for references to be sent from their three referees directly to the Senior Tutor, Robinson College, Grange Road, Cambridge, CB3 9AN (email kak24@cam.ac.uk, fax 01223 464806) by the closing date.

St John’s College intends to appoint two College Research Associates during the Easter Term 2010. Candidates must be of post-doctoral standing, and may be graduates of any university. They must hold awards made in a national or international competition (for example, those for Royal Society University Research Fellowships, British Academy Postdoctoral Research Fellowships, Research Council Fellowships, or Wellcome Trust Career Development Fellowships) for the purpose of conducting research in the University of Cambridge or at an approved non-University research institution. No conditions of age or subject are attached to these positions, but the successful applicants are likely to be within six years of having completed the requirements for the Ph.D. (or equivalent) Degree. Candidates will be selected by reference to their ability to contribute to the intellectual, educational, and social life of the College. While no stipend or honorarium is payable, a number of Collegiate benefits apply. Successful candidates will take up their College Research Associateships from 1 September 2010.
