NON-STIPENDIARY RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP

Applications are invited for one non-stipendiary Research Fellowship, to begin on 1 October 2010. Applications are welcome in any subject. Candidates must have external funding support for their salary for the term of their Fellowship, which will be for up to three years. This includes, but is not restricted to, research appointments from the Royal Society, the British Academy, the various Research Councils of the United Kingdom, the Wellcome Trust or the Leverhulme Trust. The Research Fellowship is open to graduates of any university who on 1 October 2010 will have completed not more than five years of research.

The main function of the Non-Stipendiary Fellowships is to offer researchers who have already secured external funding at Cambridge University the chance to participate in College life and enjoy the benefits of a College Fellowship. Research Fellows will be full members of the College’s Governing Body.

The external salary can be supplemented by undertaking teaching within the College. The additional remuneration obtained in this way would depend on the amount of teaching undertaken. The College normally offers rent-free accommodation.

Applicants should complete the online application at https://app.casc.cam.ac.uk/fas_live/corpusjrf.aspx.

Two documents will be uploaded: a curriculum vitae, and a statement of not more than 1,000 words outlining the applicant’s present and proposed research. The details of two referees familiar with the applicant’s work should be given. The application must be completed by midday on 23 June 2010, and by this date the referees should upload their reference letters. Short-listed candidates must be available for interview on 9 July 2010.

Any enquiries should be addressed to The Research Fellowship Competition, Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, CB2 1RH (email research-fellowships@corpus.cam.ac.uk).

SCHOOLS LIAISON OFFICER 2010–2011

Salary: £20,938 a year

This position would suit a recent graduate (undergraduate or postgraduate) with first-hand experience of the Cambridge undergraduate system and/or experience of teaching or advising Year 12 students. The work will involve maintaining and developing the Colleges’ links with UK schools and colleges. We have area links with schools and colleges in Norfolk, Hertfordshire, Kent, Yorkshire, and the North East of England, as well as a number of London boroughs. The Officer will work primarily with schools in the state sector.

You will need to demonstrate good interpersonal skills and be comfortable talking with individuals and groups of students, teachers, and career advisers. The work will be based in Cambridge but will involve some travel and require flexible hours of working. Possession of a full driving licence is desirable.

In addition, you will need to be very well organized, computer-literate – preferably with some knowledge of Microsoft Office software, including Word and Access – and able to work both alone and as a member of a team. Familiarity with the operation of video-conferencing technology is useful, but not essential. You will also need to demonstrate a strong commitment to establishing links with schools and schoolteachers, encouraging their pupils to consider the possibility of making a Cambridge application. More generally there will be an aim to spread the message of the value of continuing from school into a rigorously academic university course.

The post is intended to start by September 2010 and to be of one year’s duration (though an extension for a further year may be possible). This is a shared post with Caius, Homerton, and Jesus Colleges having a third share each.

This post does require post holders to complete an enhanced police check.
