Homerton College invites applications for two Junior Research Fellowships. Applications may be made in the fields of:
Social Sciences (including Psychology and Anthropology)
Natural Sciences (Biology and Physics)
Politics and Modern British History
Geography and Land Economy
Candidates may be graduates of any university and will have completed, or be about to complete, a Ph.D. Degree. There is no age limit for eligibility, but the College will not normally appoint Junior Research Fellows who are more than three years beyond the award of a doctorate. A Junior Research Fellowship is tenable for three years with effect from 1 October 2011.
The closing date for applications is 10 December 2010.
Please go to the Homerton website (http://www.homerton.cam.ac.uk/) for information about the post and how to apply. Enquiries should be directed to Lizzie Madder (tel. 01223 747132, email enm25@cam.ac.uk).
Selwyn College and the Department of Veterinary Medicine propose to elect a Research Fellow in Equine Science, sponsored by the BEVA Trust (http://www.beva.org.uk/health-projects/BEVA-trust/).
Applications are invited from those who have, or will have shortly completed, a Ph.D. Degree in a relevant area and who wish to pursue post-doctoral research in any area of equine science. Preference will be given to candidates with a focus on epidemiology or infectious diseases, particularly where the outcome of the research will be relevant in the developing world, resulting in improved equine welfare. The stipend for the first year of the appointment for a candidate with a Ph.D. Degree is currently £17,417, rising to £18,950 in the third year. The Fellowship is funded for a fixed term of three years. Applicants will be required to provide proof of eligibility to live and work in the UK.
Further particulars and the application form can be downloaded from http://www.sel.cam.ac.uk/vacancies/research-posts/BEVA.html.
Informal enquiries can be directed to Professor James Wood in the Department of Veterinary Medicine (email jlnw2@cam.ac.uk).
The closing date for applications (five copies) is 7 January 2011. Interviews will be held on 4 February 2011.
Trinity College intends to elect up to two Senior Research Fellows in the fields of economics or the social sciences, broadly interpreted, with effect from 1 October 2011 (or an agreed later date). The College regards a Senior Research Fellowship as being of academic standing comparable to that of a distinguished research professorship at a major university, and applicants are expected to have a correspondingly distinguished record of achievement in research. The stipend, for a Fellow not receiving regular remuneration from other sources, will be £70,500.
Senior Research Fellowships can be held until the retirement age (currently 67), but there is a statutory requirement that continuation of tenure after each period of not more than five years is subject to the College Council’s being satisfied that the Fellow is continuing to make contributions of high value to his or her subject of study. Further particulars, including details of emoluments and terms of appointment, and a guide to the information required in the application, may be obtained from the College’s website (http://www.trin.cam.ac.uk/vacancies) or from the Master’s Secretary, Trinity College, Cambridge, CB2 1TQ, to whom applications should be addressed. The envelope containing the application should be marked ‘Senior Research Fellowship’ and should reach the College by 31 December 2010. Applicants should ask not more than three referees to write directly to the Master, Trinity College, Cambridge, CB2 1TQ, marking the envelope ‘Senior Research Fellowship’, and should ensure that the references reach the College on or before 31 December 2010.
Trinity College is a registered charity: Registered Charity Number 1137604.
