RESEARCH ASSOCIATE SCHEME, ACADEMIC YEAR 2011–12

The College Research Associate Scheme offers short-term collegiate affiliation to postdoctoral researchers and others in similar posts in Cambridge who would like a College association of some kind but do not have one. They are expected to be available to assist with the College’s teaching and should not hold similar memberships at other Colleges. College Research Associates are elected for a year at a time.

The criteria for selection to the scheme include both academic excellence and the College’s need for teaching in particular areas. The offer is made in the expectation that the College Research Associate will reciprocate by supervising for the College, if required. Supervision will be paid at the usual rate.

Applications are invited from all fields, but are particularly strongly welcomed from individuals who are willing to teach:

Experimental Psychology, Part Ib

Materials Science, NST Part Ia and Ib

Medieval History and Early Modern Europe, Papers 2, 3, 8, and 16

Pure Mathematics, Part Ib and Part II.

College Research Associates are offered dining rights, access to the College’s sports facilities, gardens, and occasional use of College public rooms.

An application form is available on the College website (http://www.clare.cam.ac.uk/). Applications should be sent to Julie Durrant, Fellowship Administrator, by email (julie.durrant@clare.cam.ac.uk) by midday on Thursday, 28 April 2011.
