Christ’s College invites applications for a non-stipendiary post as a Junior Research Fellow conducting research in Physical Sciences; Technology; Arts; Humanities; or Social Sciences; open to those who have, or expect to have, secured postdoctoral funding support at the University of Cambridge. The Fellowship will be tenable for at least two years, but not more than four years, from no later than 1 October 2025.

A Junior Research Fellowship is intended for a researcher early in their career and offers an opportunity to carry out novel research in a stimulating academic environment. A successful applicant is expected to be either a postgraduate student, probably in the latter stages of research leading to a PhD degree (or equivalent), or a postdoctoral researcher who has completed their PhD degree after 1 January 2023.

Letters of application, together with a completed form available from the Christ’s College website, should be sent to [email protected] to arrive no later than 12 noon on Wednesday 4 December 2024 – please click the ‘Apply’ button above to be redirected.

Candidates must arrange for two persons who have agreed to act as academic referees to send their references direct to [email protected] so that the references are also received by the closing date of 12 noon on Wednesday 4 December 2024 in order for the application to be eligible. (It may not be necessary for referees to write a new reference; submitting a copy of a reference already sent in connection with the applicant’s postdoctoral appointment will often suffice.)

Shortlisted candidates may be invited for interview, expected to be held on or around Tuesday 14 January 2025. Further details of the Fellowship competition are provided on the website – please click the ‘Apply’ button above to be redirected.
