The current salary is £20,938. The fellowships are tenable either from 1st October 2011 or, exceptionally, from 1st September 2011.
Research Fellows are expected to undertake original research in some branch of arts, science or education.

The successful candidate must have a good Honours degree (either First or 2:1), or an equivalent qualification. They must also have research expertise in their chosen field as demonstrated by a completed doctoral thesis and/or published or forthcoming books, or articles in refereed journals, as relevant to the candidate’s field; or promise of such achievement, as relevant to the candidate’s field.
