Research Fellowship at Jesus College

Applications are invited for a Research Fellowship to held in Sciences including scientific studies in the fields of Geography, Archaeology and Anthropology. The Fellowship is a fixed-term three year Research Fellowship normally commencing on 1 October 2011, though there may be grounds for a different starting date as described in the further particulars posted on http://www.jesus.cam.ac.uk/jobs/index.html

The Fellowship is intended for researchers early in their careers. Successful candidates are expected to be either graduate students, probably in the latter stages of their research leading to a PhD Degree, or post-doctoral researchers who have recently been awarded their PhD Degree. Candidates who have undertaken more than four years of full-time research are unlikely to be considered.
Remuneration for a Research Fellow is set by reference to the Cambridge general stipend and salary scale and will start from £19,743, pay award pending. The College is sometimes able to assist in the provision of housing for those Research Fellows with spouses or partners.

The application process is available online at https://jrf.jesus.cam.ac.uk after 29 October 2010. Applications must be received by 1pm on Friday 10 December 2010. Short-listed candidates will be asked to submit two copies of written work up to a maximum of 40,000 words by Thursday 27 January 2011. Candidates will not normally be called for interview.
