Stipendiary Research Fellows have access to a limited stock of College

allowance is offered. The estimated stipend will be in the region of 
18,000. Research Fellows are allowed to teach up to six hours per week 
for additional remuneration, and are expected to participate in the 
intellectual life of Leckhampton, the Colleges graduate centre. An annual 
allowance for research expenditure is available and privileges include 
free medical insurance, some meals, and a small entertainment allowance.

Applications must be made via 
https://app.casc.cam.ac.uk/fas_live/corpusjrf.aspx.  You will need a c.v.

requests from the application system to your referees well in advance of 
the deadline.

Selected candidates will be invited to submit research papers, part of a 
dissertation, or other written work. However, the research papers or 
thesis chapter (or chapters) submitted must not exceed 20,000 words. The 
submitted work need not be in its final form, but must provide evidence of 
outstanding originality and promise. Research Fellowships are intended 
primarily as the first post-doctoral appointment for promising 
researchers. Those candidates in a laboratory-based subject area who have 
been selected to submit work will be asked to provide evidence, with their 
submitted work, that there is a laboratory in Cambridge University or in 
an associated institute, willing to host their research, providing the 
necessary finance and facilities.
