Research Fellowship (4y) in Mathematical Sciences, Cambridge (England), Deadline: 4 Sep 2020

Stipendiary Research Fellowship in Mathematical Sciences and Engineering 
2021--2025

https://www.kings.cam.ac.uk/research/research-fellowships

The Governing Body of King's College invites applications for a Research 
Fellowship in the Mathematical Sciences and Engineering. Applications are 
invited from candidates with a strong record in any field of Mathematics 
or Engineering.

The Fellowship is intended to provide the successful candidate with the 
opportunity to pursue their own research programme while benefiting from 
the range of expertise in Cambridge, and King’s College in particular. 
The project could be based entirely within the college, or could involve a 
base in one of the University departments.

The successful candidate will join a lively body of post-doctoral research 
Fellows working across a wide range projects in the Sciences and in the 
Arts and Humanities. The successful candidate will be expected to engage 
broadly with the whole college community.

Research Fellows are members of the Governing Body, with full privileges 
of Fellows. In addition to pursuing research, a Research Fellow is 
required to live in Cambridge or close by and to participate in College 
life and activity. Privileges include all meals, limited financial support 
for expenses associated with research, the possibility of an office and 
accommodation in College properties. Although these are research posts, 
Research Fellows are encouraged to take advantage of opportunities to 
undertake a small amount of University and/or College teaching.

The stipend attached to a Research Fellowship is £21,716 (pre award of 
doctorate), £24,129 (after award of doctorate), rising each year to a 
maximum of £27,949. Additional payment is made for teaching. A living-out 
allowance of £4,000 is made, on application, to those not living in 
college.

The closing date for applications, including references, is 9am (UK local 
time) on Friday 4th September 2020.  Further information about the College 
may be obtained from the College website.

Eligibility:

Graduates of any university are eligible. Candidates will usually have 
completed their PhD but must not have undertaken more than 2-years of 
postdoctoral work by 1st October 2021 (i.e. your PhD cannot have been 
granted before 30th September 2019).

Dates:

The closing date for applications, including references, is 9 am (UK local 
time) on Friday 4th September 2020. Applications received after this date 
and time will not be considered. Long-listed candidates will be notified 
in early October and will be expected to provide within 5-days a writing 
sample of not more than 20,000 words. Short-listed candidates will be 
invited for interview on either Wednesday, 20th January 2021 or Thursday, 
21st January 2021. Please ensure that you will be available for interview 
on these dates, as it is not possible to arrange other times for 
interviews. The Fellowship will begin on 1st October 2021 and will run 
until 30th September 2025.

Application:

To apply use the following link to go to the FAS website and create an 
application.

Before the closing date, applicants must complete all sections of the 
online Fellowship Application and upload onto the website (PDF only) the 
following:

     A curriculum vitae (of no more than three A4 sides) including details 
of higher education, degrees awarded, positions held and a list of 
publications.
     A document (of no more than 1200 words in length) containing 
descriptions of your current research and of the research you propose to 
undertake during the Fellowship.

Applicants must also arrange for three letters of recommendation to be 
uploaded onto the site in PDF format by the closing date of the 
competition, 9 am (UK local time) on Friday 4th September 2020. Each 
referee should be asked to provide the names of two further readers, not 
in the candidate’s institution, to whom work might be sent if the 
candidate is long-listed. It is the duty of the candidate to ensure that 
the referees submit the references and the names of two readers before the 
closing date.

Your referees will need to provide their references through the FAS 
website. They will be sent an email containing a link to do this. Referees 
unable to submit references electronically via the FAS website may e-mail 
sally.thorp@kings.cam.ac.uk the competition administrator.

Please note that all application materials must be in the English 
language. The application will not be considered in the competition until 
it has been submitted and all references, including the names of 
additional readers, have been received. An email will be sent once this 
has occurred.

In early October, the College will contact long-listed applicants by email 
to ask for samples of written work, up to 20,000 words (either published 
papers or chapters of a doctoral thesis). This work must be supplied 
within 5-days of the sending of the e-mail.

Further questions:

If you have any further questions regarding any aspect of the competition, 
please e-mail sally.thorp@kings.cam.ac.uk the competition administrator.
