Junior Research Fellowships 2013

Applications are invited for a Junior Research Fellowship in arts and social science subjects which will normally be tenable for three years from 1 October 2013. The Fellowship is open to graduates, men or women, of any University, with no age limit, but will normally be awarded to candidates who have recently completed their PhD or are close to completion. The function of Fellowships is as initial (normally) post-doctoral positions appropriate to the start of an academic career.

Churchill College, Fitzwilliam College, Murray Edwards College, Selwyn College and Trinity Hall operate a Joint Application Scheme for Junior Research Fellowships. Applications will be considered by all Colleges offering Fellowships in the relevant subject. A total of 7 Fellowships is offered across all Colleges in the scheme, of which one is offered at Trinity Hall, but candidates are advised that competition is likely to be intense; last year over 900 applications were received.

Candidates are warned that they are responsible for checking their eligibility to take up the post under UK immigration rules.

Full information regarding the Fellowships on offer, further particulars and registration details will be available at the JRF Joint Application Scheme website from 15 October 2012 via:
