Emmanuel College Research Fellowship 2012

Overview

The Governing Body of Emmanuel College invites applications from men and women for three fixed term three year Research Fellowships in any subject.

To access the Research Fellowship application system, you are required to register. This enables you to save your application and revisit/edit it before submitting it, or to check the status of your application. It is recommended that you register as soon as possible.

Eligibility Requirements:

• Application for a Research Fellowship is open in any subject.
• Applicants must show promise of being able to pursue research at the highest international level, and should not have completed more than eightyears of post-graduate research by October 1, 2012.
• The Fellowship is for a fixed term of three years and will commence on October 1, 2012.
• Statements of research are required and should be not more than 1,000 words, outlining the work candidates will submit in support of their applications and the research they propose to pursue if elected. Please note that the statement will be read by people outside, as well as inside the candidate's own discipline, and should therefore be intelligible to scholars in other subjects.
• Dissertations are not required at this stage, but it is essential to have written work on hand, because those candidates whose applications are short-listed for further assessment will be invited by 16 November 2011 to submit a copy of their chosen written work electronically, plus one hard copies, which should be received at Emmanuel College no later than 22 November 2011. Please ensure that your contact details on your application are kept updated at that time (preferably giving your e-mail, mobile, or telephone details).
• Applications, including two referees' reports, must be submitted online by 5pm on 6 October 2011.

Fellowship Details:

• The stipend for Research Fellows is related to the national academic scale. The current stipend for pre-doctoral (resp. post-doctoral) Research Fellows is £20,643 (resp. £21,993) and £22,734 (resp. £24,084), depending on whether the Fellow is resident in College or not. Pre-doctoral Research Fellows will be responsible for meeting their own University fee payments up to the level of a U.K. post-graduate student (the College will contribute the difference if a higher fee is applicable). A limited amount of teaching in College is permitted, for which payment will be made at the usual rate.
• Additional benefits provided for Research Fellows will include an annual grant of up to £860 towards research expenses and academic travel, an annual book allowance of £252, and assistance with computing facilities. Research Fellows will be given the option to live in College (although no married accommodation can be provided), and will be provided with lunch and dinner in Hall free of charge. Research Fellows are normally required to reside in Cambridge during Full Term. However, subject always to the permission of the Governing Body, Research Fellows may work away from Cambridge for up to three Terms during the last two years of their Fellowship, either by retaining their Fellowship on full stipend, or by intermitting their Fellowship without stipend and thereby postponing its finishing date.

Application Timetable:

• The application process begins on 5 September 2011.
• Applications and two reports from independent referees, both of whom should be familiar with the candidate's research work, must be submitted through the web site, and received by the College by 5pm on 6 October 2011. One of these referees should normally be your PhD supervisor. Incomplete applications will not be accepted.
• Candidates will be short-listed by 16 November 2011.
• Elections will be made no later than 24 January 2012.

Applications and referees' reports must be received by 5pm on 6 October 2011. Incomplete applications will NOT be accepted. Please make sure that your application and your referees' reports reach us before the closing date. Register by clicking here.
