UK: The Henslow Research Fellowship at Downing College

Overview

The Governing Body of Downing College, Cambridge invites applications for election to a Research Fellowship starting on 1st October 2010 and continuing until 30th September 2013 when the Fellowship will terminate. The Fellowship will be open to graduates working in Biological Anthropology, Biological Sciences or Medical and Veterinary Sciences.

When initial applications have been reviewed the competition will involve assessment of selected candidates’ submitted work. A very small number of candidates will then be invited for interview. Anyone interested in applying for the Fellowship should note that the standard needed to progress to the later stages of the competition is extremely high. Overseas candidates should also note that the College will not pay for air fares should they be shortlisted for interview.

Target Candidate and Benefits

The Fellowship is open to graduates of any university with no age limit, but is intended to support those at an early stage in their academic careers, and will normally be awarded to a candidate who has recently completed a PhD or is close to completion. The emolument of a pre-PhD Fellow not holding such paid employment is £19,645 if resident in College and £22,101 if living out of College. The emolument of a post-PhD Fellow not holding paid employment is £20,834 if resident in College and £23,449 if living out of College. Single accommodation in College can be provided. (These figures are reviewed annually and standard increments awarded during the coming academic year will be included before October 2010). A Research Fellow becomes a member of the Governing Body of the College and is expected to participate in the governance and communal life of the College.


Further information

Further information can be found on the Downing College website (www.dow.cam.ac.uk) or by contacting research-fellowship@dow.cam.ac.uk by email. Application forms can be downloaded from the College website and should be returned no later than 15th January 2010. Candidates should also arrange for two academic references to be emailed to research-fellowship@dow.cam.ac.uk by this date.

It is hoped that the Governing Body of the College will make an election in April 2010. The appointment will be conditional upon the candidate providing satisfactory evidence of the right to work in England in the capacity offered, together with proof of entry clearance/leave to remain.

Application Deadline: 15th January 2010
