The Governing Body of Emmanuel College invites applications for one non-stipendiary Research Fellowship in any subject in Science or Mathematics; all four Fellowships are for a three-year fixed term, and will commence on October 1, 2013.

To access the Non-Stipendiary 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.

Applications and referees' reports must be received by 5pm on 28 May 2013. 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.

  • Application for a Non-Stipendiary Research Fellowship is open to candidates working in any subject in Science or Mathematics.
  • Applications will be accepted from any graduate of a university within or outside the United Kingdom. Candidates must currently hold, or be about to take up, a full time paid post doctoral position at the University of Cambridge
  • These Fellowships are intended for outstanding researchers early in their careers: successful candidates are likely to have been awarded their PhD degree after 1 October 2008.

  • There is no teaching requirement attached to the Fellowship, but Fellows are welcome to teach if they wish, and are permitted to receive additional remuneration for up to six hours College or University teaching a week.
  • 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.

Application Timetable:

  • The application process begins on 16 April 2013.
  • 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 28 May 2013.
