(Applications in eligible subject areas will be considered for both the Stipendiary and the George Kingsley Roth Junior Research Fellowships)

*The stipend for a Junior Research Fellow is currently £25,217 (with a PhD) and £20,675 (without a PhD) and the successful candidate will be afforded the full privileges of a Fellow of the College.

Applications must be submitted on-line via the Christ’s College website at www.christs.cam.ac.uk/jrf  by 12:00 noon on Thursday 21st October 2021.  Reports from two referees must also be received by the same deadline for the application to be eligible.  Interviews are expected to be on or around Wednesday 12th January 2022.  Further details of the Fellowship competition are provided on the website (www.christs.cam.ac.uk/jrf ).

A stipendiary Junior Research Fellowship for a successful applicant who does not have an automatic right to work in the United Kingdom will be subject to the visa requirements of the United Kingdom. The College will give informal advice and assistance but ultimately it will be the responsibility of the candidate to obtain the necessary visa.

The College also welcomes applicants from those who already have postdoctoral support.  For further details see www.christs.cam.ac.uk/vacancies.
