Research Fellows in Sciences in 2025

University of Cambridge - Gonville & Caius

Location: Cambridge
Salary: Check advert for details
Hours: Full Time
Contract Type: Fixed-Term/Contract
Placed On: 30th August 2024
Closes: 30th September 2024

Gonville & Caius College gives notice of its intention to elect two Research Fellows in Sciences in 2025. Candidates should be postgraduate students or post-doctoral researchers who will either be in their final year of doctoral research, or not more advanced than two years since the first submission of their PhD. Research Fellowships are awarded to individuals of exceptionally strong academic record who have produced innovative doctoral research in any branch of the Sciences including Mathematics, Engineering and Medicine.

The Fellowships will be tenable for four years from 1st October 2025. Research Fellows have the full entitlement of Fellows; they are expected to spend the tenure of their Fellowship in Cambridge and to contribute to the life of the College. Permission may be granted for periods of research away from Cambridge.

A Research Fellowship at Caius is compatible with a simultaneous appointment to a salaried post-doctoral position in a Laboratory, Department or Faculty in Cambridge. Such a person appointed to a Research Fellowship would be entitled to all the benefits of a Research Fellow other than stipend. If the post-doctoral position comes to an end before the end of the four year fellowship, the College’s usual stipend will apply for the remainder of the time

The stipend offered is either (a) £27,003, rising by three annual increments to £30,039 if living in College accommodation for a single person, which is free, or in College couples’ or family accommodation, if available, which is subsidised, or (b) £30,327 rising by 3 annual increments to £33,364 if not living in College accommodation. All stipends are subject to an annual cost of living review each summer. Other benefits include 10 free meals per week and certain research expenses may be reimbursed. There are also opportunities for College teaching (up to six hours per week), which attracts extra payment.

Candidates must submit with their application written work for assessors. The College is concerned with the quality rather than the quantity of work submitted, but it is important that sufficient material be available. It is common for candidates to submit approximately 30,000 words. Apart from quotations, the work must be in English.

Applications open on Monday 2nd September 2024 and must be completed by Monday 30th September 2024. Offers will be made on Monday 20th January 2025 or soon after and candidates should respond to any offers received by 4:00pm on Wednesday 22nd January 2025.

The College is an equal opportunities employer and actively supports equality, diversity and inclusion, and encourages applications from all sections of society. Elections to Research Fellowships are made purely on the basis of intellectual and academic attainment and promise.

There are 31 Colleges within the University of Cambridge. Each College is an independent institution and appoints its own staff.
