Early-Career Research Fellowship

Corpus Christi College, Cambridge (UK) invites applications for one Early-Career Research Fellowship tenable for four years from 1 October 2026. Eligible applicants are expected to be at an early stage of their career (and may not yet have completed their doctoral work). If postdoctoral, this is defined as being within two years from the date of a successful viva voce examination at the time of application. This year applications will be considered in the following subjects: Modern and Medieval Languages; Classics; Linguistics; Asian and Middle Eastern Studies.

An Early-Career Research Fellow is expected to pursue learning and research in their chosen field and publish the results. The College’s academic environment provides favourable conditions for research, which will be undertaken freely and without oversight on the part of the College.

Early-Career Research Fellows are permitted to teach up to six hours per week for additional remuneration, and are expected to participate in the intellectual life of Leckhampton (the College's second site where most of its postgraduates are housed).

Full details are available in the Further Particulars for the post.

Application deadline: noon (GMT) on Wednesday 3 September 2025.
