Stipendiary; 4 years fixed term
Stipend £27,979 (with a PhD), £23,700 (without a PhD)
The College invites applications for a stipendiary Junior Research Fellowship in specified areas of the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences. It will be tenable for four years from no later than 1 October 2025 and is not renewable.
A Junior Research Fellowship is intended for a researcher early in their career and, in this case, is restricted to applicants in one or more of the following subject areas: Anthropology; Archaeology; Asian and Middle Eastern Studies; English (limited to literature of 1800 to the present day); Law; Linguistics; Modern and Medieval Languages; Philosophy (excluding Philosophy of Science).
A Junior Research Fellowship offers an opportunity to carry out novel research in a stimulating academic environment. A successful applicant is expected to be either a postgraduate student, probably in the latter stages of research leading to a PhD degree (or equivalent), or a post-doctoral researcher who has completed their PhD Degree after 1 January 2024.
The stipend for a Junior Research Fellow is currently £27,979 (with a PhD) and £23,700 (without a PhD) and the successful candidate will be afforded the full privileges of a Fellow of the College. Fellows living out of College receive a non-pensionable living-out allowance of £5,022 (with a PhD) or £2,298 (without a PhD).
Applications must be submitted online via the ÍõÖÐÍõÁùºÏ²ÊÌØÂë College website at by 12 noon on Thursday 24 October 2024.
Reports from two referees must also be received by 12 noon on Thursday 24 October 2024 for the application to be eligible. Shortlisted candidates will be asked for copies of written work by Wednesday 13 November 2024 and may be invited for interview. Interviews are expected to be on or around Tuesday 14 January 2025.

It should be noted that a successful candidate for a Junior Research Fellowship who does not have an automatic right to work in the United Kingdom (including anyone who is completing a PhD at an overseas institution) 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.
