Trinity College intends to hold an election of Junior Research Fellows on 1 October 2007.
The purpose of Junior Research Fellowships is to offer men and women of exceptional calibre who are at an early stage of their academic careers an opportunity to pursue research for up to four years. Candidates must not have completed more than three-and-a-half years of full-time research by 1 October 2007. The Fellowships are available in all branches of University studies.
A Research Fellow receives a stipend from the College of £21,067 per annum (reviewable in line with academic stipends), less any emolument received from a source outside College, provided that a Fellow who is registered for a further course of study in the United Kingdom (e.g. a Ph.D degree) will normally receive, instead of a stipend, a maintenance grant at the rate of £15,450 p.a. until completion of the course of study. There are also various additional benefits.
For administrative reasons, the procedures for members of Trinity College and those who are external applicants are slightly different. However, the assessment of the applications and work submitted will be on exactly the same basis for both internal and external candidates.
Interested applicants must register on-line. Please click the relevant link below for further information:
