University of Cambridge - Gonville & Caius

Research Fellows in Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences

Gonville & Caius College intends to elect two Research Fellows in Arts, Humanities, and Social 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 one year since the first submission of their PhD. Research Fellowships are awarded to individuals with an exceptionally strong academic record who have produced innovative doctoral research in any branch of the Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences.
The Fellowships will be tenable for four years from 1 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 Cambridge Department or Faculty. 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 current stipend offered is either (a) £27,003, rising by three annual increments to £30,039 if living in College accommodation as 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 October. 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 written work for assessment amounting to a minimum of 20,000 words at the same time as their application. Apart from quotations, the work must be in English. If a complete PhD and/or published work is submitted, the applicant should indicate which parts are the most important. A maximum of 30,000 words will be assessed.
Applications open on Monday 2 September 2024 and must be completed by Monday 30 September 2024. Shortlisting will take place on Monday 13 January 2025. Those selected will be invited for interview on Friday 17 January 2025, so candidates should ensure that they will be available for interview on that day, if required. Offers will be made on Monday 20 January and must be accepted by 4.00 pm on Wednesday 22 January 2025 at the latest.
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 is an independent institution and elects its own Fellows.
Please note that the College also intends to elect two Research Fellows in Sciences in 2025; details regarding this are also on the College website.    

King’s College Cambrdige

Stipendiary Research Fellowship on the topic of Rhythm

King’s College Cambridge invites applications for a Research Fellowship from those working on the topic of Rhythm.
Applications are welcome from all those working on this topic within any area of the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences and who wish to undertake a major project over the course of the four years of this Fellowship. The brief is deliberately wide to encompass innovative thinking about the topic which has distinctive conceptualisations in different research traditions. Creative thinking is encouraged and applicants should not unduly restrict themselves to any single academic discipline nor necessarily focus on a traditionally identified paradigm. The electors to this fellowship are keen to not only encourage applications from fields which the study of rhythm is usually identified, for example music, literature and speech, but also from those who wish to pursue the topic in other domains including for example the rhythm of architecture, art, the economy and life amonst many others.
The ideal candidate for this Research Fellowship will have a strong background in a relevant area of work and be completing or have completed recently an outstanding doctoral thesis. It is not a requirement that the candidate’s doctoral studies or the work that they submit in support of their application should have concerned this topic specifically, but candidates will be expected to show in their applications how their plans for their future work relate to the work that they have already done. The successful candidate will be expected to engage broadly with the whole college community.
It is the aim of King’s Research Fellowships to develop important fields of study that are currently too narrowly restricted in their practitioners and/or their objects of analysis. For this reason, candidates are encouraged to propose creative and innovative projects which will not only make an important contribution to the specific area of interest, but also strengthen the intellectual framework of the humanities as a whole.
The successful candidate will join a lively research community which includes Research Fellows and College Research Associates as well as Fellows who hold University posts. This includes a number of Fellows working in Anthropology, Linguistics, Literature, Music and Psychology which will potentially align with the successful candidate’s project, and a wide range of other subjects which will provide both challenge to and stimulus for novel ways of approaching it. Research Fellows also engage with colleagues from the Collegiate University as a whole in the pursuit of their project.
A Research Fellowship is a postdoctoral position tenable for up to  four years. Applications are welcome from graduates of any university. Candidates will usually have completed their PhD or equivalent qualification, but must not have undertaken more than 2 years postdoctoral work or work outside of academia by 1 October 2025 (i.e., an applicants PhD cannot have been granted before 30 September 2023).
Research Fellows are members of the Governing Body, with the full privileges of all Fellows. These include all meals, a degree of financial support for expenses associated with research, and the possibility of an office and accommodation in College properties. Currently, the stipend of a Research Fellow is £24,126 prior to the award of doctorate, or £26,807 after award of doctorate, rising each year to a maximum of £30,912. An accommodation allowance of £3,530 is paid to all Stipendiary Research Fellows, and an additional living-out allowance of up to £4,000, depending on income, is available to those Fellows not living in college-owned accommodation.
In addition to pursuing research, a Research Fellow is required to live in Cambridge or close by and to participate in College life and activity. Although these are research posts, Research Fellows are encouraged to take advantage of opportunities to undertake a small amount of University or College teaching, or tutorial duties. Such activity is remunerated separately and can make an important contribution to the development of an academic career. During the course of the Fellowship, a Research Fellow may be granted an intermission for one or two years to take up a temporary position either in Cambridge or elsewhere provided that doing so would be consistent with the Research Fellow’s career development.
The closing date for applications, including references, is 9 a.m. on Monday 16 September 2024. Further information about the College may be obtained from the College website<https://www.kings.cam.ac.uk/>.

●       Short-listed candidates will be notified late November/early December, and will be invited for interview on either Wednesday 15th or Thursday 16th January 2025.

Applicants must also arrange for three letters of recommendation to be uploaded onto the site in PDF format by the closing date of the competition, 9 am (UK local time) on Monday 16 September 2024.
