University of Oxford - Trinity College
Junior Research Fellowship in Classics (Language and Literature)

Applications are invited for a stipendiary Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) in Classics (Language and Literature), tenable for a fixed term of three years from 1 October 2023. A Junior Research Fellowship is a career development post, designed to enable an outstanding early career academic to undertake an independent programme of research that substantially develops or is different from their doctoral research. The objectives of the College in making this appointment are to support early career academics in their first independent work, to develop and strengthen the research environment of the College, and to contribute to the goal of maintaining the University of Oxford as a leading centre for research.

The starting salary for this post is point 30 on the HE single pay spine (currently £35,333 p.a.), rising to points 31 and 32 on this scale in years 2 and 3 of the appointment.

The Fellowship is open to researchers who:

  *   have recently been awarded a doctorate or who are very close to submission of their doctoral thesis. Applicants awarded a PhD following a viva voce examination held prior to 1 October 2021 will not be considered unless there are specific extenuating circumstances, such as an interruption to their academic career due to parental leave or serious illness.
  *   have not held a comparable career development appointment at Oxford or another university. A comparable appointment is deemed to be a salaried, research-only appointment for the purposes of self-directed research.

Applications should be sent by email to the Academic Administrator (Diese E-Mail-Adresse ist vor Spambots geschützt! Zur Anzeige muss JavaScript eingeschaltet sein.<mailto:Diese E-Mail-Adresse ist vor Spambots geschützt!
