Henslow Research Fellow

Lucy Cavendish College, University of Cambridge, through the generous support of the Cambridge Philosophical Society, is offering a stipendiary Henslow Research Fellowship (Fellowship in Class D) in accordance with the Philosophical Society’s aims to “promote research in all branches of science and to encourage the communication of the results of scientific research.”

The Research Fellowship will be tenable for one year in the first instance from 1 October 2023 and will be renewable annually until 30 September 2026, when the Research Fellowship will terminate. The Research Fellowship is open for candidates who have completed their PhD or equivalent/s and who are working in the fields of Natural Sciences, Engineering, Mathematics, Computer Science and Clinical Sciences.

The stipend for the Research Fellowship will be £22,913 per annum, depending on funding already available to the candidate. Candidates who wish to hold the Research Fellowship on a part-time basis will also be considered, in which case the stipend would be pro-rata. The successful candidate will be expected to become a member of the College, to reside in or close to Cambridge and to participate fully in College life. The successful candidate will be encouraged to undertake small group teaching in their chosen subject area on behalf of the College for a maximum of four hours per week during term (for which an additional payment would be made).

Stipendiary Research Fellows are entitled to a meals allowance and a small travel/book grant and may also be offered accommodation in College, subject to availability.

The appointment will be conditional upon the successful candidate providing satisfactory evidence of the right to work in England in the capacity offered.
