St John’s College invites applications for up to four Research Fellowships, tenable for up to four years from 1 October 2021. The Fellowships offer an opportunity to carry out independent research in a stimulating and supportive academic environment, and applications will be accepted from any graduate of a university within or outside the United Kingdom. Successful candidates are normally expected to be either graduate students in the latter stages of their research leading to a PhD, or post-doctoral researchers who have been awarded their PhD within the last two years. Applications from candidates who have recently taken career breaks are especially welcome.          

Research Fellows may apply for grants for academic materials, travel expenses and the cost of extended periods of research if based outside Cambridge. Conference grants and book allowances are also available.
