The Sidney Sussex College Council, University of Cambridge, wishes to make elections to two Research Fellowships, each tenable for three years and not renewable, to commence on 1st September 2019. One Fellowship is intended for researchers in the Sciences (including Mathematics, Engineering and the Medical and Veterinary sciences) the other for those researching subjects studied in the School of Arts and Humanities (including Architecture, History of Art, Classics, Divinity, English, Modern and Medieval Languages, Music and Philosophy).

These Fellowships are primarily intended to provide opportunities for scholars at an early stage of their academic careers to establish a successful research profile. A successful applicant is expected to be either a graduate student, expecting to submit their PhD Degree (or equivalent) no later than June 2019, or a post-doctoral researcher with less than three years since completing their PhD Degree. Candidates should only apply if they have the right to work in the UK.

The holder of a Research Fellowship will be permitted to teach for up to four hours per week, with priority being given to teaching for the College. Additional payment will be made for this teaching at standard University supervision rates. Prior permission of the College Council is required for other paid work and all emoluments received must be disclosed to the Council. Council may reduce the stipend in the light of other income.
