Trinity College is offering junior research fellowships to pursue research for up to four years. The Fellowships are available in all branches of University studies. The basic obligation of a Research Fellow is to engage full-time in research and its dissemination. The number of Research Fellows elected varies from year to year depending on the strength of competition; in recent years it has been between 5 and 8. The application deadline is 28 August 2015.
Study Subject(s): Research may be on a topic essentially of the Fellow’s own choice, though for an experimental scientist suitable arrangements must be made with one of the laboratories in the University.
Course Level: Fellowship provides an opportunity to spend up to four years in Cambridge undertaking post-doctoral research or scholarly work at an early stage of an academic career.
Scholarship Provider: Trinity College, University of Cambridge, UK
Scholarship can be taken at: UK
Eligibility: The competition is open only to those for whom this Fellowship would be their first substantial paid academic or research appointment, discounting (i) any scholarship or studentship to assist study for a degree and (ii) up to nine months of post-doctoral work, counted from the date of submission of their PhD thesis to the date of the decisive meeting of the Fellowship Electors on 11 January 2016. The Electors will take into account any advantage that they may consider a candidate to have derived from the length of time taken in study or research.

Scholarship Description: Trinity College intends to hold an election of Junior Research Fellows in 2016.

The Fellowships are available in all branches of University studies.

What does it cover? For each year spent doing research in Cambridge, a Research Fellow receives a stipend from the College of £25,153 (reviewable in line with academic stipends), less any emolument received from a source outside College. However, a Fellow who is registered for a further course of study in the United Kingdom (e.g. a PhD degree) will normally receive, instead of a stipend, a student maintenance grant at the rate of £18,450 per annum until completion of the course of study. A Fellow who is following a comparable course of study outside the United Kingdom will receive a stipend of £23,884 per annum. Stipends will be reduced in respect of any emolument received from a source outside College. In addition, a Research Fellow enjoys all the other privileges of a Fellow – if single, a residential set of rooms in the College free of rent (if available and subject to certain conditions); otherwise, a housing allowance of £6,240 per annum and the opportunity to rent a College-owned flat; free meals at the High Table; access to funds for the support of research and attendance at conferences; and use of all the College’s facilities.
Selection Criteria: Eligible candidates are elected to Research Fellowships at Trinity on the basis of the quality of the research they submit, and the evidence that it provides of high originality and promise. A short-listing procedure (which demands written work and references) is used to select the strongest candidates, who will then be required to submit a dissertation on a subject connected with some branch or branches of University studies, and also a separate statement of about 2,000 words.
Notification: A short-list of candidates will be drawn up in the week beginning 5 October 2015. Only those placed on the short-list will be invited to submit a dissertation and a 2,000 word summary, for which the deadline is 12.00 noon (GMT) on Monday 26 October 2015.

-Arrange for your research supervisor to submit a statement
-Arrange for two references from testimonial referees (other than your research supervisor)
