Early Career Research Fellowship - Science

Applications are invited for a Research Fellowship in the following Science subjects – Biological Sciences; Chemical Engineering; Chemistry; Experimental Psychology; Medical and Veterinary Sciences – which will normally be tenable for three years from 1 October 2025. The Fellowship is open to graduates of any gender, of any university, with no age limit, but will normally be awarded to candidates who have recently completed their PhD or are close to completion.  These Fellowships are initial (normally) post-doctoral positions appropriate to the start of an academic career.

The prime duty of a Research Fellow is to engage in research; Research Fellows are also welcome to undertake supervision teaching, if they wish, within a limit of six hours per week. Research Fellows are not expected to undertake any additional administrative duties, but as trustees should attend meetings of the College’s Governing Body.

The pensionable stipend of post-PhD Research Fellows is currently £27,181 (pre-PhD £24,248), cost of living award pending.

Trinity Hall operates a Joint Application Scheme for Early Career Research Fellowships with a number of other Cambridge colleges, and applications will be considered by all participating colleges offering Fellowships in the relevant subjects. Candidates are advised that competition is likely to be intense with many hundreds of applications received each year.

Candidates are warned that they are responsible for checking their eligibility to take up the post under UK immigration rules.
