Centenary Research Fellowship 2025

Applications are invited for the stipendiary Centenary Research Fellowship in the following arts and humanities subjects: Anglo Saxon, Norse and Celtic, Architecture, Asian and Middle Eastern Studies, Classics, Digital Humanities, Divinity, English, Film Studies, History of Art, Modern and Medieval Languages and Linguistics, Music, and Philosophy.

Normally tenable for three years from 1 October 2025, the Fellowship is open to graduates of any University, with no age limit, but will normally be awarded to candidates who have recently completed their doctoral degree or are very close to completion. The function of this Fellowship is as an initial post doctoral position appropriate to the start of an academic career.

The prime duty of a Research Fellow will be to pursue research and they will be expected to provide a written report on the progress of their research each year.

The initial pensionable stipend for a Research Fellow with a PhD (and who does not already have a salaried position) is currently £23,581 rising to £25,433 in year 3. The non-incremental stipend for a Research Fellow without a PhD is currently £21,780. The stipend will rise to the figures quoted above upon submission of the doctoral thesis for examination. We also provide accommodation at highly subsidised rates.

Applicants who are shortlisted for interview will need to prove their eligibility to work in the UK. Please see: Right to work in the UK | Selwyn College
