Parker Library Stipendiary Early-Career Research Fellowship

Corpus Christi College, Cambridge (UK) invites applications for a Parker Library Stipendiary Early-Career Research Fellowship tenable for one year from 1 October 2025.

Eligible applicants are expected to be at an early stage of their career (and may not have completed their doctoral work).

Applicants must pursue learning and research in a field within their choosing in the area of manuscript and rare book studies, provided that their focus is principally on some aspect of the Parker Library collections (manuscripts and/or printed books), broadly conceived. They will be expected to publish the results of their research. They will be expected to participate in the life and activities of the Parker Library e.g. through participation in public engagement works such as talks, exhibitions and social media posts.

The College’s academic environment provides favourable conditions for research, which will be undertaken freely and without oversight on the part of the College. 

Rent free accommodation in College property is provided from October to early September. Early-Career Research Fellows are permitted to teach up to six hours per week for additional remuneration, and are expected to participate in the intellectual life of Leckhampton (the College's second site where most of its postgraduates are housed).
