Junior Research Fellowships
The College normally appoints two non-stipendiary JRFs a year, one in the humanities/social sciences and one in the sciences. Applicants should be close to completing their doctorate, or have obtained it within the last 2 years. The elected JRFs should hold an appointment within, or have an association with, an Oxford Faculty/Department and be prepared to provide evidence of such association, including evidence of financial support. The College post will run co-terminously with the University post and/or the external funding; we would normally expect this funding to be for 3 years, but we will consider holders of 2-year grants. Applicants for British Academy Post-Doctoral Research Fellowships are particularly encouraged to apply. Our JRFs receive a research allowance (currently £875), hospitality authority (currently £284) and full common table rights (free lunch and dinner every day that the College kitchen is open). The College may be able to provide office space but this cannot be guaranteed; living accommodation cannot normally be offered. Teaching opportunities may be made available, and payment will be made at the Senior Tutors' Committee rates unless it is a condition of the external funding received by the JRF that s/he provide teaching.
The next appointments will be made in June 2012 with the Fellowship to be taken up from October 2012, assuming that candidates are successful in applications for external funding. For further details, please see our Vacancies page.
