Junior Research Fellowship in Chemistry or Physics

Applications are invited for a stipendiary Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) in Chemistry or Physics, tenable for a fixed term of three years from 1 October 2022. The objectives of the College in making this appointment are to support outstanding early career academics in their first independent work, to develop and strengthen the research environment of the College, and to contribute to the goal of maintaining the University of Oxford as a leading centre for research. The starting salary is point 30 on the HE single pay spine (£34,304 p.a.), rising to points 31 and 32 on this scale in years 2 and 3 of the appointment.

The Fellowship is open to researchers who:

• have recently been awarded a doctorate or who are very close to submission of their doctoral thesis. Applicants awarded a PhD following a viva voce examination held prior to 1 October 2020 will not be considered unless there are specific extenuating circumstances, such as interruption to their academic career due to parental leave or illness.

• have not held a comparable career development appointment at Oxford or another university. A comparable appointment is deemed to be a salaried, research-only appointment for the purposes of self-directed research.

Applications should be sent by email to the Academic Administrator ([email protected] ) by 12 noon (UK time) on 26th January 2022.

Further particulars, selection criteria, and information about how to apply for this post, may be obtained from the Trinity College website: http://www.trinity.ox.ac.uk/vacancies/.
