Junior Research Fellowships

The College intends to appoint two Junior Research Fellows (JRFs), from three separate competitions, from
1 October 2022. One competition is open to graduates who are members of Queens’ College engaged in
research in any field. The other two are open to eligible graduates who are engaged in research in either of
the following subject areas: History of Art or Architectural History; and Biology.

The purpose of the Junior Research Fellowships is to offer early-career academics of exceptional intellectual
calibre the opportunity to pursue research for up to three years at Queens’ College, Cambridge. The College
is a particularly attractive environment for research. The academic expertise sustained by the fellowship and
the postgraduate community is especially diverse, and the College library is an important international
resource for scholarship.

JRFs are intended to be early-career appointments open to graduates who are well advanced in their doctoral
research or those who have recently completed it, and they may be stipendiary or non-stipendiary. JRFs will
receive mentoring within the College. We will make all reasonable efforts to help JRFs to receive
professional and academic mentoring within the appropriate department or faculty, or other affiliated
institution of the University of Cambridge.

JRFs are members of the Senior Common Room and they are expected to play an active part in the
community of the College. They are welcome to undertake a modicum of teaching by arrangement with the
Senior Tutor.

The Fellowship is stipendiary if the appointee is to engage in full time research. Annual salary starts at
£29,176 for a postdoctoral appointment (or £25,217 for a pre-doctoral appointment), together with benefits
worth over £4,509 p.a. Candidates who have recently taken up, or are about to take up, a salaried
postdoctoral research position within the University of Cambridge are eligible and welcome to apply for a
non-stipendiary Junior Research Fellowship. Successful candidates will be encouraged to take an active part
in the academic life of the relevant department of the University of Cambridge.

Further particulars concerning the posts are to be found below.
