Churchill College intends to appoint up to 16 Postdoctoral By-Fellows from the community of postdoctoral researchers of the University of Cambridge and its associated research institutes. The appointments will be for up to three years from 1st October 2024.

Profile

Postdoctoral By-Fellows contribute to a significant community of postdocs among the Churchill Fellowship. The College currently has 38 Postdoctoral By-Fellows to which we wish to further add and strengthen. Postdoctoral By-Fellows at Churchill College are full members of the Senior Common Room, possess generous dining rights, have access to sports and music facilities, and varied opportunities for participation in the academic and social life of the College.  Research expenses can be claimed up to £1000 p.a. The positions involve no formal teaching requirement, although it is expected that appointees will interact with postgraduate students through the College’s informal mentoring scheme as well as contribute to the College’s academic mission in other ways. Opportunities for undergraduate teaching may be available in some subjects and can be explored through discussion with relevant Directors of Study. No stipend or honorarium is payable, and no College accommodation is provided. Postdoctoral By-Fellows may not simultaneously be fellows, by-fellows, or hold a similar position at another college.

One of the By-Fellowships awarded this round will be reserved for candidates in STEM disciplines who can demonstrate a commitment to sustainability and will be expected to act to continue that mission in College. The Sustainability By-Fellow has access to a further £1000p.a. to support academic activity within this theme. The College normally has two further Sustainability By-Fellows with whom the new Fellow will be expected to coordinate with.

Criteria

Applications are welcomed in any subject. Applicants must hold a salaried postdoctoral position or personal fellowship in the University or one of its associated research institutes, with tenure for at least two years from the date of application, that is until April 2026. Appointments will be made on the basis of academic distinction and potential contribution to the academic community at Churchill College. The College would be very pleased to accept applications from underrepresented groups, and, in addition, candidates working in the fields of sustainability, equality and diversity, and postcolonial studies.
