Gonville & Caius College Research Fellowship Competition 2018, University of Cambridge, UK

• Application for a Research Fellowship is open to men and women in any academic discipline in Arts and Sciences.
• To be eligible for a Research Fellowship you must pass the following eligibility requirements:
  Either you are a graduate student, probably in the latter stages of your research leading to a PhD Degree
  Or
  You are a research student or post-doctoral researcher who has recently submitted your PhD thesis; this should be no earlier than 30 September 2016 for Arts candidates and no earlier than 30 September 2015 for Science candidates. Note: this is the date of your first submission, not the date of examination, award of the degree, or the submission of a revised version of the thesis.
• The College would like to make it clear that it welcomes applications from eligible candidates who are applying for or have already been appointed to a salaried post-doctoral position in a laboratory or department in Cambridge. Such persons appointed to Research Fellowships would be entitled to all the benefits of a Research Fellow apart from the stipend.
• Please view the Eligibility Requirements for further details.
• Statements of research are required and should be not more than 2,000 words, outlining their current and proposed future research. Please note that the statement will be read by people outside as well as inside the candidate's own discipline and should therefore be intelligible to scholars in other subjects.
• Applications, including two referees' reports, must be submitted online by 5.00pm on Friday 29th September 2017.

• Full submission of written work in support of the application is required at the time of application.
• Submitted work should be written in English apart from quotations, or the necessary part of text editions.
• At a latter stage short-listed science candidates may be asked to provide a statement from their proposed Head of Department confirming that adequate finance and facilities are available. In cases where short-listed candidates are not already in contact with the Department, the College will provide assistance in contacting the Head of Department.
