Parker Library Stipendiary Early-Career Research Fellowship 2025
Corpus Christi College invites applications for a Parker Library Stipendiary Early-Career Research Fellowship tenable for one year from 1 October 2025.
Eligible applicants are expected to be at an early stage of their career (and may not have completed their doctoral work).
Applicants must pursue learning and research in a field within their choosing in the area of manuscript and rare book studies, provided that their focus is principally on some aspect of the Parker Library collections (manuscripts and/or printed books), broadly conceived. They will be expected to publish the results of their research. They will be expected to participate in the life and activities of the Parker Library e.g. through participation in public engagement works such as talks, exhibitions and social media posts.
The College’s academic environment provides favourable conditions for research, which will be undertaken freely and without oversight on the part of the College.
Rent free accommodation in College property is provided from October to early September. Early-Career Research Fellows are permitted to teach up to six hours per week for additional remuneration, and are expected to participate in the intellectual life of Leckhampton (the College's second site where most of its postgraduates are housed).
Applications should be submitted online via the CASC Fellowship Application System (FAS) at the following link https://app.casc.cam.ac.uk/fas_live/parker/ by noon on Wednesday 9 April 2025.
Any informal enquiries should be addressed to Professor Philippa Hoskin, Donnelley Fellow Librarian and Director of the Parker Library, at ph534@corpus.cam.ac.uk.
Non-Stipendiary Early-Career Research Fellowship 2025
Corpus Christi College invites applications for one Non-Stipendiary Early-Career Research Fellowship tenable for up to three years from 1 October 2025. These Fellowships are principally for early-career researchers, and not (for example) for those on a second or senior postdoctoral award. “Early career” is defined as being within four years from the date of a successful viva voce examination at the time of application (that is on 30 April 2025).
Candidates must have external funding support for their salary for the term of their Fellowship. This includes, but is not restricted to, research appointments from the Royal Society, the British Academy, the various Research Councils of the United Kingdom or the European Union (for example, Marie Curie, Human Frontiers), the Wellcome Trust or the Leverhulme Trust.
Applicants must, at the time of their appointment, and for the duration of their appointment, be working at the University of Cambridge (or an associated research institution) in a post-doctoral research role. Early-Career Research Fellows are normally expected to be resident in Cambridge for the term of their Fellowship.
An Early-Career Research Fellow is expected to pursue learning and research in their chosen field and publish the results. The College’s academic environment provides favourable conditions for research, which will be undertaken freely and without oversight on the part of the College.
Early-Career Research Fellows are permitted to teach up to six hours per week for additional remuneration, and are expected to participate in the intellectual life of Leckhampton (the College's second site where most of its postgraduates are housed).
