St John’s College Cambridge is inviting applications from graduates to carry
out independent research in a stimulating and supportive academic environment.
The aim of the
fellowship is to provide financial help to international students.
The Fellowships
offer an opportunity to carry out independent research in a stimulating and
supportive academic environment.
The work of St
John’s College is built on its four aims. All our activities have their
foundations in at least one of these guiding principles: Educat
ion, Religion,
Learning, and Research.
Course
Level: Fellowships
are available to pursue research for outstanding researchers early in their
careers.
Study
Subject: Fellowships
are awarded to learn any of the subjects offered by the university.
Scholarship
Award:
The annual salary of Fellows who are not full-time students working for a
degree or other qualification is at present on the scale £26,829 to £29,301 and
Fellows are permitted to receive additional remuneration for up to six hours’
College or University teaching a week. Fellows who are full-time students will
receive a reduced salary until completion of their courses. The salary for a
Fellow who has other remunerations (other than that for up to six hours of
College or University teaching) will be reduced by the total amount of this
remuneration.
Fellows may apply
for grants to assist with the cost of their research, including obtaining
academic material, travel expenses and the cost of extended periods of research
if based outside Cambridge. Conference grants and book allowances are also
available.
Office accommodation
is provided for Fellows who do not live in College. Fellows wishing to reside
with a partner/ family will be eligible for a housing allowance. Fellows
wishing to live in College are provided with residential accommodation with
charges for services and supplies. Fellows are entitled to a maximum of 90 free
lunches/dinners in each quarter of a year.
