Job Description:
Applications are invited for an Ernest Oppenheimer Early Career Research Fellowship to be held at Cambridge University in Colloid Science, as broadly interpreted within the fields of biology, chemistry, physics, materials science and engineering. These Fellowships are intended to provide an opportunity for independent research, though the holders usually work in collaboration with an established research group. Applications are encouraged from researchers who will have completed a PhD by 1 October 2025 and have normally spent not more than three years after a PhD viva or defense in post-doctoral research by 1 October 2025.
The post will be based in Cambridge in an appropriate department.
Tenure is for three years commencing from 1 October 2025. The stipend range is £36,924 - £45,163 p.a. Automatic annual increments will go up to Single Salary Spine point 48 only. A contribution may be made towards relocation expenses, and up to £20k p.a. will be made available for research expenses.
The Oppenheimer Fellowship cannot be held concurrently with any other paid position, or position which would normally attract a stipend.
You will need to upload:
(a) Curriculum Vitae (2 pages maximum) including academic career, qualifications (with class of degree and position in course as x/y), any relevant teaching experience, list of papers published (only papers with a DOI may be quoted). The list of papers should give the titles of the papers, the complete author list and the name of the journal, and should be numbered, not bulleted.
(b) Two statements, describing respectively your previous and current research (1 page maximum), and the proposed research programme, including its relevance to broad colloid science (3 pages maximum).
(c) A completed Head of Department Written Approval form (completed by the Head of the Department in Cambridge in which you hope to work).
The Committee of Management hopes to make a decision by the middle of February 2025.
The decision of the Committee of Management will be final. It is not possible, given the number of applications received, to provide unsuccessful candidates with feedback.
Informal enquiries may be directed to Georgina Fuller at or to the Departmental Administrator at the Department in which you hope to work.
The University actively supports equality, diversity and inclusion and encourages applications from all sections of society.
The University has a responsibility to ensure that all employees are eligible to live and work in the UK.
