Linacre College proposes to make elections to a variety of Non-Stipendiary Junior Research Fellowships tenable for two years (subject to satisfactory progress) from 1st October 2025. Junior Research Fellows will receive a research allowance of £300 per annum, enjoy Common Table dining rights in College, full access to social and sports facilities and may apply for travel grants. Candidates do not need to apply for a specific Fellowship but will be considered for all Fellowships for which they are eligible. Candidates should be engaged in or intending to engage in research at post-doctoral level in an academic department of the University of Oxford.
Applicants who do not yet have a higher research degree will normally be expected to have submitted for a doctorate before taking up a Junior Research Fellowship. These Fellowships are non-stipendiary and therefore candidates must demonstrate that they will have adequate funding and the support of their academic department for the duration of the Fellowship. Normally, the successful applicants will not have held a DPhil/PhD for more than five years, but the College will apply discretion when considering applications from those who have taken a career break.
Applications from members of all communities are welcomed. Linacre College aims to provide equality of opportunity regardless of gender, ethnicity, colour, disability, religion, family responsibility, age, occupation, marital status, sexual orientation or trade union affiliation.
The following seven positions are expected to be vacant:
- Carolyn and Franco Gianturco JRF (1) – Astrophysics or Music
- David Cockayne JRF (1) – Materials
- Edward Penley Abraham Cephalosporin JRF (3) – Biological, Chemical or Medical Sciences
- Gocha Tsetskhladze JRF (1) – Archaeology of the broad Black Sea region (including the hinterlands of Armenia and Moldova)
- Jim M. Holt JRF (1) – Natural sciences or medical sciences
Please apply by downloading and completing this application form, and emailing it with a brief curriculum vitae (no more than two A4 pages), a covering letter outlining how you would contribute to the academic and social life of the College (One A4 page), and a research statement no longer than two sides of A4 (word processed in font size of at least 11pt) to academic.office@linacre.ox.ac.uk by Wednesday 8th January 2025.
