Non-Stipendiary Junior Research Fellowships

The School of Philosophy & Art History offers up to two non-stipendiary Junior Research Fellowships each year, commencing in October.  These are available for two years, and in exceptional cases may be extended for a further period of no more than two years.  Although no salary is attached Fellows are entitled to shared office space equipped with computing facilities, and the use of all library and school facilities.  There are no teaching duties associated with the positions, however Fellows may be entitled to take on teaching, if available, for which they are paid at the usual University rates.

Candidates should have recently completed their PhD, or should have done so by the time the Fellowship starts. Normally applicants will not be considered if more than 3 years have elapsed since they received their PhD. (Exceptions will be made where a candidate's postdoctoral career has been interrupted by, for example, maternity leave, childcare, or illness. In such cases, applications should be accompanied by a statement setting out the case for an exception being made.) Preference will be given to candidates who have not already held a Junior Research Fellowship in the School or elsewhere. Selection of candidates takes place in June/July each year.

Current Fellows are: Jeffrey Byrnes, Dr Matteo Falomi, Dr Steven Gormley and Baldwin Wong.
