THE CAMBRIDGE PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY HENSLOW RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP

FURTHER PARTICULARS

Selwyn  College  invites  applications  for  the  Henslow  Research  Fellowship,  funded  by  the  Cambridge
Philosophical Society, tenable for three years from 1 October 2026. The successful candidate will pursue research
in the fields of Natural Sciences, Engineering, (including Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology) Mathematics,
Computer  Science,  Experimental  Psychology,  Veterinary  Sciences,  or  Medical  Sciences  in  the  University  of
Cambridge.

Candidates must be completing, or have completed within the past three years, a PhD degree (for this purpose,
the date will be the date on which the thesis was approved not when it was submitted). The Fellowship is not
normally open to those who have already held a similar position.

We are committed to equal opportunities and positively welcome applications from all sections and backgrounds
of  society  as  this  helps  us  to  maintain  a  diverse  academic  community  and  foster  an  environment  that  is  truly
dynamic and engaging for all.

The  initial  stipend  for  a  Research  Fellow  with  a  PhD  will  correspond  to  the  first  step  of  an  incremental  scale,
currently  £43,310  rising  to  £45,865  in  year  3  (subject  to  the  implementation  of  an  annual  cost  of  living  rise).
Payments  for  undergraduate  small-group  teaching  (supervision)  are  additional,  and  are  paid  at  agreed
intercollegiate rates.

Selwyn College acknowledges the generosity of the Cambridge Philosophical Society in funding this post.

It is expected that accommodation would be available in College for a single Fellow, at a modest service charge.
College flats, for which rent is charged, are often available for Research Fellows with a partner.  Research Fellows
enjoy the same privileges as other Fellows; these include seven free meals at the High Table per week, allowances
for  travel  and  other  expenses  incurred  by  Fellows  in  connection  with  their  research,  and  loans  towards  the
purchase of personal computers.

The College is a relatively young institution by Cambridge standards and is located at the heart of the modern
University.  The  College  prides  itself  on  its  academic  focus  and  supportive  ethos.  It  provides  a  friendly
environment in which all the members of its scholarly community of over sixty Fellows and over five hundred
students can thrive. The concentration of the College on a single site helps create a vibrant, ambitious, supportive
and  progressive  community  that  was  one  of  the  first  Cambridge  Colleges  to  espouse  co-education  and  that
maintains a firm commitment to diversity.

The Henslow Research Fellow is expected to reside in Cambridge during term, except that, with the permission
of the College Council, periods may be spent away from Cambridge for the purpose of research.  Research Fellows
may,  in  consultation  with  the  appropriate  Directors  of  Studies,  undertake  up  to  six  hours  of  supervision  of
undergraduate students per week.

Research Fellows are members of the Governing Body of the College and are eligible for election to the College
Council and to committees.

complete their doctorates.
