The Governing Body of St Anne’s College invites applications for the Rosemary Pountney Junior Research Fellowship in British and/or European Drama 1890–present, tenable from 21 September 2026 for a fixed term of two years. The Fellowship is offered for research in British and/or European drama from 1890–present.

The JRF is open to those at an early stage of their academic career. You will hold a PhD/DPhil or be near to completion, with a high level of research ability and strong record of education.
