Applications for one of two Junior Research Fellowships are open to candidates in the following humanities and social science disciplines: archaeology; economics; education; history; law; politics and international relations; sociology and social anthropology. If you are unsure if your research will be eligible, please email [email protected].

The successful candidates will be selected by Clare College on their excellent records of research in their chosen subjects and the potential to pursue that research at the highest level.

Applications are invited from candidates who have completed less than five years' full-time research, or part-time equivalent, in the relevant disciplines by 1 October 2023. The fellowship is tenable for three years.

For more details about the fellowships and how to apply, please go to https://www.clare.cam.ac.uk/JRF-Competition-2023/  

Statements of research are required. They should be no more than 1,000 words, outlining the work candidates would submit in support of their application and the research they propose to pursue if elected. The statement may be read by people outside the candidate's discipline and should therefore be intelligible to scholars in other fields of learning.

Candidates must provide details for two referees who have agreed to submit a reference through this system. At least one of the referees should be familiar with the writings to be submitted. One referee should normally be your supervisor.

Application Deadline: 21 November 2022
