King’s College Cambridge invites applications for a Research Fellowship from those working on the Art, Literature, Music or Visual Culture of the Global South. We are particularly interested in the analysis of creative responses to topical issues, including issues such as climate change. Applications are welcome from all those working within any of the disciplinary traditions of the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences who wish to undertake a major project over the course of the four years of this Fellowship. The brief is deliberately wide to encompass innovative thinking about the topic. Creative thinking is encouraged and applicants should not unduly restrict themselves to any single academic discipline nor necessarily focus on a traditionally identified expressive medium.

The ideal candidate for this Research Fellowship will have a strong background in a relevant area of work and be completing or have completed recently an outstanding doctoral thesis. It is not a requirement that the candidate’s doctoral studies or the work that they submit in support of their application should have concerned this topic specifically, but candidates will be expected to show in their applications how their plans for their future work relate to the work that they have already done. The successful candidate will be expected to engage broadly with the whole college community.

A Research Fellowship is a postdoctoral position tenable for up to 4-years. Applications are welcome from graduates of any university. Candidates will usually have completed their PhD or DBA but must not have undertaken more than 2 years postdoctoral work or work outside of academia by 1 October 2024 (i.e., your PhD cannot have been granted before 30 September 2022).

Application deadline: 9 a.m. (UK local time) on 18 September 2023
