The College Research Associate Scheme offers short-term collegiate affiliation to postdoctoral researchers and others in similar posts in Cambridge who would like a college association of some kind but do not have one. They are normally expected to be available to assist with the College's teaching and should not hold similar memberships at other colleges. They are elected for a year at a time.
The criteria for selection to the scheme include academic excellence, the College's need for teaching in particular areas, and the applicant’s ability to contribute to College life. The offer is made in the expectation that the College Research Associate will reciprocate by supervising for the College. Supervision will be paid at the usual rate.
Applications are invited from all fields, but this year are particularly strongly welcomed from individuals who are willing to teach:
- Biology of Cells Part IA
- Cellular and Developmental Biology Part IB
- Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology
- Chemistry
- Mathematics for Natural Sciences Part IA and/or IB
- Physics
- Psychology and Behavioural Sciences (PBS 1-4)
- Pure Mathematics
- History Part IA and IB
- History and Politics Part IA and IB
- History and Modern Languages Part IA and IB
- Human Geography
College Research Associates are offered dining rights, access to the College's sports facilities and gardens, and occasional use of College public rooms.
Applications must be made using the application form which should be sent by email to Sophie King, Fellowship Administrator, srk35@cam.ac.uk. The closing date for applications is Monday 27 March 2023.
