"Emmanuel College Research Fellowships 2026"

The Governing Body of Emmanuel College invites applications for three stipendiary Research Fellowships in any subject; all three Fellowships are for a three-year fixed term, and will commence on 1 October, 2026.

Applications will be accepted from any graduate of a university within or outside the United Kingdom. These Fellowships are intended for outstanding researchers early in their careers: eligibility for the competition will normally be restricted to Ph.D. candidates who are in the latter stages of their research and close to submission, or post-doctoral researchers who submitted their Ph.D. thesis on or after 1st October, 2024. Candidates should note that these Fellowships are extremely competitive.

The current stipends are £39,795 for post-doctoral Research Fellows and £38,019 for pre-doctoral Research Fellows. Pre-doctoral Research Fellows will be responsible for any University fee they incur up to the level of a UK post-graduate student; the College will contribute the difference if a higher fee is applicable. Fellows are permitted to receive additional remuneration for up to six hours College or University teaching a week.

Emmanuel College is an open and inclusive community that has a policy of equality of opportunity for all. Applications are welcome regardless of background, race, colour, ethnic or national origin, sex, marital status, disability, sexual orientation, religious beliefs or age.
