HONG KONG LINK EARLY-CAREER RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP / COLLEGE LECTURESHIP IN MODERN BRITISH HISTORY (1750 TO THE PRESENT) or AMERICAN HISTORY

Following a generous benefaction from alumni and friends in Hong Kong, the College seeks to appoint an Early-Career Research Fellow/College Lecturer in History from September 2026 for a fixed term of four years. Applications are invited from outstanding researchers in the field of modern British history (1750 to the present) or American history. It is envisaged that the successful candidate will be a scholar in the early stages of their career for whom a short-term post would be an attractive opportunity to enhance their research and academic profile. They will be elected a Fellow of the College, and will carry the title of Hong Kong Link Early-Career Research Fellow and College Lecturer in History.

The appointment will be for a fixed term of up to four years, that is from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2030. A pensionable stipend will be determined from the University General Stipend and salary scales. The stipend for the post is based on point 44 of the University salary spine (£41,064pa as of 1 August 2025). An annual allowance for research expenses is available, and other privileges include free medical insurance (a taxable benefit) and a modest entertainment allowance.

A Research Fellow is expected to pursue learning and research in their chosen field and publish the results. The College’s academic environment provides favourable conditions for research, which will be undertaken freely and without oversight on the part of the College.

As a College Lecturer, the teaching requirement will be up to six hours per week during Full Term, normally comprised of small-group supervisions for the undergraduates of Corpus Christi College or, by exchange arrangements, of other Colleges.
