Junior Research Fellowship Competition 2026 (Non-stipendiary)

University of Cambridge – Wolfson College

Wolfson College invites applications for up to ten non-stipendiary Junior Research Fellowships under Title BI.

In addition, with the generous support of the Isaac Newton Trust (INT), the College welcomes applications for one Isaac Newton Trust non-stipendiary Fellowship from across the STEMM subjects.

The non-stipendiary Fellowships (including the INT Fellowship), which include enhanced dining rights and annual research allowance are in any subject and tenable for one year in the first instance, commencing 1 January, 1 April or 1 October 2026 (dependent upon funding), which may be renewed for a further two years.

The Fellowships are open to graduates of any university, employed within Cambridge University or its associated institutions for the duration of their tenure. There is no age limit, but the Fellowships are designed to support those who are at an early stage in their academic careers and will normally be awarded to candidates who have recently completed a PhD degree (or equivalent qualification) or be close to completing by the start date.

Candidates must provide satisfactory evidence that they have adequate financial support for at least the first year of their Fellowship. The Fellowships do not cover the cost of University/bench fees or laboratory charges.

Interested candidates should click the 'Apply' button to apply via the CASC Fellowship Application System link on our website before the closing date at midday, on Wednesday 1 October 2025.
