Stipendiary Research Fellowship in the Social and cultural aspects of migration/post-migration
King’s College Cambridge invites applications for a Research Fellowship from those working on the Social and cultural aspects of migration and/or post-migration.
Applications are welcome from all those working within any area 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 paradigm.
A Research Fellowship is a postdoctoral position tenable for up to four years. Applications are welcome from graduates of any university. Candidates will usually have completed their PhD or equivalent qualification, but must not have undertaken more than 2 years postdoctoral work or work outside of academia by 1 October 2025 (i.e., an applicants PhD cannot have been granted before 30 September 2023).
Eligibility
Graduates of any university are eligible. Candidates will usually have completed their PhD but must not have undertaken more than 2 years of postdoctoral work by 1 October 2025 (i.e. your PhD cannot have been granted before 30 September 2023).
The College has a responsibility to ensure that all employees are eligible to live and work in the UK. If you do not have the right to work in the UK already, any offer we make will be conditional upon you gaining it. The College will give informal advice and assistance but ultimately it will be the responsibility of the candidate to fulfil the necessary visa requirements and obtain a visa.
