Jesus College Cambridge invites applications for two Arts Research Fellowships for 2026. These fellowships are designed for early-career researchers specializing in subjects such as Anglo-Saxon, Norse, and Celtic (ASNC), Education Studies, English, Law, Modern Languages, and Theology. The College aims to support cutting-edge research and innovation within its state-of-the-art West Court development. The fellowships are fixed-term for three years and are expected to commence on October 1, 2027. This opportunity provides a platform for scholars to advance their research within a collegiate university environment. Jesus College is committed to fostering a vibrant academic community. Successful candidates will receive a remuneration package set by the University of Cambridge salary scale, starting from £32,882. Additionally, fellows are provided with free dinner or lunch and may be eligible for reimbursement of certain research-related expenses. Fellows also have the option to join the University Pension Scheme, contributing to a comprehensive support system for their research endeavors. The program targets individuals who are either in the final stages of their PhD research or who have recently been awarded their PhD. The college specifies that candidates who have undertaken more than five years of full-time research are generally not considered, though exceptions may be made based on a presented case.
The Fellowships are intended for researchers early in their careers. Successful candidates are expected to be either graduate students, probably in the latter stages of their research leading to a PhD Degree, or post-doctoral researchers who have recently been awarded their PhD Degree. Candidates who have undertaken more than five years of full-time research are unlikely to be considered. The College is prepared to consider exceptions to these criteria and candidates have the opportunity to present a case for this during the application process.
