College Research Associate Scheme 2024-2025

2 weeks ago


Cambridge, United Kingdom Clare College Cambridge Full time

The College Research Associate Scheme offers short-term collegiate affiliation to postdoctoral researchers and others in similar posts at the University of Cambridge who would like a college association of some kind but do not have one. They are normally expected to be available to assist with the College's teaching and should not hold similar memberships at other colleges. They are elected for a year at a time.

The criteria for selection to the scheme include academic excellence, the College's need for teaching in particular areas, and the applicant’s ability to contribute to College life. The offer is made in the expectation that the College Research Associate will reciprocate by supervising for the College. Supervision will be paid at the usual rate.

Applications are invited from all fields, but this year are particularly strongly welcomed from individuals who are willing to teach:

- Part IA or IB Engineering, including Maths and Thermofluids
- Pure Mathematics
- Mathematics for Natural Sciences
- Ancient Greek and/or Latin language teaching
- Part 1b Evolution and Animal Diversity, and/or Part 1b Ecology Evolution and Conservation

**Benefits**:
College Research Associates are offered dining rights, access to the College's sports facilities and gardens, and occasional use of College public rooms.
