The mission of the University of Cambridge is to contribute to society through the pursuit of education, learning, and research at the highest international levels of excellence.
Detail:
The Munby Fellow will be free to pursue bibliographical research of his/her own choosing. It is, however, expected that the Fellow’s research will be, at least in part, based directly or indirectly on the collections of the University and Colleges of Cambridge and likely to be of benefit, in the broadest sense, to scholars using those collections in the future. The Fellow will have no departmental or other staff duties and responsibilities.
Eligibility:
The Fellowship is open to graduates in any discipline of any university and nationality. Preference will be give to scholars at post-doctoral or an equivalent level. The University of Cambridge is committed to equality of opportunity. A non-stipendiary Fellowship at Darwin College will normally be available to the successful candidate, if not already a Fellow of a Cambridge College. Fellows in these categories are members of the Governing Body of the College and may take meals in the College without charge.
Applications should include the following particulars:
(a) a completed application cover sheet (form available from www.lib.cam.ac.uk/Vacancies);
(b) a curriculum vitae with a list of principal publications;
(c) a statement of the research proposed.
An election will be made in early January. There are no interviews.
Value: £25,751
Closing date: 3 September 2010.
