The President and Fellows of St. John’s College invite applications for a Visiting Senior Research Fellowship for the academic year 2012-13, or part thereof. The Fellowship is intended to offer an experienced academic (normally with considerable postdoctoral experience) of outstanding distinction, from abroad or from the United Kingdom, an opportunity to pursue his or her own private study or research as a member of the College during a period of sabbatical leave from his or her own institution.

The Fellow will be expected to reside in Oxford during term. Accommodation (free of charge) for a married or unmarried Fellow will be provided in the vicinity of the College. The Fellow will have the right to lunch and dine in College, also free of charge. There is no stipend attached to the Fellowship and no facilities or domestic help can be offered to spouses, partners or family members (beyond sharing the above accommodation).

There is no application form for these Fellowships. Applications, in the form of a letter, should include a full curriculum vitae, the names of three referees and a statement of the research or other work proposed during the Fellowship. Applications should be received by the Academic Administrator, St. John’s College, Oxford OX1 3JP, UK, not later than Friday, 13 May 2011. Emailed and faxed applications will not be accepted.

Please note that if the successful candidate for the Visiting Senior Research Fellowship is a non EU citizen he or she will be required to obtain an Academic Visitor visa before travelling to the UK, together with any family members.

St. John’s College exists to support excellence in education and research, and is committed to equal opportunities.
