The Sidney Sussex College Council wishes to make elections to two Research Fellowships, each tenable for three years and not renewable, to commence on 1 September 2025. One Fellowship is intended for researchers in the Sciences (including Mathematics, Engineering and the Biological, Medical and Veterinary sciences) and the other for researchers in Historical Studies: History (ancient to contemporary); History of Art, Science or Music; Archaeology.

Research Fellowships provide opportunities for scholars at an early stage of their academic careers to establish a successful research profile. The successful candidates are expected to be either graduate students, who are expecting to submit their PhD thesis (or equivalent) no later than June 2025, or post-doctoral researchers who have completed their PhD within the last three years. 

Applications for non-stipendiary positions are welcomed from those with an alternative source of funding.
