At Wolfson, our CRAs join a community of scholars and academics whose commitment to innovative research and active engagement with 21st century issues is the foundation of our lively research culture. This ensures that our current students - the next generation of researchers - receive outstanding mentoring and guidance.

Up to 10 CRA positions are available to those actively engaged in research within the University of Cambridge and its associated institutions.

The College is looking for outstanding and creative researchers in any discipline, particularly those who can contribute to the Wolfson College Interdisciplinary Research Hubs. The hubs bring College members together to explore and address some of the most urgent issues confronting the world today.
