JRF Competition opens for 2025 entry

Wolfson College is currently home to over 30 Junior Research Fellows (JRFs). This group of early career academics specialise in a diverse range of subjects from cognitive neuroscience to anthropology and international development.

The College selects ten new JRFs each year, each of whom bring new ideas to the fore and mentor and inspire our graduate students. These Fellowships include an annual research allowance and dining privileges at Wolfson. They are usually awarded to candidates who have recently completed their PhD, or an equivalent qualification, or are close to completing it. Candidates from any subject are welcome to apply for a one-year period starting from 1 January, 1 April or 1 October 2025, dependent on funding, with scope to renew for a further two years.

Further particulars and information on how to apply through the CASC Fellowship Application System can be found by clicking through to our JRF page. Applications close on Tuesday 1 October 2024 at midday.

"We welcome early career researchers in all disciplines to join our diverse and inclusive community as JRFs. At Wolfson, you will learn to see the world in a different way."
Professor Jane Clarke, Wolfson College President
