Early Career Matched Funding
The Isaac Newton Trust is proud to be able to provide partial salary support for post-doctoral researchers who have secured Early Career Fellowships in a number of prestigious competitions. Foremost among these awards are:
- Academic Career Development Fellowships in Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences
- Junior Research Fellowships (up to 2 Stipendiary and 2 Non-Stipendiary a year)
- Leverhulme Early Career Fellowships
Other Fellowship support from INT
For Early Career Researchers who have secured or are applying for fellowship funding, they may also apply under the Fellowship Support scheme if additional funding is needed.
Please note that the INT cannot contribute to match-funding for Wellcome Trust Interdisciplinary Junior Fellowships for which the matching funds must come from the host department.
College Affiliation
Many postdocs value a formal attachment to one of Colleges at the University of Cambridge.
All the colleges at Cambridge offer affiliation opportunities for postdoctoral fellows, providing additional academic and social networks beyond the host department. Please note that you do not need to have a College connection, but most researchers find it helpful to have a College where they can network with researchers, fellows, and students across the full spectrum of subjects, nationalities and levels of seniority, and maybe get involved in some teaching if the opportunity arises.
The Postdoc Academy lists many professional neworking opportunities on their website, including current unsalaried opportunities at Colleges. You can also may find others on the University’s jobs site and the Reporter.
The Postdoc Academy also discuss what different College affiliations are and what the application process is like in their 'Understanding College Affiliations at Cambridge' podcast
