INT Academic Career Development Fellowships offer the opportunity for exceptional scholars in selected subjects in the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences to contribute to both research and teaching within a Faculty and College environment, offering excellent preparation for subsequent academic appointments at Cambridge or elsewhere.
INT Academic Career Development Fellows will have an opportunity to:
- enjoy protected research time to pursue an independent project;
- be embedded in a Faculty research and teaching culture;
- teach in College in small groups (in some cases, to act as a College Director of Studies);
- teach undergraduate and/or Masters students in a Faculty setting;
- be mentored by Faculty members in academic skills (teaching, research, publication, grant applications, academic administration)
- become a member of the INT’s Fellowship community.
Eligible candidates will be at an early stage of their career typically with less than three years’ experience post-PhD/equivalent, exclusive of any career breaks. They will either already hold a PhD, or have an equivalent qualification, or will have submitted their doctoral dissertation by the Fellowship application deadline.
- all Colleges are potentially eligible providing they have a Department/Faculty partner,
- INT provides the research element (40%)
- a Faculty/Department provides 30% for Faculty teaching
- a College (or possibly two Colleges together) will provide 30% for up to 80 hours teaching
- For certain Colleges (those eligible for an INT JRF), INT may offer supplementary funds to help cover the College’s 30% salary contribution (see How to Apply)
