Junior Research Fellowships (Sciences)

Christ Church invites applications for up to two Junior Research Fellowships in the Sciences from the subjects listed below, with effect from 1 October 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter. 

• Chemistry

• Engineering

• Biology

Junior Research Fellowships are fellowships for full-time research offered by Oxford colleges to early career researchers and provide an unrivalled opportunity to establish a research profile as a member of a collegiate community.

The basic obligation of a Junior Research Fellow is to engage full-time in research and its dissemination in some branch of the Sciences or Social Sciences. The Junior Research Fellow will be expected to propose, plan and manage a high-quality programme of original research, and publicise the outcomes of that research through presentation of papers and publications. The successful candidate will have a coherent plan of research for the duration of the appointment which can either be the further development of doctoral work or an entirely new area and which promises to make a valuable contribution to the candidate’s field.

For more information, including how to apply, please see the attached Further Particulars.
