Pathway to Independence Fellowship in Ecology and Conservation Biology

Clare College invites applications for a Pathway to Independence Fellowship in Ecology and Conservation Biology at Clare College. The Fellowship will be for a five-year period, with a start date of 1 October 2025 and is not renewable. Modest start-up funds will be available.
The Fellow will be hosted by a group leader in the Department of Zoology and should identify and liaise with a host, prior to application. The Fellow will be employed by Clare College and will be based in the Department of Zoology, and also on site at Clare College.
This Fellowship is intended for a researcher who has already held a first post-doctoral position and is intended to offer a pathway to independence and provides an opportunity to carry out novel research in the stimulating academic environment at Zoology. You will be a member of a research group within Zoology but will also be expected to provide College teaching for 60 hours per year. You will be expected to participate in the Clare College admissions process for the Natural Sciences Tripos and assist in the Direction of Studies in Natural Sciences.
Clare College will provide an office, meals and IT. The Fellow will be eligible to apply for travel/research expenses from Clare College.
