Stipendiary Moses and Mary Finley Research Fellowship

Darwin College invites applications for election to a stipendiary Moses and Mary Finley Research Fellowship in economic, social or political history starting from 1 October 2027.

The Fellowship is available for research into economic, social or political history of any period and (unlike the Finley Ancient History Fellowship) is not confined to specialists in Greek or Roman history, although they are eligible to apply.  Preference will be given to those whose interests coincide with those of the late Sir Moses Finley. Darwin College is able to elect this stipendiary Research Fellow thanks to a bequest in the Will of Sir Moses and Lady Finley.  In addition, Sir Moses bequeathed his personal library to the College. This may assist the research of the successful candidate.

Eligibility

The Fellowship is open to candidates from any university, irrespective of their age.

The Fellowship is intended for an outstanding researcher who is close to completing their PhD, or who has recently completed their PhD Degree, or an equivalent recognised degree.   No candidate should normally have completed in total more than three years of research since their PhD is conferred by 1 October 2027.  Any career breaks or part-time working will be taken into account.

Non-stipendiary Research Fellowships

Darwin College invites applications for election to several non-stipendiary Research Fellowships starting from 1 October 2027.

The candidate who heads the list will be designated the Charles and Katharine Darwin Research Fellow.

Eligibility

The Fellowships are open to candidates from any university. The Fellowships are intended for outstanding researchers of any age who are close to completing, or who have recently completed, their PhD degree, or an equivalently recognised qualification. No more than three years of research should have been undertaken since the candidate’s PhD was conferred by 1 October 2027. Any career breaks or part-time working will be taken into account.
