Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship in Science, Medicine and Literature at the University of Oxford.

Grade 7: Salary in the range £29,541 - £31,331 p.a.

Applications are invited for a two-year research and teaching fellowship in Science, Medicine and Literature, from September or October 2013 for an outstanding academic at an early stage of his or her career.

The Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowships are designed to give their holders supported experience in a broad range of academic duties. The scheme aims to find some of the ablest and most promising academics, at the stage at which they have completed their doctorates and are starting out on a second research theme, and to equip them for an academic career. We expect the scheme to produce a group of talented academics equipped with the necessary teaching and research skills and experience to be prime candidates for appointment to tenured, or tenure-track, posts at top universities.

At the time of taking up the appointment, applicants must hold a masters degree and either have completed a PhD or for candidates in national education systems where the PhD does not apply, be a candidate for the appropriate doctoral examination. If holding a doctorate, applicants must have completed it no earlier than 1 October 2009.

Applications must be received by 12.00 pm UK time on Tuesday 12 March 2013.
