The College Research Associate Scheme offers short-term collegiate affiliation to postdoctoral researchers and others in similar posts at the University of Cambridge who would like a college association but do not have one.  They are normally expected to be available to assist with the College's teaching and should not hold similar memberships at other colleges.  They are elected for a year at a time. 

The criteria for selection to the scheme include academic excellence, the College's need for teaching in particular areas, and the applicant’s ability to contribute to College life. The offer is made in the expectation that the College Research Associate will reciprocate by supervising for the College. Supervision will be paid at the usual rate.

Applications are invited from all fields, but this year are particularly welcomed from individuals who are willing to teach:

• Mathematics
• Macroeconomics
• International Relations
• Psychological and Behavioural Sciences
• History

College Research Associates are offered dining rights, access to the College's sports facilities and gardens, and occasional use of College public rooms. 

Directors of Studies are happy to discuss details of teaching needs. Informal enquiries can be made via seniortutor@clare.cam.ac.uk.

Deadline for applications is Friday 21st March 2025.
