Emmanuel College Cambridge Fellowship in Social Anthropology and African Studies

The Governing Body of Emmanuel College invites applications for three stipendiary Research Fellowships in any subject; all three Fellowships are for a three-year fixed term, and will commence on 1st October 2026.
Applications will be accepted from any graduate of a university within or outside the United Kingdom.
These Fellowships are intended for outstanding researchers early in their careers: eligibility for the competition will normally be restricted to Ph.D. candidates who are in the latter stages of their research and close to submission, or post-doctoral researchers who submitted their Ph.D. thesis on or after 1st October, 2024. Candidates should note that these Fellowships are extremely competitive.
The Research Fellowship online application system will be available from Tuesday 26th August 2025. From this date you will be given access to register an application online. This will enable you to save your application, to revisit/edit before submitting it, or to check the status of your application.
The competition will close at 5.00pm on Friday 26th September 2025 and incomplete or late applications will NOT be accepted after this date.
Emmanuel College is an open and inclusive community that has a policy of equality of opportunity for all. Applications are welcome regardless of background, race, colour, ethnic or national origin, sex, marital status, disability, sexual orientation, religious beliefs or age.
