Research Associate Scheme 2026

The College's Research Associate (RA) Scheme offers short-term collegiate affiliation to postdoctoral researchers and others in similar posts at Cambridge. The RA Scheme offers an opportunity for involvement in the intellectual and social life of the College. RAs are primarily based at Leckhampton, the principle home of our postgraduate community, where a range of lectures and research events are held across the academic year. Leckhampton's extensive grounds include a dining hall, where informal dinners are served most nights of the week, the College's playing fields and gym, a music room, and, not least, its famous and extensive gardens.

Applicants must be of postdoctoral standing and may be graduates of any university. They must, at the time of their appointment, and for the duration of their appointment, be working at the University of Cambridge (or an associated research institution) in a post-doctoral research role. A Research Associateship at Corpus cannot be held in conjunction with a similar position at another college.

RAs will be appointed for an initial two-year period, with the possibility of renewal for another two years.

Full details are available in the Further Particulars for the post.

Application deadline:noon on Monday 13 July 2026.

Informal enquiries should be addressed to the Warden of Leckhampton, Professor John David Rhodes, by email to .
