Andrew W Mellon Foundation / Research Forum Postdoctoral Fellow (Forum Research Activities Coordinator) (for Courtauld Students only)

One-year fixed term post from 1 January 2012

£27,988 per annum



This scheme offers a recent postdoctoral scholar the possibility to pursue a research project and to gain experience in working in a research environment, developing, organising and promoting the activities of the Research Forum, particularly within the postgraduate community. This is a full time post divided between research and administration; it does not involve any teaching. Where teaching commitments are in place either at The Courtauld or elsewhere, these will have to be renegotiated. This will enhance the appointee’s curriculum vitae and advance their prospects of obtaining other research awards and posts within the academic community. Applicants must have received their doctorate by March 2012 (usually within two years prior to taking up the award).

The applications received by the closing date of 7 October 2011 will be reviewed by the Head of Research and a Faculty Committee with decisions reported to the Research Committee in early November 2011.

Candidates who are nominated by their Courtauld Institute of Art Supervisors will be requested to submit applications which should include a) a cover letter explaining the candidate’s specific interest in the Fellowship; b) a completed application form; c) a letter of recommendation from their supervisor; and d) an equal opportunities monitoring form. These should be sent to the HR Manager or email recruitment@courtauld.ac.uk

Closing date for applications: 7 October 2011
