Research fellows may join the University Pension Scheme.
Eligibility
- The Fellowships are intended for researchers early in their careers.

- Candidates who have undertaken more than five years of full-time research are unlikely to be considered. The College is prepared to consider exceptions to these criteria and candidates have the opportunity to present a case for this during the application process.
