Research Fellows

Research Fellows are highly enthusiastic and gifted individuals who are usually at the beginning of their academic careers. The College runs an annual competition to hand-pick the most promising applicants for these sought-after positions. Research Fellows (technically referred to as Fellows under Title A) are supported by the College for three years while they pursue their research interests in a world-leading institution, and become an integral and active part of the College's academic community.
