Mary Somerville Junior Research Fellowship in German Studies 2025 -2028 Somerville College invites applications for a full-time Stipendiary Mary Somerville Junior Research Fellowship for the period 1 October 2025 to 30 September 2028 (Not renewable thereafter). The Fellowship is offered for research in the field wholly or partly within German studies. Comparative and interdisciplinary proposals are welcome. Junior Research Fellows play an important part in the intellectual and social life of the College and such Fellowships are designed to support academics in the early stages of their careers. The majority of the Mary Somerville JRF’s time will be devoted to research and publication in their chosen academic field. Somerville takes great pride in its pioneering history, its academic excellence, and its intellectual and social openness. It was founded in 1879 as a non-sectarian College, and one of the first Oxford Colleges to admit women tutors and students. It has been a mixed College since 1994. It was also one of the first to teach Modern Languages, long before the University introduced it as a subject in 1903. There are approximately 350 graduate students currently reading for masters and doctoral degrees and approximately 400 undergraduates following three and four-year courses across a wide range of disciplines.
