Fixed term contract for a period of five years.

£31,656 to £37,768 per annum depending on skills and experience.

Are you a high performing early career researcher looking to build success with the UK’s leading business-facing University?

The University is investing in its future research staff and infrastructure, and is in the process of transitioning the delivery of its research. The role will assist in the further development of research excellence and provide both increased external profile and internal focus for Hertfordshire’s research activities.

The new Research Fellow post is offered for a five year term in the first instance. It is our expectation, however, that the successful appointee will grow their research activities to become a permanent academic staff member by the end of that period.
