significant published work. The Bye-Fellowship is tenable from 1
October 2022 (or such other date as may be agreed with the successful

The Bye-Fellowship comes with a possible stipend of up to £30,000. Up
to ten free meals per week in College will also be provided, where
available. The College offers free or subsidised accommodation (some
of it suitable for double occupancy), subject to availability. The
Bye-Fellow is expected to reside in Cambridge, but research trips may
be permitted. The funds may be used to supplement an existing salary,
pay pension contributions, or as a research grant.
