Postdoctoral Research Associateships and Honorary MCR membership

Postdoctoral Research Associateships

Trinity Hall has a research associateship scheme that offers postdoctoral researchers admission into the MCR (Middle Combination Room which is for postgraduate students). These associateships (distinct from Junior Research Fellowships in terms of both duties and privileges) are available to researchers who have a contract within the University. The scheme is intended to provide postdoctoral researchers the opportunity to take full advantage of the Cambridge collegiate system by offering associates full College and MCR membership.

A comprehensive description of the scheme is available via the Short Guide for Postdoctoral Research Associates.

Please note that applications are closed for 2024-5 but will re-open again in July 2025 for the next academic year.
