Opening for Lucy Cavendish College Postdoctoral Research Associates
Join our growing community of researchers shaping solutions for the future.
We are a trailblazer at the University of Cambridge and we are proud to be a driving force of positive change.
Since our founding, Lucy Cavendish College has led the way in championing inclusion. Today, our vibrant student community spans more than 85 countries, and we are the first and only Cambridge college to admit over 90% of UK undergraduates from state schools.
Our wider community is just as dynamic. We bring together bold researchers and innovators from diverse backgrounds to tackle urgent global challenges.
In short, Lucy Cavendish is much more than a college—it’s a movement. We are inclusive, innovative, and impactful.
