Apply for University of Cambridge Vacancies in United Kingdom. View the full list of academic vacancies, eligibility, and application deadlines for international researchers.
Cambridge is a collegiate research university, meaning vacancies are often split between the University Departments and the individual Colleges.
Postdoctoral Roles: Most “Research Associate” positions are funded by external grants (like the ERC or Wellcome Trust) and are based in specific departments (e.g., the Cavendish Laboratory or the Department of Pathology).
PhD/DPhil Opportunities: Often bundled into Doctoral Training Partnerships (DTPs). These are high-value listings for your site because they often include full international funding.
