FURTHER PARTICULARS
The Role
Fitzwilliam College invites applications for a Research Assistant position.

Professor Michael Kenny, who is also a Professorial Fellow at Fitzwilliam College.

The Research Assistant will undertake a range of research tasks under the supervision of Professor

environment (most likely through election to a Bye-Fellow) while also being affiliated to the Bennett
School’s community of academics and policy researchers.

The post-holder will undertake a range of research tasks in support of the Departments’ programmes
of research on some of the most pressing and important challenges affecting the governance and
democratic health of the UK. They will, more specifically, work on projects on one or more of the
following themes: the political and policy dimensions of devolved governance across the UK; the
development of England’s model of devolution; inter-governmental relations; falling political trust;
and regional policy and place-based policymaking.

There may well be an additional opportunity to contribute to the teaching of the Human, Social and
Political Sciences tripos at Fitzwilliam.

The successful candidate should have a good first degree in one of the Social Sciences or another
cognate discipline, an excellent understanding of British politics and policy, and experience of
qualitative research methods. They should be flexible and adaptable and may be called upon to
support the delivery of events at Fitzwilliam or the Bennett School.

Fitzwilliam College
Be part of our community

Fitzwilliam is a dynamic, open-minded and
inclusive academic community with a strong identify

The College is a friendly and welcoming community. We combine a passion for academic excellence
and enquiry, with a commitment to widening access to higher education.

The College encompasses around 1,000 people including staff, Fellows, undergraduates and
postgraduates. In common with all of the 31 colleges of the University of Cambridge, Fitzwilliam is an
independent, self-governing institution.

The College enjoys a large seven-acre site within 10 minutes’ cycle ride of all the major faculties and
departments. At the heart of our beautiful grounds is a fine Regency house. Most of our award-winning
contemporary architecture dates from the 1960s onwards including a state-of-the-art auditorium and
the Olisa Library.

Fitzwilliam began in 1869 as a non-collegiate institution, with the specific purpose of providing a
Cambridge education to students who were unable to afford membership of a college.
Fitzwilliam moved to its current site in 1963, and in 1966 it was granted a Royal Charter and became
an independent college.

Our values
Fitzwilliam’s core values are:

Supporting excellence, creating a unique space for the sharing of ideas;
Community is our foundation, embracing and welcoming diversity in all aspects; and
Concern with our purpose, setting an example to the broader community.

The College is currently implementing our new College Plan with the goal to evolve, enrich and
enhance the College. We are keen to recruit someone who shares our values and who wants to be a
critical part of the next phase of Fitzwilliam’s journey.

Bennett School Of Public Policy
Launched in August 2025, the Bennett School of Public Policy aims to develop successful and
sustainable public policy solutions to some of the most pressing problems of our time. Its core ethos
is formed by a commitment to the value of sustainable growth, more equally shared. The School
conducts policy research and engagement on many of the greatest policy challenges of our age,
including the dangers and potential of emerging technologies for government, the implications of
new kinds of geographical inequality and the particular challenges facing ‘left behind’ communities,
and the profound implications of stalling productivity in the west.

As well as providing in-depth analysis and high-quality research, the School’s work is characterised by
the drive to provide solutions to these and other deep-seated problems. It is committed to developing
a powerful network of policymakers, influencers, and researchers at Cambridge and beyond, and
seeks, through its teaching provision, to create new generations of reflexive and skilled policy leaders
who understand the growing threats to democratic politics.
