Fellows - Kellogg College (ox.ac.uk)

Common Room members are proposed to Academic Committee by Official Fellows and agreed by Governing Body. Members can be non-academics, or academics whose standing is not regarded as of a Fellowship level. The membership is £60 per annum.

The length of membership is one year and renewable annually with payment.

If invited by the President or Senior Tutor and approved by the Academic Committee, Common Room Members may act as student advisors, in which case the £60 fee will be waived. The College Academic Office will assign around 6 students to each member.

Common Room Members will receive discounted lunches and Guest Night Dinners as well as being invited to College-wide seminars and events

Kellogg does not offer University cards to Common Room Members.

St Antony’s offers the opportunity to apply for Associate Membership to anyone who does not already have an affiliation with any college in Oxford and is on the payroll of any of those departments from which the college recruits graduate students, essentially all departments in the Social Sciences Division (plus the Oxford Martin School) and the Faculty of History and Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies in the Humanities Division.

Associate members cannot apply directly but must be nominated by their Head of Department or Chair of Faculty and must be willing to be a college advisor for up to 4 (occasionally 5) graduate students. College advisors are supported by the Head of the Academic Office, Dean and Senior Tutor and the role involves offering support for students on the non-academic aspects of their time in Oxford. College advisors are matched with students outside their academic departments to avoid any conflict of interest.

Associate members are entitled to free lunches throughout the year and the use of the Senior Common Room. They are encouraged to attend College academic seminars and workshops. The memberships are coterminous with the applicant’s university contracts up to a maximum of three years.

Junior Research Fellowship in the Social Sciences (Non-Stipendiary)

The Fellowship is designed to support the post holder’s career development, primarily through the support of their research. Participation in the educational activities of the college through paid tutorial teaching, access and outreach work, and involvement in admissions is also welcomed, and the College will take this into consideration in assessing applications. The post holder will also be asked to act as college adviser to a small number of graduate students; this role is a significantly lesser responsibility than that of a supervisor, but provides a graduate with a mentor in a related research area with whom to discuss their progress and career aspirations. The post-holder will hold the Fellowship under the terms of the College’s Statutes and By-laws. The post holder will be a full member of Wadham’s vibrant and inclusive intellectual community and as part of the Senior Common Room will benefit from everything that the close collegiate setting has to offer, including full access to social and sports facilities, to regular inter-disciplinary research seminars and to College events and dinners.
