In addition to our teaching and emeritus staff, the CMS is home to research staff working on funded projects and to research associates, who are scholars affiliated with the Centre.
Applications are open to researchers who have some affiliation to the Centre. Please email us at
cms-office@york.ac.uk with the following documents.
● A one-page letter of application, giving details of your research interests and indicating how research associate status will be beneficial for you.
● A short CV of no more than two pages, with full name, address, and information on where you are currently working.
Please note that we receive many requests for Research Associate status each year, and can only accept a few due to costs and administrative time.
In most cases, associate status lasts for a maximum of 2 years.
Applications are considered on a first come, first serve basis, taking into consideration the following:
● how they fit with the Centre’s research interests
● the benefit to the Centre in terms of research engagement and potential for collaboration
Research Associates may have the opportunity to present and give a talk in one of the Centre seminars or events.
