How to apply

Applying online

To apply for a job online, just click the ‘Apply online’ button in the advert. You will need an email address to register for our online system. A document providing guidance for applicants is available which will help you through the process of filling in the online application form.

The job advert (or the further information document) will tell you who to contact if you have any questions about the job.

Alternative Format

If you cannot apply online—for example, if you have a disability—then you should contact the person listed om the advert, who will be able to provide you with an application in another suitable alternative format.

If you have technical difficulties with the online system, then contact technical.recruitmentsupport@admin.cam.ac.uk for help.

Jobs which don't have an apply online button

In some limited circumstances, there may not be the option to apply online for a vacancy. The job advert (or the further information document) will provide further information on how and where to apply. It will also tell you who to contact if you have any questions.

For information about how your personal data is used as an applicant, please see the section on Applicant Data on our HR web pages.

Recruitment at the University is managed directly by Departments and Institutions, and therefore, we are unable to respond to speculative applications for employment.
