NOTICE OF ELECTION

Joint Consultative Committee for Non-
academic Staff in Clinical Departments

Notice is given that there will be an election, on Monday, 19 July 1999, of four
representatives of non-academic staff employed in university clinical
departments on Whitley Council scales to serve as directly-elected employee
representatives on the Joint Consultative Committee for Non-academic Staff in
Clinical Departments, a subcommittee of the Clinical Staff Subcommittee of the
Staff Committee. The subcommittee will meet on an ad hoc basis to
discuss matters relating to the terms and conditions of employment of non-
academic staff employed on Whitley Council scales in clinical departments.
Those elected will hold office for two years, from 1 August 1999 until 31 July
2001 and will be eligible for re-election.

Those eligible for nomination and those eligible to propose and second
nominations and to vote in the elections will be all staff, full-time and part-
time, who are employed by the University, in clinical departments, in its
Whitley Council non-academic scales. Among the four directly-elected employee
representatives, there shall be at least one representative from each of the
following three Whitley Council staff groups: administrative and clerical,
professional and technical (PTB), and nurses. Once elected the four employee
representatives will nominate one of their number to act as employee-side joint
secretary.

Nominations in writing, indicating the names and departments of the proposer
and the seconder, together with a statement from the nominee confirming that
he/she is willing to stand for election and the staff group he/she is employed
in, should be sent to Mr J. Kirwan, the University side secretary of the Joint
Consultative Committee for Non-academic staff in Clinical Departments,
University Offices, Wellington Square, so as to arrive no later than Friday, 18
June. It would also be helpful if each candidate would, at the time of
nomination, submit a paragraph of 100 words about themselves and what they
hope to contribute as representatives. This information will be distributed with
the voting papers. Voting papers will be distributed through departments on
Monday, 5 July, to be returned by Monday, 19 July. Members of non-academic
staff employed in clinical departments on Whitley Council scales who wish to
find out more about the role of the Directly-Elected representatives are
welcome to contact Mr John Kirwan, in Personnel Services, on extension

RULES COMMITTEE

Amendments to Regulations

At its meeting in Hilary Term 1999 the Rules Committee reviewed its
current Regulations as required under Title XIII of the Statutes. The
Committee agreed to introduce a number of amendments effective from 1
October 1999 and authorised its Chairman, the Senior Proctor, to
finalise the drafting of the amendments on its behalf.

The amendments are intended to take into account: the enactment on 14
April 1999 of the revised Title XIII of Statutes
(Gazette, Supplement (1) to No. 4473, 13 May 1998, pp.
1193--8), which now incorporates harassment as a specific offence and
abolishes the distinction between `University' and `other' offences;
new arrangements for the registration of sports clubs, in line with
recommendations arising from the Review of Sport; perceived needs to
relax the restrictions on the times when students from graduate
colleges may row on the river during term and to strengthen the
enforcement of regulations governing safety on the river. The
amendments to Clause 1 set out below are contingent on approval being
given to relevant recommendations arising from the Review of Sport;
if such approval is not forthcoming before the end of Trinity Full
Term 1999, the existing Regulations will remain in force until
further notice.

Delete Decree XI, Section VIII (Statutes, 1997, pp.
783--8) and substitute the following with effect from 1 October 1999.
(Amendments to current Regulations are indicated in bold face.)

BRITISH ACADEMY RESEARCH READERSHIPS, BRITISH
ACADEMY/LEVERHULME TRUST SENIOR RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS, AND BRITISH
ACADEMY THANK-OFFERING TO BRITAIN FELLOWSHIP IN THE HUMANITIES AND
SOCIAL SCIENCES

The British Academy has announced that, under its scheme for Research
Readerships, it intends to confer on `serving members of academic staff' the
title of British Academy Research Reader. There will be up to thirteen awards
tenable for two years from 1 October 2000. The Readerships will be awarded
on a competitive basis and are not renewable.

In addition, the academy has announced that, under the scheme for Senior
Research Fellowships it intends to confer, again on members of academic staff,
the title of British Academy/Leverhulme Trust Senior Research Fellow. Under
this scheme there will be up to eight awards as well as one Thank-Offering
to Britain Fellowship, tenable from 1 October 2000, of one year's duration.

Applicants will need to submit a programme of research for the Research
Readerships and Senior Research Fellowships in any field of study within the
humanities or social sciences. Appropriate subjects for the award of the
Thank-Offering to Britain Fellowship will be related to Human Studies widely
interpreted and their bearing upon the well-being of the inhabitants of the
United Kingdom.

All award-holders are relieved of all teaching and administrative duties, but
may engage in limited supervision of research students.

While they hold the relevant Academy title, award-holders of Research
Readerships and Senior Research Fellowships and the Thank-Offering to
Britain Fellowship will continue to receive their normal stipend, and their
employing institutions will be expected to provide them with all the facilities
necessary to enable them to carry out their research programme. Under the
Research Readership scheme, the academy will meet the cost of substitute
teaching in a form to be agreed up to a maximum sum equivalent to the sixth
point of the current national Lecturer A scale (£17,570) in year one, and
the seventh point (£18,275) in year two; under the Senior Research
Fellowship and Thank-Offering to Britain schemes the academy will meet the
agreed costs of substitute teaching up to the sixth point on the university
lecturer scale. Detailed arrangements in any particular case will have to be
considered by the University and the college concerned, and in consultation
with the academy, once it is known that the application is successful.

Candidates must be of an age to complete the award and return to teaching
afterwards to disseminate the results of their research. Candidates are
normally therefore expected to be aged under 55 on 1 October 2000, unless
they can demonstrate that exceptional circumstances have delayed the
advancement of their academic career. Applications from candidates under the
age of 35 are discouraged. Applicants are not discouraged from applying for
the Research Readerships and the Senior Research Fellowships simultaneously,
but in such cases two sets of separate and fully self-contained applications
should be submitted, with the research project in each case tailored to the
duration of the award.

Applications under all schemes should be submitted through the University
or through the college (for CUF lecturers). All applicants must, however,
obtain the support of the Faculty Board and the General Board (and, for those
holding joint appointments, the college concerned). The University will advise
the academy separately of its support for an application by a CUF lecturer.

Further details and application forms in respect of the schemes are available
from the appropriate faculty board secretaries, to whom applications should
be returned as soon as possible, or direct from the British Academy (Web site
http://www.britac.ac.uk/guide/randf/html #Research
Readerships, Senior Research Fellowships; telephone: 0171-969 5265; e-mail:
kene@britac.ac.uk). The academy's closing date for the receipt of applications
is 31 July 1999.

LEVERHULME TRUST MAJOR RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS
2000–1

The Leverhulme Trust has announced a round of up to twenty three-year
Major Research Fellowships in the humanities and social sciences to commence
on 1 october 2000 or earlier.

Applications are invited from individuals holding an established academic post
in the humanities and social sciences at a UK university who have held a post
in the UK for at least the past five years. Applicants must be of an age to
return to full-time academic posts for at least two years after holding a
fellowship and priority will be given to applicants over the age of thirty-five.

Award-holders will continue to receive their normal stipend for the duration
of the award, and their employing institution will be expected to provide them
with all the facilities necessary to enable them to carry out their research
programme. The Leverhulme Trust will meet the salary costs of a full-time
replacement lecturer at a grade not exceeding spinal point 8 on the RA1A scale
(currently £19,197). Up to £5,000 per annum will also be available to
help meet the fellow's research expenses.

Award-holders will be expected to spend at least 80 per cent of their time on
the specified project.

Applications should be submitted through the University (or through the
college for CUF lecturers). All applicants must, however, obtain the support
of the faculty board and the General Board (and the college for those holding
joint appointments). The University will advise the Leverhulme Trust
separately of its support for an application by a CUF lecturer.

Further details of the scheme are available from faculty board secretaries, or
direct from the Leverhulme Trust (Web site: http://www.leverhulme.org.uk).
Application packs must be obtained direct from the Leverhulme Trust by
sending a self-addressed C5 envelope stamped for 60 grammes to: the
Leverhulme Trust, 1 Pemberton Row, London EC4A 3BG. No packs will be mailed
out after Friday, 23 July. Packs cannot be faxed or e-mailed. The closing date
for receipt of applications by the Leverhulme Trust is Friday, 30 July, and
applications should be forwarded to the relevant faculty board secretary as
soon as possible.
