I have seen lots of adverts for JFRs at Oxford and Cambridge but I don't really undestand how the collegiate system works. Each fellowship is based within a college.

But will you also be associated with the university's academic department?
Will you have office space in the academic department?
Will teaching opportunities be based in the academic department or within the college?


It sounds like a good opportunity but I would feel somewhat isolated if I wasn't working alongside academics in my field. If someone familiar with the set up could explain it to me - it would be very much appreciated.

Thanks
