Cavendish Arts Science Fellowship at Girton College

The annual Cavendish Arts Science Fellowship is delivered in partnership with Girton College thanks to the vision and generous support of Una Ryan.

The Fellowship supports the Cavendish Arts Science ethos of experimenting, decentring and re-imagining. It is designed for artists to develop thought-provoking ideas through engagement with physicists and those in other fields, and to experiment with new approaches to their practice that are transformative and push boundaries.

We actively encourage applications from artists with no previous experience of working with scientists or in a scientific environment.

Cavendish Arts Science is committed to non-discrimination and equal opportunities for all, regardless of sex, race, colour, religion and belief, ethnic or national origin, ancestry, age, marital status, sexual orientation, pregnancy and maternity, gender reassignment, gender identity, gender expression or disability. Please refer to the University of Cambridge's Equal Opportunities Policy for further information.

• Previous CAS Fellow experimental filmmaker Logan Dandridge brought specific interests in memory, non-linear time and Black experience to his encounters with physicists as the inaugural CAS Fellow.

• Artist and composer Ain Bailey brought an interest in multi-channel sound, architectural acoustics and the constellation of sounds that form individual and community identities, to the Fellowship.
