The Trapnell Fellowship

jamesdolan

Investing in Natural Sciences and Mathematics Fellowships, the Leigh Trapnell Fund – established in 1996 with a donation from the late Leigh Trapnell (KC 1927) and his wife Hazel – continues to help the College attract brilliant young academics so they can be nurtured and establish their career in research and teaching.

In the academic year 2023–24, James Dolan (KC 2019) becomes the new Trapnell Fellow and College Teaching Officer in Natural Sciences (Physical). Until recently an Assistant Teaching Professor in the Department of Physics, at King’s James supervises first year Physics, is Director of Studies to Part IA Natural Sciences (Physical) students, coordinates admissions for his subject, and is a Tutor as well as Financial Tutor.

College funding is unique in the Cambridge ecosystem as it can support researchers and research which might otherwise struggle to find a ‘home’ in the University.

All alumni and friends receive a copy of the annual Philanthropy Report, detailing the impact donations have on the College and its community.
