Postdoctoral fellowships
I'm glad to support strong candidates applying for postdoctoral fellowships to be held in the group, across our full research programme.
Beyond positions funded on specific grants — which, when open, appear under currently open — I'm always happy to support outstanding researchers applying for an independent or externally-funded fellowship to be hosted in the group. A fellowship is a significant step towards research independence, and the right scheme depends on your career stage, nationality, and research direction.
If you're considering any of the schemes below, get in touch early. A competitive fellowship application takes months to develop, and the strongest proposals are built collaboratively, well ahead of the deadline.
