Job description:

The Role

The Faculty of Medical Sciences is committed to developing the research leaders of the future and we are looking to appoint two post-doctoral Faculty Fellows working in any area that aligns closely with one of our Faculty Research Themes.

Our Faculty Fellowships are designed for early career researchers who have an excellent track record for their career stage and have the ambition to develop an original research idea and secure external fellowship funding.

This is a two-year fellowship (with the possibility of an extension to three years, based on performance), that places you in one of our stimulating Research Institutes and offers you:
Dedicated mentoring from experienced researchers

• Training opportunities to support your early success in obtaining an externally funded fellowship
• Financial support of up to £10K to produce pilot data for fellowship applications
• Peer support from a cross-disciplinary cohort of talented early career researchers
• Modern specialist research facilities.

We believe that a diverse and inclusive culture drives new ideas, innovation and learning. Untraditional career pathways that have involved career breaks, part time research working and time in industry are welcomed. Our appointments are fully flexible which means that we can accommodate part time working as needed.
