Deadline- 16 September 2013
Imperial College London has announced Imperial’s Junior Research Fellowship Scheme international students in the UK. The objective of this program is to help outstanding early career scientists establish their scientific independence and make the leap from post-doc to permanent lecturer.
Benefits-
- a competitive salary of up to £38,600 per year
- research and travel expenses of up to £45,000 over three years
- personal mentoring support from a senior Imperial academic
- focused careers support, training courses, and development opportunities from the College’s Postdoc Development Centre
- the chance to take full responsibility for setting and directing your own research agenda
Eligibility & Criteria-
- There are no restrictions on nationality; however applicants will be required to provide evidence of their eligibility to work in the UK before commencing any fellowship offered.
- Applicants must have a 1st or 2.1 undergraduate degree, if obtained in the UK. Applicants that have received undergraduate degrees from overseas institutions are required to determine if their scores/grades are of sufficient standing for postgraduate entry to Imperial
- Applicants should have a PhD and will normally have no more than four years postdoctoral research experience in an academic environment (calculated from the PhD viva to the application deadline) – exceptions to this can include discipline hopping, where there must still be less than four years postdoctoral research experience in the discipline of the proposed fellowship; career breaks and career changes, where time spent out of the academic research environment will not be counted in the four years.
- In exceptional cases, applicants applying to the Faculty of Engineering and Imperial College Business School are permitted to apply before the submission of the PhD but any offer of funding will be dependent on the PhD being awarded before the start of the fellowship.
- For applications to the Faculties of Natural Sciences and Medicine, a PhD must have been submitted before an application is made and the PhD must be awarded before the start of the fellowship.
