BBSRC Research Fellowships 2007
Applications are invited for the following BBSRC fellowships to start during the latter part of 2008:
David Phillips Fellowships: These prestigious fellowships aim to support outstanding early-career scientists who wish to establish themselves as independent researchers. Up to 10 fellowships are available for scientists who at 1 October 2007 will have a minimum of 2 years and no more than 6 years of active postdoctoral research experience. Awards are for a period of 5 years and carry a personal salary and a significant research support grant to support the costs of the research that is to be undertaken.
Institute Career Path Fellowships: Up to 4 fellowships are available to support early-career researchers wishing to be based at the Institute for Animal Health (IAH) or Roslin Neuropathogenesis Unit (Roslin NPU) in an area of animal biology relevant to BBSRC's key priorities. Integrative biology and/or systems approaches are particularly encouraged.
Research Development Fellowships: These fellowships aim to support scientists wishing to undertake new directions in their research. Applicants seeking to develop interdisciplinary dimensions by integrating new techniques or methodologies into their research are particularly encouraged. Up to 10 Fellowships are available for scientists who are full-time members of academic staff of a UK university and who at 1 October 2007 will have worked for a minimum of 5 years in their current or similar post.
Professorial Fellowships: These fellowships aim to support world-class scientists with a proven track record of developing new and innovative directions of research and who have the potential to use a fellowship to open up dramatic and novel lines of work. Up to 2 Fellowships are available for scientists who are already recognised at an international level as outstanding researchers with exceptional research and interpretative achievements. Awards are for a period of 5 years and provide a significant research support grant to cover the costs of the research programme.
Bioenergy Research: With the exception of the Institute Career Path Fellowships, applications may be submitted in any area of science within the BBSRC remit. However, applications are particularly encouraged in the area of Bioenergy research. Further information on this area can be found at:
