Fellows are essential to our mission to deliver exceptional research that transforms lives in the UK and across the world. They are the research leaders of tomorrow, working with inspirational pioneers from across disciplines to find solutions to complex global problems.
?We have two schemes, each offering the same package of support:
Anne McLaren fellowships?are aimed at outstanding female postdoctoral researchers in science, technology, engineering and medicine, who are at the early stage of their academic careers and wish to establish a research career in the UK
Nottingham Research fellowships?are aimed at outstanding postdoctoral researchers who are at the early stage of their academic careers from all academic disciplines represented at the university
Both schemes are open to external – including international – and internal candidates.
We Offer:
three years’ independent research funding, covering salary costs at c. £43,155 to £54,421
the link to a permanent academic post, subject to performance
additional funding for research expenses totalling £75,000
childcare costs of up to £15,000
access to mentoring, career development and networking with the wider fellowship community
Candidates must have been awarded their PhD – or equivalent such as postgraduate MD/DM for clinical applicants – prior to the closing date for registering interest in the scheme by 6 October 2023.
This scheme is aimed at early career researchers, and candidates who do not normally have more than eight years' post-doctoral experience. However, there are no eligibility rules based on years of post-doctoral experience as this doesn’t allow for variations of career paths across disciplines. Candidates will be assessed on their quality, potential, trajectory and track record, relative to their career stage.
We invite applications from all academic disciplines across the university. Candidates for the?Anne McLaren fellowships?must be pursuing a career in a STEM subject. Female researchers are typically under-represented in STEM subjects and female applicants are strongly encouraged. Candidates for the?Nottingham Research fellowships?can be from any academic discipline across the university.
Candidates should be able to demonstrate:
Part-time appointments will be considered on a pro-rata basis.
Candidates are not normally expected to have a permanent position, as they may be considered to have achieved the aims of the scheme already.
The University of Nottingham will act as sponsor for any candidate who does not have the right to work in the UK.
