Applications are invited for the above fellowships, which are targeted at exceptional female scientists and engineers who are typically under-represented in these subjects, and wish to establish a research career in the UK. The Fellowships are a recognized first step into an independent research career, and are funded by the University of Nottingham`s Research and Knowledge Transfer Board.
Candidates must have submitted a PhD (viva does not need to have taken place) and have had no more than four years full-time postdoctoral experience by 1 October 2011. Career breaks such as maternity leave, EU national service and Voluntary Service Overseas can be discounted but teaching experience and/or time spent in industry since the award of a PhD should be included in the total amount of postdoctoral experience. Part-time appointments would be considered on a pro-rata basis. Individuals who have been promised or already have a permanent position are considered to have achieved the aims of the scheme already and will not be eligible. The scheme is designed to offer support and flexibility.
Subjects covered: Academic disciplines in the Faculties of Science, Engineering and Medicine, plus the School of Geography, http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/departments/byfaculty.aspx
