As well as a CV and cover letter, applicants are required to upload an outline (maximum 2 pages) of their research plans as part of the application process. Applicants are also asked to identify their two strongest publications (which may include work under review or accepted but not published, such as a PhD thesis chapter) and explain why – in their view – these publications are both original and significant (a form is provided to facilitate the completion of this step).
