Rising Star Agrifood Fellowships

Reading, United Kingdom University of Reading Full time

**AgriFood ‘Rising Star’ Fellowships**

The University of Reading is a world-leading institution in disciplines key for Agriculture, Food and connected disciplines such as Climate and Environmental research. The AgriFood ‘Rising Star’ Fellowship scheme is funded by the National Institute for Research Into Dairying (NIRD) Trust, which enables our investment into agriculture and food research. At a time when we are facing national and global challenges related to: access to healthy and sustainable diets; diet-related disease; the consequences of climate change for food production; the need to enhance ecosystem biodiversity that impacts on our food system, these Fellowships have never been more important.

We will be looking to appoint at least two Fellows in 2023/24 with a minimum of a further two Fellowship appointments in 2024/25 and 2025/26. We are looking for individuals who can push the boundaries of their discipline, who are willing to build and lead interdisciplinary research teams, and who can demonstrate the potential to deliver ground-breaking research discoveries. We will provide similar support packages to anyone seeking to base prestigious fellowships, such as those funded by the Royal Society, European Union or UKRI, at the University of Reading.

Each Fellow will be appointed on the Lecturer scale as a Research Intensive contract, initially for three years with the intention to extend for a further two years if probationary targets have been met. The expectation is then that the Fellow will transition to a permanent academic post in their home School. A generous support package will be provided to aid the development of each Fellow (£20k p.a. research expenses, peer support, mentoring, leadership training and a PhD studentship fund equivalent to one UK student fee, stipend and research training and support grant). We anticipate that applicants will already have some post-doctoral experience, will be able to evidence high quality publications and their potential to obtain external funding for impactful research.

Priority areas:

- Addressing the interactions between a changing climate and food systems
- Innovative food processing of novel ingredients emerging from protein and oil crops

Potential applicants are encouraged to connect with the Research Dean as soon as possible to discuss their proposed programme of work. We have funds available to support potential high quality applicants to visit the University of Reading ahead of the deadline to meet potential collaborators, view our excellent facilities and get a sense of the welcoming research environment they could be joining.

Please see the job description and personal specification for further details.

Closing date - 18 March 2024
