If selected as a suitable candidate following pre-assessment, you will be invited to
deliver a research talk to present your recent work and fellowship plans. This is planned to occur in early June . You will get the chance to meet our staff and students and view our facilities. In addition, you will get the opportunity to meet current GEE fellows, including those who have progressed to permanent positions within the department, and learn about the supportive and stimulating environment we offer. Where a visit is not possible, the discussion will be conducted online. Following a positive outcome of the visit, we will identify a sponsor(s) to support your fellowship application.

Candidates should confirm their eligibility for specific fellowship schemes and will be required to provide evidence of eligibility to work in the UK before commencing any fellowship offered.

Your CV A brief (2 page maximum) document outlining your research proposal that will form your first fellowship application. A list of fellowship schemes you are planning to apply for (the main ones are listed on our website), checking your eligibility for the schemes.

What we offer

We provide support to ensure that fellows can successfully establish their own research group, have opportunities to gain teaching skills and play a full role in the running of the department. Our commitment starts with academic and administrative support at the application and interview stages and continues throughout the tenure of the fellowship, with regular career development and mentoring programmes. We expect fellows to develop into strong candidates for Principal Investigator positions in the department or elsewhere. In line with this ethos, a large proportion of our past departmental fellows have progressed to permanent positions in GEE.
