Senior Research Fellowships in basic biomedical science

The Wellcome Trust have opened applications for their Senior Research Fellowships in basic biomedical science. This scheme provides support for outstanding postdoctoral scientists based in academic institutions in the UK and Republic of Ireland (RoI). Candidates are expected to have an excellent track record in their scientific field and be able to demonstrate their ability to carry out independent research.

Applicants should have between five and normally ten years' research experience (from the date of your viva to the date of your preliminary application) at postdoctoral level, or veterinary equivalent, and have a substantial record of publications in their chosen area of research in leading international journals.

To apply for this fellowship, candidates should submit a preliminary application form electronically (as a Word document) by the deadline of 6 June 2011. Full application forms will usually be sent to shortlisted candidates within one month of the preliminary deadline. Further details can be found on the website below.
