University of Oxford, Independent Research Fellows Event 2011
Event: 11- 12 May. Deadline for applications: 18 March.
The Department of Plant Sciences seeks applications from outstanding researchers who would like to be Independent Research Fellows within our department. UK research bodies fund several prestigious fellowships annually and the Department seeks to work with the best international postdoctoral scientists to secure such fellowships in basic and applied plant biology.
The Plant Sciences Department, University of Oxford, is an internationally leading centre of excellence in plant sciences, ranked equal third of 52 UK Biological Sciences research institutions in the national Research Assessment Exercise 2008. It is based in the vibrant central multidisciplinary science area of Oxford University and encompasses the full spectrum of contemporary plant science research and teaching. The Department is committed to attracting and mentoring the best postdoctoral scientists, providing them with a springboard for an independent academic career.
Those already holding or intending to apply for such fellowships may apply to attend a two-day departmental Independent Research Fellows Event on Wednesday 11th and Thursday 12th May 2011. If invited to this event, you will be asked to present a talk about your proposed area of research. You will have the opportunity to discuss in depth your research proposals, the future development of your group, and your future career plans with senior departmental academic staff. Following the event, selected candidates will be mentored in the writing of fellowship applications and/or offered the opportunity to move existing fellowships to the Department of Plant Sciences.
To apply to attend the event, please email a two-page summary of your research plan and your CV and arrange for two letters of recommendation to be emailed to [email protected] by noon on Friday 18th March.
