Fellowship Opportunities
The Department of Life Science’s programme for externally-funded Independent Research Fellowships is designed to establish research leaders within a world-class research environment and with access to cutting-edge facilities. Independent Fellows will also benefit from:
- Review and feedback of their application,
- Mentorship during their fellowship and progress to an academic position,
- Access to excellent postgraduate research students to support their work,
- Joining a strong and active community of independent fellows across the college.
We accept informal applications all year round; see below for guidance on the application process.
For further information please get in touch with the Fellowships and Honours Committee at dols-fhc@imperial.ac.uk
Fellowships
If you see an opportunity to apply for a Fellowship based in the Department of Life Sciences, you should first make contact and discuss your application with a potential sponsor who is currently at Imperial. A list of Research Themes, Research Groups and contacts is available from this link (Research Themes).
We ask that you submit your CV and a short summary of your proposed project, including a career development plan, to your sponsor.
The sponsor will forward your application, with a letter of support, to the Departmental Fellowships and Honours Committee for review and consideration with regards to the current departmental activities and priorities.
A decision will then be made whether your application will be supported by the Department.
Feedback will be available in all cases.
