The National Heart and Lung Institute (NHLI) at Imperial College invites applications for a flexible fellowship scheme from individuals.

The National Heart and Lung Institute (NHLI) at Imperial College wishes to invite applications for an attractive and flexible fellowship scheme from individuals, both clinical and non-clinical, who would be competitive for externally funded, independent research fellowships at any level.

NHLI is a major department of Imperial College’s Faculty of Medicine and is a world-leading research centre for investigating the causes and mechanisms underlying diseases of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, taking a bench to bedside approach from basic research all the way through to translational clinical medicine. We welcome interest from all candidates whose research interests encompass the cardiovascular and respiratory systems.

To be considered please submit a curriculum vitae, with full publication list and details of all previous applications for grants and fellowships, together with a short, non-specialist proposal (~500 words) outlining the research plan which you would pursue, with a view to developing an application for a personal research fellowship.  Applications should be sent to Dr Alun Owen. If you have already identified an academic within NHLI with whom you would wish to work please state this in your cover letter. Fellowships will be hosted at the appropriate campus within NHLI.

Applications should be submitted by 31 January 2015 (midnight GMT). Shortlisted candidates will be notified by 16 March 2015. Any questions regarding the scheme can be directed to Dr Alun Owen.
