Postdoc opportunities
I am keen to discuss fellowship applications for supporting postdoctoral candidates. Some avenues:
- UCL Excellence Fellowship/SLMS Fellowships Funding
- BBSRC Discovery Fellowship
- UCL EPSRC Postdoctoral Pathway Fellowships
- University Research Fellowship (URF)
- Dorothy Hodgkin Fellowship
- NERC Independent Research Fellowships (IRFs)
Additional avenues for international candidates:
- Royal Society Newton International Fellowship
- Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship
- HFSP Postdoctoral Fellowship
For transition to independence:
- ERC Starting Grants
- Wellcome Early Career Awards
- Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851 Research Fellowship
- UKRI Future Leaders Fellowships (FLF)
- MRC Career Development Award
Note that UCL operates an internal shortlisting for several competitive schemes (Royal Society URF, Leverhulme ECF, RAEng Research Fellowships, Newton International). These internal deadlines fall well before the funder deadlines.
