Requirements for University of Nottingham Research and Anne McLaren fellowships Qualification

Candidates must have been awarded their PhD – or equivalent such as postgraduate MD/DM for clinical applicants – prior to the closing date for registering interest in the scheme by 6 October 2023.

This scheme is aimed at early career researchers, and candidates who do not normally have more than eight years’ post-doctoral experience. However, there are no eligibility rules based on years of post-doctoral experience as this doesn’t allow for variations of career paths across disciplines. Candidates will be assessed on their quality, potential, trajectory and track record, relative to their career stage.

We invite applications from all academic disciplines across the university. Candidates for the?Anne McLaren fellowships?must be pursuing a career in a STEM subject. Female researchers are typically under-represented in STEM subjects and female applicants are strongly encouraged. Candidates for the?Nottingham Research fellowships?can be from any academic discipline across the university.

Candidates should be able to demonstrate:

• an outstanding track record of research for their career stage and discipline, including high-quality publications, research funding and/or prizes and awards
• evidence of a growing reputation, both nationally and internationally
• an aptitude to lead and inspire others within the research team and institution more broadly
• potential to act as an ambassador in their research field and more widely

Part-time appointments will be considered on a pro-rata basis.

Candidates are not normally expected to have a permanent position, as they may be considered to have achieved the aims of the scheme already.

The University of Nottingham will act as sponsor for any candidate who does not have the right to work in the UK.
