Excellence Fellowship, University College of London, UK

University College London - Excellence Fellowship programme UCL's  School of Life and Medical Sciences is launching an Excellence  Fellowship programme. The aim is to attract the best early career researchers and allow them to develop their research with the help of  a generous award. Fellowships include three years of salary cost, funds for a PhD studentship and 150K to support research costs.

Applicants can come from across the life and medical sciences, but the proposed research should have some biomedical dimension. The Department of Genetics, Evolution and Environment is seeking to actively promote candidates for the Excellence Fellowship scheme. The research of applicants could fall within or complement the research themes covered by the Department. We in particular wish to strengthen our activities in evolution and population biology. Candidates with strong research interests in computation biology, systems biology or infection and immunity are particularly encouraged to apply.

Expressions of interest should be directed to Dr Max Reuter (m.reuter@ucl.ac.uk) before 2 June (the scheme deadline is 16 June).

Please include a cover letter, CV, the names of two referees, and an outline of your research proposal (2 pages maximum). The Department will select a shortlist of candidates to provide support in developing your project, writing the application and preparing for interview.

The closing date for the full application is 16 June 2010.
