Fixed term for 20 months

Applications are invited for a Daphne Jackson Fellowship hosted by the Elizabeth Blackwell Institute for Health Research at the University of Bristol. The Fellowship is intended for individuals wanting to return to research in a STEM subject relating to health-related research. Health-related research is understood as spanning laboratory to applied or translational science. The Elizabeth Blackwell Institute will half-sponsor the Fellowship and the remaining funding will be secured by the Daphne Jackson Trust from an additional sponsor.

This Fellowship is for 20 months on a part-time (60% FTE) basis. Fellows must be available to start in or before January 2020. You can find out more about the Elizabeth Blackwell Institute here: http://www.bristol.ac.uk/blackwell

Working within a School and Faculty at the University of Bristol, applicants will need to approach and agree a plan of work with a potential academic sponsor as part of the application process. The Elizabeth Blackwell Institute is particularly interested in supporting applicants working in interdisciplinary research, but applicants working in single disciplines will be considered equally.

Applicants should be able to demonstrate a clear research and training plan along with a plan to secure future funding or a position beyond the Fellowship. As an Elizabeth Blackwell Institute Daphne Jackson Fellow you would be committing to the funding policies and position statements of the Wellcome Trust as the Wellcome Trust supports the Elizabeth Blackwell Institute.
