Team Leader Opportunities: the Personal Fellowship Route

Join the leading eye research centre in the UK!

The Institute of Ophthalmology has an excellent record for personal fellowships. Examples of current and past personal fellowships include:

• Wellcome Trust: University Award; Advanced Fellowship for Medicine and Dental Graduates; Basic Science Research Training Scheme; Basic Training; Vision Research Fellowship
• MRC: Clinical Training Fellowship; Research Fellowships
• Action Medical Research Training Fellowship
• The Health Foundation Clinician Scientist Fellowship
• Jules Thorn Fellowship
• IRIS Clinical Research Fellowship
• International Glaucoma Association Fellowship
• TFC Frost Fellowship
• Pharmacia Fellowship
• Royal Society Howard Florey Fellowship
• Marie Curie Individual Fellowships
• Research into Ageing Fellowship

In the majority of cases, staff holding personal fellowships proceed to apply for academic posts. Indeed, around 10-15% of our current academic staff held a personal fellowship at the Institute before being considered for an academic post.

We would encourage interested parties to review the funding schemes available for personal fellowships. A selection of schemes is provided below. If you are interested in pursuing one of these routes and you fulfil the criteria set by the funding body, please discuss your proposal with Professor John Greenwood, Chair of the Recruitment Search Committee, on 020 7608 6858 or via email j.greenwood@ucl.ac.uk.
