UCL Excellence Fellowships

We recruit across the entire remit of GEE research, but are particularly encouraging applicants in the following broad areas:

• Biodiversity and ecology
• Evolution, adaptation and origins of eukaryotic complexity
• Computational and statistical genetics
• Evolution and mechanisms of ageing and age-related diseases
• Ecological genetics of disease

Candidates should get in touch with fellowship contacts Dr Seirian Sumner (s.sumner@ucl.ac.uk) or Dr Max Reuter (m.reuter@ucl.ac.uk). Initial expressions of interest should include a CV, a short paragraph about the proposed research and the name of a GEE PI with related research interests who could act as sponsor for a fellowship. Please contact us before 8 January 2020, the final deadline for the Excellence Fellowship scheme is 25 January.

The Department has a track record of supporting fellowship applicants from initial application to securing subsequent permanent employment within the department. You can find more information about the department here. 

A note for non-UK applicants: Fellowships are an integral part of the UK academic system. Externally funded grants covering salary and research expenses are open to non-UK applicants from a range of funding agencies. These awards allow early- and mid-career scientists to concentrate on their work unhindered by teaching and administrative loads.
