Research Fellowships
We are keen to support strong candidates in applying for Research Fellowships. If your profile and interests match our activities, we would be very interested to hear from you.
Timescales: To allow time for both preparation and proper costing of the
proposal, the process must start at least 20 working days before the
deadline. All Fellowship proposals will be subject to a critical review
by a member of academic staff as part of the submission process.
To apply: The best initial approach is to contact the Head of the CMMP Research Group, Prof Jochen Blumberger (j.blumberger AT ucl.ac.uk)
Deadlines: Each Fellowship scheme has a different deadline and the dates often vary from year to year. They will be added here when they have been announced by the relevant funding body.
Pay Scales: You will need to agree your pay scale with your prospective department. The lowest grade a Fellow can be costed at is Grade 7, Point 29 and it is normal that there is an additional spine point for every year of postdoctoral experience you have. So for a Fellow with one year of postdoctoral experience at the beginning of the Fellowship it will be grade 7, point 30. UCL pay scales can be found at - Pay Scales
