Research Fellowship Applications

Together the Department of Earth Sciences at UCL and Earth and Planetary Sciences (part of the School of Natural Sciences) at Birkbeck form a vibrant and diverse research community situated in the heart of London. With both Department’s situated only a short walk apart we share complementary research expertise spanning the full breadth of Earth and Planetary Sciences. We host multiple collaborative research projects, share key lab facilities and jointly supervise several PhD students within the London NERC DTP.

Application Details

Independent Research Fellows form a key part of our community, making valuable contributions across all aspects of our research environment and workplace. We aim to help realise the goals and aspirations of all our Research Fellows by ensuring they are fully embedding within, and supported by, our closely-knit network of colleagues. In return, our Fellows bring energy and dynamism to our departments, pursuing novel and original research questions that bring new collaborative opportunities as they widen or deepen our current research portfolio.
