The Department of Earth Sciences is encouraging outstanding mid-career researchers to apply for a Royal Society Faraday Discovery Fellowship to be held in our department. The scheme is aimed at outstanding mid-career STEM researchers (typically 10-20 years from PhD) and will provide grants of up to £8M over a ten-year period to support the development of world-leading research groups. You can read more about the Fellowship on the Royal Society website (https://royalsociety.org/grants/faraday-discovery-fellowships/).
Interested eligible candidates are invited to submit an Expression of Interest by email to Gavin Bird (gavin.bird@earth.ox.ac.uk) by 24th August 2024.
Expressions of Interest should comprise a single PDF document, including a CV (at most two pages), a list of the candidate's 10 most significant publications (one page) and a research statement (one page). The research statement should outline the proposed research vision.
We expect to be able to appoint successful applicants to a (permanent) senior academic appointment.
