Leeds University Research Fellowships in Nanoscale Materials (fwd)

LEEDS UNIVERSITY RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS PROGRAMME

Your chance to rapidly progress your career as part of a world-leading
research team at the University of Leeds

The University places high value on its status as a Research University and,
in order to enhance research quality and assist in the development of a
research culture, has established a University Research Fellowships
Programme aimed at attracting dynamic and promising researchers on the
threshold of an outstanding academic career. As such the Programme is
particularly appropriate for those who do not already hold a permanent
academic appointment in the University. This is the fifth year of
recruitment to the Programme, with 34 appointments having been made in
earlier years. In 2002 six faculties are participating in the scheme. Some
have selected specific fields of study for this yearšs programme; others
invite applications from across the field of research interests.

If you have established a track record of high quality research and are
interested in a career in academia you are invited to apply for a University
of Leeds Research Fellowship (available from October 2002) from among the
following areas (n.b. these are ones specific to Nanotechnology and
Materials):

URF/02/2 Engineering: Nanoscale Materials

URF/02/10 Dentistry: Biomedical Applications of Nanotechnology

University Research Fellowships:

… are normally offered on Research Grade II (Ł24,435 - Ł32,537 p.a.), but
may be more senior for particularly outstanding applicants;

… will concentrate on research for three to five years, normally leading to
a permanent academic appointment;

… are exempt from teaching and administrative duties in the early stages.

… may be supported by development grants of up to Ł30,000

Appointees will have an excellent record of research achievement and will be
expected to make a significant contribution to the research profile of their
department and the University. Full support for career development will be
provided.

Closing date for applications is noon on 1st March 2002. For further
