Postdoctoral Fellowship, Wellcome Trust
The fellowship is tenable for two to four years, depending on seniority before career break, and may be taken up on a full or part-time basis.
It provides support that includes:
the fellow's salary, as determined by the host institution with an additional Trust enhancement
research expenses (materials and consumables, animals, travel to attend scientific meetings, fieldwork and data collection).
In exceptional circumstances, research assistance may be requested at the postgraduate or technical level.
Modest requests for equipment, where fully justified in the context of the proposed research, will be considered, but we expect that a laboratory or unit appropriate to the research proposed be selected, and that the majority of the necessary equipment and facilities required for the proposed research be available to the candidate.
Funding may be provided for re-training, e.g. tuition fees at the UK student rate for an appropriate MSc course.
Time permitted for non-research activity during the Career Re-entry Fellowship is normally restricted to a maximum of eight hours each week.
