Funding
The
BBSRC Postdoctoral
Training and Career Development scheme supports post-doctoral
scientists in a period of early or changed career training.
The aim of the scheme is to provide new scientists with
training in both research and transferable skills, in
preparation for the broader requirements of a scientific
career in general or in alternative careers either in
or outside of the BBSRC.
Visits
The Post-doctoral
Opportunities scheme provides bursaries (covering
travel and accommodation costs – up to £250
for UK and
£500 outside UK) allowing exceptional post-doctoral
scientists from the UK or abroad to make a short visit
to the Centre in order to meet scientific project leaders,
discuss research possibilities and explore fellowship applications.
This scheme is particularly targeted towards scientists
interested in Fellowships through the EMBO, HFSP, EU
Marie Curie, JSPS and similar
schemes.
Research
Fellowships
Independent
Fellows
NEW
PROGRAMME. The Department
of Metabolic Biology and other departments at JIC are actively
encouraging Independent Research Fellows to consider undertaking
their Fellowships at JIC, where they can benefit from our
outstanding facilities and excellent research base. This
year we invited researchers holding or
intending to apply for Independent Fellowships including BBSRC
Sir David Phillips, Dorothy
Hodgkin, EMBO, HFSP and EU
Marie Curie.) to take part in a Conference on 4/5 June 2007 to
see our facilities and meet our staff. Researchers invited
to take part in this Conference gave a
presentation of their work and attended an
interview to discuss their science and career plans.
Incoming
Fellowships to the UK from Asia (link
to Royal Society)
PhD
positions
Outstanding
undergraduates should consider joining the 4 year rotation
program at the JIC. See

JIF/NRP
Nuffield Scholarship Scheme provides local sixth
formers with a four-week vacation placement as an opportunity
to gain direct experience of research on the Norwich
Research Park. There are opportunities to engage in
various types of projects using a broad range of molecular,
biochemical and microscopical techniques. If you are
interested in joining the lab send an e-mail to anne.osbourn@bbsrc.ac.uk -
Please briefly describe your background, major research
