We're looking for some VALIDATE Fellows!
As part of VALIDATE’s funding opportunities, 1-2 VALIDATE Fellowships will be awarded in 2018. These VALIDATE Fellowships are open to Early Career Researcher Post-doc (Associate) Members to fund two years' independent scientific research with the aim of producing initial/pilot data, and a funding and experience track record, that can be used by the Fellow to go on to obtain independent external funding and launch their career as a Principal Investigator and/or Group Leader.
The VALIDATE Fellowships cover 24 months’ salary for the Fellow (up to £100,000 per year max), plus up to £20,000 consumables per year. Relevant training costs, or travel costs to visit essential collaborators, may be included within the consumables budget. Fellows will be promoted to the Investigator membership level, and will become a member of the VALIDATE Network Management Board to gain Board experience.
The Fellow’s proposed research must be scientifically excellent, and fall within the VALIDATE remit. Submissions are via competitive application to the Network Management Board (NMB). The closing date is 4pm on 30th April 2018, with interviews in July/Aug, and the Fellowships starting in Sept/Oct 2018.
