The Academy of Medical Sciences is committed to attracting and retaining emerging talent from across the globe to the UK, and recognises the importance of capacity building at the early-leadership career stage.
This scheme seeks to progress that ambition by offering flexible support to researchers imminently taking up their first full Professorship, or for those that have recently commenced such a position. Awards will be made in partnership with the employing Higher Education Institute (HEI).
You will have recently commenced, accepted, or have been guaranteed, your first full Professorship post at a Higher Education Institution (HEI) in the UK, and will have completed a move (or be planning to move) to the UK.
If you are a researcher who has recently moved (or is in the process of moving) to the UK, then you will not typically have resided in the UK for more than twelve months in the three years immediately before the call deadline.
You will not have previously held a full professorship, either overseas or in the UK.
It is a strict requirement of the scheme that the HEI will need to be providing you with an open-ended contract and evidence that you will be offered a supportive environment.
You should be a researcher in the field of biomedical sciences or healthcare.
