Junior Research Fellowships
Imperial College London has created a significant number of new Junior Research
Fellowships,
to enable outstanding young researchers to establish academic careers. The Fello
wships are
for 3 years and are intended to to enable the successful applicant to focus full
time on
developing an independent research identity but with encouragement and support f
rom a
senior academic mentor. Applicants will be expected normally to have between two
and four
years post-doctoral experience at the time of application.
Proposals will be judged primarily on the basis of their scientific merit, track
record and
potential for development of an independent research programme. Applicants will
need to
identify an Imperial College academic staff member to act as their sponsor and t
o provide
relevant facilities and mentorship for the tenure of the Fellowship.
This is a tremendous opportunity for a talented young researcher to establish an
academic
career at Imperial.

nterests in
any of our areas of research activity, which include
* Travel demand modelling
