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 Fellowships are
for 3 years and are intended to enable the successful applicant to focus full time on
developing an independent research identity but with encouragement and support from a
senior academic mentor. Applicants may be from the UK or abroad and will be normally
expected to have up to 4 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 to 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.
The Centre for Transport Studies is keen to encourage suitable applicants with interests in any
of our areas of research activity, which include
* Travel demand modelling
* Transport network operations
* Transport and the environment
* Intelligent transport systems
* Transport economics, policy and regulation
* Transport risk, safety and security
* Railway operations and management
* Engineering geomatics
* Air transport and air traffic management
* Freight transport and logistics
* Port and maritime operations
We are also happy to hear from potential applicants with complimentary disciplinary or
research interests that could contribute to our multi-disciplinary research activities.
