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 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 will be expected normally to up to 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 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.
Further information about the Junior Fellowship Scheme can be found at
www.imperial.ac.uk/jrf and further information about the Centre for Transport Studies can

The closing date for applications is 31 October 2011.
Potential applicants wishing to discuss this opportunity informally are welcome to contact
myself or other academics in CTS.
