> The Wellcome Trust invites applications for its university awards. These
> enable universities to attract research staff by providing support for
> up to five years, after which the award holder takes up a guaranteed
> permanent post in the university. A monograph and other substantial
> publications are expected to result from an award. Teaching and other
> non-research commitments are therefore expected to be minimal during the
> period of full support. Applicants must be nominated by their
> prospective head of department. Support is normally available only at
> lecturer level, although in exceptional cases awards to senior-lecturer
> level may be possible. Up to five years' support is available, providing
> full salary for three years, 50 per cent in the fourth year and 25 per
> cent in the fifth year. Travel expenses to attend meetings are provided
> for five years, but research expenses are provided for the first three
> years of the award only.
> 
> Closing date: 18 July 2014
> Preliminary applications due by 18 July; invited full applications due
> by 26 September 2014.
