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 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 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

 * 	Engineering geomatics 	
 * 	Air transport and air traffic management
