The Early Career Research Fellowship programme is a new initiative designed to attract into the Centre exceptional candidates in the early stages of their careers.

The fellowship programme is designed as a platform to apply for subsequent intermediate fellowships and similar career progressing schemes.

Environmental Epidemiology
Molecular Epidemiology
Biostatistics, Computational Biology, Data Science, and Bioinformatics Small Area Health Statistics, Spatial Epidemiology, and GIS Exposure Sciences Physical, Environmental and Mathematical Sciences Analytical Sciences (genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, adductomics) Mechanistic Toxicology There are no teaching and administrative obligations, and the appointee will be provided with reasonable funds to cover research costs.

As part of the application process, applicants must submit a proposal for their own independent research project. Proposals will be judged on the basis of scientific merit, track record of the applicant and potential for development of an independent research programme in the broad area of environment and health.

Applicants should hold a PhD or equivalent in one of the key or related areas listed above, and should be in the early stages of their research career.
