Hosting independent Research Fellows
We support a number of outstanding candidates through the fellowship application process each year at early, mid or advanced career level.
We have an open call for high calibre scientists seeking appropriate host laboratories to support their fellowship applications in research areas that align with or complement our current portfolio.
Areas of strategic importance currently include:
- Biophysics, with particular interest in protein and cellular analysis
- Molecular and cellular sciences including, gene regulation, RNA biology, chromatin & cancer, drug discovery, immune modulation, omics technologies and bioinformatics
- Medicinal chemistry, chemical biology and structural biology
- Drug delivery, 'systems-based' pharmaceutics and tissue engineering
- Health economics and economic evaluation, particularly decision-analytic modelling in medicines safety and patient adherence, evaluating complex interventions, pharmacoepidemiology and use of large databases, and the roll of pharmacy in public health
- Innovation in Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Science education
- Pharmacognosy and pharmacology of natural products

UKRI Future Leaders Fellowships
Expressions are now open for the UKRI Future Leader Fellowships: Round 10.
Application
Please note that this call is centrally managed as UKRI have capped the number of applications per institution. The University of Notitngham is able to submit a total of 8 applications and therefore a sift process will be put in place. This will be a highly competitive process and will require strong commitment from your host School/Department. We will select those going forward in this round through an expression of interest (EOI) document and a challenge panel session, which we anticipate will be useful to all candidates in refining their project for this and other opportunities. More details will be provided towards the end of November, after the internal information session.
Information session - 27 November, 11am-12pm, Microsoft Teams)
We have arranged an information session on the UKRI FLF Round 10 scheme. It will include background on the scheme, reflections from previous successful applicants, a timeline of next steps for those applying for this round and time for questions.
Please register for the session. Resources from the session will be made available afterwards on our SharePoint pages.
