Elizabeth Gardner Fellowship

“We at the UKCA are keen to support applicants for this four-year fellowship in any area of astrobiology, but particularly those whose academic background is a natural fit for teaching and research in the School of Physics and Astronomy. This fellowship has been created to recruit those whose profile is currently under-represented in our School’s academic community — for example, women!” – Sean McMahon, Reader at the University of Edinburgh

The School of Physics and Astronomy is pleased to invite applications for the 2025 Elizabeth Gardner Fellowship. This four-year Fellowship specifically supports early-career, postdoctoral researchers from backgrounds that are under-represented in the School’s academic community (e.g. gender, minority ethnicity, disability, disadvantaged circumstances, etc.).

The Fellowship aims to provide a supportive and collegial environment for early-career researchers to develop their research and submit proposals to secure external research funding (e.g. a 5-year Research Fellowship, such as a Royal Society University Research Fellowship; an Ernest Rutherford Fellowship; or a European Research Council fellowship) and, where appropriate, other external research resources such as telescope/facility time.

Application details can be found here. Deadline is the 19th of February 2025.
