Brief Description
The Rothamsted International Fellowship aims to promote the exchange of vital agricultural research skills between Rothamsted Research and scientist from Low- to Middle- income countries.
The Fellowship will support overseas scientists to train at either of Rothamsted Research’s main sites for 6-12 months on a research project they co-develop with a senior scientist at Rothamsted who will supervise the project.
Benefits
The Fellowship will provide the successful candidate with:
Supervision and training at Rothamsted Research
Funds for Research costs related to their project
Access to world-class research facilities and scientific support
Funds for accommodation and subsistence
Funds for travel between the home country and the UK
Eligibility
The Candidate must meet the following criteria:
The Candidate must be of doctoral status, with at least two years’ post-doctoral experience. Candidates without Higher Degrees must have equivalent research experience to be considered eligible for the scheme
Applications will not be considered where the main objective of the visit is research leading to a higher degree for the Candidate
The Candidate must be a citizen or be based exclusively in a low- to middle- income country. Please note that this will be defined as the countries listed on the DAC list of ODA recipients
Candidates who have extensive and/or continuous employment in a high-income country are not eligible for RI Fellowships
It is essential that the Candidate returns to employment in their home country where the experience gained through the RI Fellowship can be applied
Applications are submitted by the UK supervisor but must be of relevance to research in the candidate’s home country. It is therefore essential that the candidate makes contact with the UK supervisor and helps to co-develop the research proposal. Proposals with minimal contributions from the candidate, or supervisor, are unlikely to succeed
In addition to the support of the UK supervisor, applications must also have the approval from the Head of Department where the fellowship will be hosted.
Deadline
