Imperial College London is delighted to invite applications for the Imperial College Research Fellowship scheme, to give outstanding early-career researchers an opportunity to develop independent research programmes.

Each one offers up to four years funding (stipend in the range of £36,070 to £41,110 per annum (2016/17 fi gures), plus a generous contribution to research expenses).
