英国剑桥大学植物学博士后招聘

Applications are invited for Research Career Development Fellowships to be held in the Sainsbury Laboratory at the University of Cambridge. With the intention of nurturing the next generation of researchers in the field of plant science, the Fellowships provide an opportunity for talented junior investigators to develop their own research program and become creative leaders in the field.

The positions are open to applicants of any nationality. Applicants should typically have between 3 and 6 years of postdoctoral experience in a field related to the overall scientific focus of the Laboratory in plant development and its computational modelling. Applicants should be able to provide strong evidence of their potential to develop independent research programs.

Fellowships are for five years. Successful applicants will receive an initial three years of funding, with extension for a further two years contingent on a successful scientific review, and will hold an appointment with the University of Cambridge. Funds include full salary, benefits and £40,000 p.a. of unrestricted research support. As they develop into independent researchers, Fellows will be encouraged to apply for external funding. Fellows can apply for Research Group Leader positions within the Laboratory at any time.

The Sainsbury Laboratory is a new research institute, providing an outstanding scientific environment. It has excellent resources and core facilities, with state-of-the-art equipment and instrumentation including growth rooms, glasshouses, microscopy and computing facilities. It provides a collaborative atmosphere where young scientists can take risks in a supportive environment. The University of Cambridge offers a high concentration of talented plant and developmental biologists and computational researchers, and East Anglia has an unprecedented concentration of research centres dedicated to plant biology.

Applications can be submitted electronically at any time as pdf files and include a full CV, a research proposal for three years, and the names of at least three referees. There is no fixed closing date- applications will be peer reviewed at least three times annually.

Further details about the posts and the Sainsbury Laboratory are available on the Sainsbury Laboratory web site:http://www.slcu.cam.ac.uk/index.html

Completed applications should be sent by e-mail toenquiry@slcu.cam.ac.uk.
