We are committed to attracting potential research leaders from around the world to develop their careers at Newcastle. We are offering a number of exciting new fellowship opportunities for outstanding post-doctoral scientists.
CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCE AND MOVEMENT
We seek applicants with expertise in clinical neuroscience to focus on the mechanisms that underpin gait and postural control in older adults and in neurodegenerative disease. This research will provide a basis for development of novel interventions and will be based in the Institute of Neuroscience.
Further information about the research group and fellowship can be found here.
Our five year fellowships are aimed at outstanding researchers with an emerging research reputation on a trajectory to become the next generation of research and academic leaders. You will typically have at least 5 years of active post-doctoral experience. Tailored support and mentorship, as well as competitive start up packages, are provided to enable you to meet your potential. Open ended appointments are available at the end of the fellowship term if you fulfil the expectations agreed at the start of the fellowship.
You must have a strong publication record, have the ambition to become a leading researcher and be highly motivated. It is expected that you will apply for external grant income and where eligible, for prestigious externally funded fellowship awards, as appropriate to your level of post-doctoral experience.
Career breaks will be taken into account and flexible working is possible. If you already have external funding that you can bring to Newcastle, we would welcome hearing from you.
