The Loke Centre has an established highly-successful programme to fund and mentor Next Generation Fellowships. Next Generation Fellowships are aimed at promoting the careers of high-calibre individuals pursuing innovative research falling within the remit of the Centre. The Fellowships are highly flexible to suit individual needs, and to enable the postholder to develop as an independent researcher within a supportive and stimulating environment. Holders are expected, and will be supported, to apply for Research Fellowship/Career Development Awards from research councils or other funders, or a faculty position during their tenure.
The Loke CTR has an opening for a Next Generation Fellow who will complement and synergise with our existing research programmes. We welcome applications from across a diverse range of research relevant to our Grand Challenges: https://www.trophoblast.cam.ac.uk/about-us/objectives.
