The advert for the next round of Heilbronn Research Fellowships in Bristol and London are now live, and can be found online:
Bristol fellowships London fellowships
The closing date for Bristol applications is midnight on Thursday 24 November 2017, and the London deadline is Wednesday 22 November 2017.
We are keen to recruit the most able mathematicians, and committed to increasing the diversity of our applicant pool.
In particular, we have been looking at ways to try and address our current and historic gender imbalance. As a result, we are introducing a referral initiative this year targeted specifically at increasing the number of female Heilbronn fellows. We will be offering £500 towards personal research expenses to any member of a UK university who refers a female applicant that is then successfully appointed to a Heilbronn fellowship in this recruitment round.
Referrals must be submitted to the Heilbronn Manager at @email no later than the closing dates (as mentioned above). Colleagues are welcome to refer more than one candidate. If a referral is received via more than one source, i.e. the same candidate is referred by two or more colleagues, funding will be allocated on a ‘first come, first served’ basis. If you have any questions about this scheme, or wish to draw our attention to a candidate who would contribute to diversity at Heilbronn in other ways, please contact the Heilbronn Manager directly.
