The University of Bristol will hold a Plant and Agricultural Sciences Fellowship event on 26th- 27th February 2018. The School of Biological Sciences is seeking highly motivated individuals to join us as independent research fellows. Prospective fellows are invited to visit the department, meet with academic and support staff and will be given the opportunity to present proposed research areas. Funding is available to support travel and accommodation for this event and some members of our academic staff will host an evening meal to enable further discussions.

The Bristol Centre for Agricultural Innovation (BCAI) is offering three £50,000 research grants to boost project funding for individuals that are awarded independent research fellowships at Bristol. Research areas must fall within the remit of BCAI to be eligible for this extra funding (http://www.bristol.ac.uk/biology/bcai/).

We benefit from excellent facilities and host a vibrant interdisciplinary group of plant scientists. Further information about plant and agricultural research at Bristol can be found at http://www.bristol.ac.uk/biology/research/plant/Information on current fellows and the support we offer: http://www.bristol.ac.uk/biology/research/opportunities/fellowships.html

To apply, email a CV and covering letter (indicating which fellowships you wish to apply for) and a two-page summary of your research plan to helen.harper@bristol.ac.uk by 7th February 2018. We will select and invite candidates with potential to the fellowship event. Please contact Helen Harper for any informal enquiries. We look forward to hearing from you.
