The Plant Sciences Department, University of Oxford, is an internationally leading centre of excellence in plant sciences, ranked equal third of 52 UK Biological Sciences research institutions in RAE 2008 and based in the central multidisciplinary science area of Oxford. We seek applications from outstanding researchers who would like to be Independent Research Fellows within our department.

Those already holding or intending to apply for such fellowships may apply to attend a two-day departmental Independent Research Fellows Event on 4th and 5th May 2010. If invited to this event, you will be asked to present a talk about your proposed area of research and have the opportunity to discuss your proposals, the future development of your group and your future career plans in depth with senior departmental academic staff. Following the event, selected candidates will be mentored in the writing of fellowship applications and/or offered the opportunity to move existing fellowships to the Department of Plant Sciences.
