Applications are not closed for 2023 Next Generation Fellowship
The Centre for Trophoblast Research has an established highly-successful program to fund and mentor Next Generation Research 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 Next Generation Fellowships are highly flexible to suit individual needs, and 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 Next Generation Fellowships are a springboard to a long and successful career in the field of placental and reproductive biology. Our Next Generation Fellows have moved on to prestigious positions such as group leaders in outstanding research centres (University of Cambridge, Francis Crick Institute in London, Blizzard Institute and Queen Mary University, Medical University of Vienna).
