The Cardiff Hub for Astrophysics Research and Technology (CHART) and the Gravity Exploration Institute (GEI) are welcoming applicants for the following fellowship schemes:
STFC Ernest Rutherford Fellowships (ERF)
Royal Society University Research Fellowships (URF)
Royal Society Dorothy Hodgkin Fellowships (DHF)
The URF, DHF and ERF fellowships are aimed at mid- to senior-level postdoctoral researchers ready to transition into a faculty-style, independent research position. The group at Cardiff has an excellent track record of successful applicants (5 in recent years) and converting such fellowships into permanent positions.
