Full Job Description
Bridging Fellowships provide an intensive career development opportunity for three recently completed PhD graduates to publish findings from their doctoral research, expand their skills and networks, and prepare their next major research projects. Bridging Fellowships are intended to constitute a bridge between doctoral research and future careers.
All Bridging Fellows will be appointed to the Institute for Medical Humanities and a suitable academic Department. Day-to-day, Bridging Fellows will be based in one of the Platform's six Methods Labs, and from there engage proactively with research opportunities and activity across the Platform.
Bridging Fellows are expected to contribute to a flourishing research culture by participating in regular Lab meetings, workshops and other events. This may encompass collaborating in methodological innovation with interdisciplinary and cross-sector partners, and the design and delivery of pilot and proof-of-concept studies. They will be supported to produce outputs from existing research, as well as to collaborate with other Labs and Researchers across the Platform. Regular participation (in-person and virtual) in Lab and Platform activities, as agreed with the Line Manager, is essential.
These roles offer an exciting opportunity to make an important contribution to the development of research and methodological innovation within the Platform, while allowing for excellent opportunities to develop careers in an exciting and progressive institution.
All staff employed in the DRP-IMH have dedicated time for professional development and can access a wealth of existing and bespoke training opportunities in consultation with Platform Leads.
