Position Description:
The Durham University International Junior Research Fellowship Scheme (JRF) is designed to attract the most talented researchers in Europe and beyond, and to build international networks of scholars with a common passion for today’s most important research challenges.
The JRF scheme is aimed at researchers with substantial post-doctoral experience, but recent doctorands of exceptional ability and researchers who have followed non-traditional academic career paths (such as in public corporations, NGOs or industry) are also encouraged to apply.
