They will work on a research project that will form part of their PhD, guided by an academic staff member who will act as supervisor for the duration of the fellowship. They will benefit from taught courses as well as the opportunity to participate in and contribute to the scientific life of the Group. It is expected that three fellowships will be awarded each year for the next four years. The duration of a fellowship will be from three months to one year according to the requirements of the project.
