Applications are invited for an Ernest Oppenheimer Early Career Research Fellowship to be held at Cambridge University in Colloid Science as broadly interpreted within the fields of biology, surface chemistry, materials science, and nanotechnology.

Applications are encouraged from women and men who have completed, or expect to have completed, a Ph.D. Degree by 1 October 2011, as well as from those who have spent a cumulative total of not more than three years in post-doctoral research.
Tenure is for three years in an appropriate Department, commencing normally from 1 October 2011. The stipend range for 2009–10 is £27,319 to £35,646 (pay award pending). A contribution may be made towards travel and removal expenses, and up to £10,000 a year will be made available for research expenses.
