The Lindemann Trust Fellowships are awarded to graduates of exceptional promise in both the pure and applied physical sciences who have shown capacity for producing original research. These Fellowships enable postdoctoral scientists to pursue research in the USA without financial difficulty, and without being obliged to take up paid employment.
The Lindemann Trust supports research in the fields of:
• Astronomy
• Biophysics
• Chemistry
• Engineering
• Geology
• Geophysics
• Mathematics
• Physics
To be eligible to apply, candidates must meet the following criteria:
• Hold British, Irish or Commonwealth citizenship AND be normally resident in the UK
• Either be in the final stages of your doctoral studies at a UK university, or have completed a doctorate at a UK university within the last three academic years
Successful applicants will be invited to interview with the Lindemann Committee and members of the ESU’s international team. Fellowships may then be taken up any time between September and April of the following academic year.
