Fellows

We have funding to appoint Pioneer SMARTbiomed fellows – junior or senior postdoctoral researchers. We encourage applications from those with computational and methods skills whose PhD research was not biomedical, as well as those with an existing strong track record in biomedical research. SMARTbiomed will provide funding for appointments of three years.

Fellows will have agency to conduct research of their choice under the broad umbrella of SMARTbiomed research boundaries, but example projects will be listed on this site. New PhD graduates can benefit from relatively close supervision of senior researchers (Pioneer Mentors), whereas more senior postdoctoral researchers who are already established in their research journey can propose their own projects and select their own mentorship team. Each mentorship team will include senior researchers from both Denmark and Oxford and will include both methods experts and complex disease clinicians. Pioneer Fellows will be mentored towards student and postdoctoral supervision commensurate with their experience. 

We anticipate that two-thirds of the appointments will be primarily based in Denmark (across multiple institutions) and all appointees will spend some time in each of Oxford and Denmark, establishing a strong network of collaboration.
