In the UK, it's possible to apply for up to 7 years of full time funding to do fundamental research without any academic affiliation, via the future leader fellowships scheme. Most with recent experience of UK academia will see the advantages of doing research hosted by a small non-profit rather than a massive, deeply hierarchical institution.

I'm lucky to have one of these fellowships with the lovely non-profit, non-academic org @thentrythis , and will be talking about it as part of this 'webinar' https://iuk.ktn-uk.org/events/future-leaders-fellowships-round-9-business-competition-support-webinar/

TBH it'd be really hard to navigate the application process without academic experience (which I do have), but it's possible, and I have the feeling that success rates for business-hosted applications are higher than academic ones.

Also @amberfirefly wrote about the experience from an organisational perspective here: https://thentrythis.org/notes/2022/08/25/research-funding-for-small-organisations-our-future-leaders-fellowship-experiences/

I think we have been the only non-profit to successfully apply for one of these and really need like-minded orgs to copy us!

Hello folks!

I'm hiring two research associates to work with me on developing new instrumentation for glaciology, and doing new scientific work (particularly on glacier hydrology) that benefits from the new instruments. Funded by #ukriflf.

Please apply by 22nd March:

1) Research Associate in Electronic Engineering for Glaciology. I'm looking for an engineer with electronics and embedded software skills and an enthusiasm for working in glacial environments. https://krb-sjobs.brassring.com/TGnewUI/Search/home/HomeWithPreLoad?partnerid=30011&siteid=5460&PageType=JobDetails&jobid=2041257

Excited to share our latest preprint!
We show that you can predict how lymphoma cells will respond to drugs that target apoptosis, using simulations.

Lead by Ielyaas Cloete + collaborators at Leicester + Frankfurt
