We offer a programme of career support that will help you to obtain a Fellowship and establish your independence as an academic researcher, including assistance with setting up your lab, as well as mentoring and training to help you develop your career. Research Fellows will also have access to the comprehensive package of ongoing support available from the School of Biological Sciences. https://www.bio.cam.ac.uk/research/research-fellowships.
