Dan Norman Early Career Research Fellowship in (Bio)medical Sciences Specializing in Addiction Research
The Dan Norman Early Career Research Fellowship in (Bio)medical Sciences specializing in addiction research is available for a fixed term of three years from 1 October 2024. This non-stipendiary position comes with a package of College benefits, and a requirement to do a small amount of paid teaching to Balliol undergraduates.
The Dan Norman Fund was established by an Old Member of Balliol and his family in memory of his son. The Fund supports Early Career Fellowships and Doctoral Scholarships with the purpose of advancing research into addiction across the biomedical, clinical, health and life sciences.
The College proposes to elect an outstanding early career scientist who is undertaking funded research into addiction in one or more of the following disciplines: experimental psychology; General Practice; neuroscience; pharmacology; physiology, anatomy and genetics; and psychiatry.
Applicants should be able to demonstrate that they will have funding in place, as well as a position in the University of Oxford or other local research institution, for the duration of the Fellowship. Candidates should not normally have completed a PhD or equivalent earlier than 1 January 2018 (with the exception of career breaks, e.g. for parental leave), and the College especially encourages applications from those who have not yet had a comparable college-linked position. No applicant who has been appointed to a permanent academic post in an institution of higher education at any time in their career will be eligible.
The Fellowship is a non-governing body position, that is, the post-holder will not be a Trustee of the College. No offer of appointment is confirmed until the recommendation of the appointment committee has been approved by the Governing Body of the College.
The main duty of the Fellow will be to undertake research. A limited amount of paid undergraduate teaching, and teaching-related work, is required. Participation in the academic, cultural and social life of the College is warmly encouraged.
