Fellowships:

The Kirkhouse Trust funds a number of post-doctoral scientists to work in laboratories in Europe and the US, as part of its collaborative project scheme (for more information see the 'Projects' page). The Trust is currently supporting 4 African scientists each on a 6 month training fellowship in US laboratories. Fellowships are for a period of 6-24 months in a European or US laboratory. The Trust would encourage the visiting fellow to return by providing support for continuation of the project in the home country.

Pay and conditions will be in line with national norms and may be influenced by the policies of the host organisation, which will normally act as the employer.
