[Editor's note: the university does not have a physics education group but the education department has centers for adult education and math education.]
Following the recruitment of six outstanding early career researchers in 2010, applications are invited for the second year of the Nottingham Advance Research Fellowship competition. The Nottingham Advance Research Fellowships are funded by the University's Research and Knowledge Transfer Board and are targeted at exceptional postdoctoral researchers in any academic discipline represented at the University.
In 2011, six Fellows will be recruited to start this two-year Fellowship programme. One Fellow will be recruited to each of the University's five Faculties, with a sixth excellent individual also being recruited. Candidates must have submitted a PhD (viva does not need to have taken place) and have had no more than six years full-time postdoctoral experience by 1 October 2011.
Each fellowship offers:
Two years independent funding, starting October 2011, to conduct research while based at the University of Nottingham. Participation in a mentoring scheme, and career development programme. Subjects covered: All academic disciplines represented at the University of Nottingham http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/departments/byfaculty.aspx.
Length of Tenure: Two years guaranteed. Academic years 2011/12 and 2012/2013
