Have you heard this well meaning postdoc career advice?
"You need a fellowship to move on in your career"
"A fellowship is the next logical step"
"Jo took a fellowship there and then moved into a lectureship"
Are you now asking:
Is the research fellowship the magic bullet to an academic career?
Is it right for me?
How do I even start?
or even
What is a research fellowship?
Then you are in the right place!
Take a deep breath and let me guide you through the A to Z of writing a fellowship. I'll bring my wealth of experience, friendly style and passion for helping postdocs with their careers. You'll bring an open mind, some time to spend on putting your career first and your questions. Together we will explore through videos and exercises:
- Is a fellowship right for you?
- Is the timing right?
- What will they ask for in the application?
- What are the 3Ps and why do they matter?
- How does the process work?
And if you are struggling with the first question in particular then you can preview the first section without charge (see curriculum below). I've been there. It's confusing. I want to help!
