Panton Fellowships – UK-based, support open data in science
January 27, 2012This seems to kind of straddle the line between a job and a fellowship, and the funding agency definitely has a certain political goal. You need to have the right to work in the UK to apply.
Panton Fellowships will provide a year-long fellowship of 8,000 pounds plus a possible supplemental travel budget.
“Fellows may wish to:
-Promote the concept of open data in all areas of science.
-Explore practical solutions for making data open
-Facilitate discussions surrounding the role and value of openness.
-Catalyse the open community, and reach out beyond its traditional core
Eligibility
Eligible applicants will:
-Ideally be graduate students or early career stage scientists. We do however welcome applications from those with non-traditional backgrounds, so if you think you may be eligible, get in touch.
-Hold a valid EU passport/have the right to work in the UK.
-Reasonably expect to be employed and/or studying in a relevant scientific field until March 2013
-Reasonably expect to be based in the UK until March 2013
-Have the consent of employers/funders to be a Panton Fellow whilst continuing to fulfil existing commitments
Applicants should be enthusiastic, self-motivated and proactive, with excellent communication skills.”
Application deadline: February 24, 2012
