Joint Fellowships (CNRS and ICR)

Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) 

If you can secure a CNRS mentor (as well as an Imperial mentor) then you can apply as a CNRS candidate for the Eric and Wendy Schmidt AI in Science Postdoctoral Fellowship, supported by Schmidt Sciences. The application process is the same except CNRS applicants must indicate via a tick box that they are joint with CNRS and include a letter of support from their CNRS mentor. The mentor letter of support MUST state that: 

  • They are happy to host the applicant for short-term stays during their fellowship. 
  • The applicant will be able to use CNRS lab facilities during their stay.
  • The added value for the project in having such a double affiliation (Imperial and CNRS). 

All joint CNRS fellows will be contracted to Imperial wholly for the two years but may spend some of their time at their CNRS lab. CNRS may make available funding for additional years spent in their CNRS lab beyond the initial 2 years. All CNRS queries should be directed to Louis Avigdor louis.avigdor@cnrs-dir.fr and/or Carl Ialamov carl.ialamov@cnrs.fr 

Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) 

If you can secure an ICR mentor (as well as an Imperial mentor) then you can apply as an ICR candidate for both the Eric and Wendy Schmidt AI in Science Postdoctoral Fellowship, supported by Schmidt Sciences, and the Chapman-Schmidt Fellowship. The application process is exactly the same except that ICR applicants must indicate via a tick box that they are joint with ICR and include a letter of support from their ICR mentor. The internal deadline to apply to ICR for the letter of support is 26 August 2024. All joint ICR fellows will be contracted to Imperial wholly for the two years but are expected to spend some of their time at ICR. All ICR queries should be directed to Becky Cook (rebecca.cook@icr.ac.uk).
