The Nottingham Research Fellowships are aimed at outstanding postdoctoral researchers who are at the early stage of their academic careers from all academic disciplines represented at the university.
Anne McLaren Fellowships are aimed at outstanding female postdoctoral researchers in science, technology, engineering and medicine, who are at the early stage of their academic careers and wish to establish a research career in the UK. They both offer
three years’ independent research funding, covering salary costs at c. £40,000-49,000; the
link to a permanent academic post, subject to performance; additional funding for research expenses totalling £75,000,and
childcare costs of up to £15,000. These are the most-prestigious fellowships that our University offers, and we would welcome applications for colleagues wanting to join us in Hearing Sciences.
We welcome applications from those wishing to establish a research career in the UK, and those wishing to work part- time (minimum 0.5FTE) to meet personal responsibilities. Our University has always been a supportive,
inclusive, caring and positive community. We warmly welcome those of different cultures, ethnicities and beliefs – indeed this very diversity is vital to our success, it is fundamental to our values and enriches life on campus. We welcome applications from
UK, Europe and from across the globe. For more information on the support we offer our international colleagues, see our Moving to Nottingham pages. For successful international applicants, we provide financial support for your visa and the immigration health
surcharge, plus an interest-free loan to help cover the cost of immigration-related expenses for any dependants accompanying you to the UK.
The School of Medicine welcomes applications from all medical disciplines, particularly those that align to the research themes in the NIHR Nottingham Biomedical Research Centre. This includes
Hearing Sciences – further details below.
Note that anyone interested needs register an interest via their chosen school/faculty online form (in our case, Medicine) or they will not be considered for the scheme. The cut-off date for registering interest
via the online form is 8 October 2021.

Hearing Sciences is one of the major centres of hearing research in the UK. Our teams work collaboratively to deliver research that spans the full range of approaches from basic auditory neuroscience to applied
clinical research, delivering impact from new fundamental insights to improved patient benefit. Our overall goal is to drive transformative changes to the understanding, management and treatment of hearing and hearing-related disorders through collaborative
and multidisciplinary research. Our research skills and expertise broadly cover the translational pipeline from discovery science to clinical evaluation, and includes system neuroscience, neuroimaging, informatics, psychophysics, communication, psychology,
audiology, medical devices and complex interventions for hearing loss and tinnitus, clinical trials, diagnostics, and outcome measurements.
We benefit from high-quality purpose-designed testing facilities at our three bases (Hearing Sciences building on the University Park Campus in Nottingham, Ropewalk House in Nottingham City Centre, and the Glasgow
Royal Infirmary in Scotland), including more than 10 sound booths. Our experimental equipment includes neurophysiology labs, loudspeaker arrays, EEG and fNIRs facilities, and motion-tracking equipment. We also maintain large-scale databases of members of the
public interested in participating in hearing research.
We are one of the five core themes within the NIHR Nottingham Biomedical Research Centre, a ~£23m investment in translational health research building on the strong collaborative research partnership between
the University of Nottingham and Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust. We benefit from the support of dedicated hearing research staff, facilities and resources as part of the NIHR Nottingham Clinical Research Facility, and work closely with the NIHR
Clinical Research Network East Midlands to help identify and recruit patients.
We receive current grant funding from UKRI (MRC, EPSRC), NIHR (BRC infrastructure, RfPB, HTA), EU (MSCA), charity and industry, with a total value of over £10m in the last 5 years. Six of our colleagues hold
prestigious fellowships, including one Nottingham Research Fellow.
