The Lindemann Trust offers up to four 2-year fellowships, each worth $50,000 a year, for post-doctoral scientists to carry out research in the USA. The Lindemann Trust Fellowships are designed as an early post-doctoral opportunity, and are awarded to graduates of exceptional promise in both the pure and applied physical sciences, who have shown capacity for producing original research.
The Lindemann Trust supports research in the fields of: Astronomy, Biophysics, Chemistry, Engineering, Geology, Geophysics, Mathematics and Physics.
The Lindemann Trust believes that diversity is essential for delivering excellence in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), and that there are varied research career paths. We are committed to increasing diversity in STEM and aim to promote and encourage this through our application process. We are particularly keen to attract and support more applications from underrepresented groups, and candidates who fall into this category are therefore strongly encouraged to apply.
To be eligible to apply, candidates must meet the following criteria:
- Hold British, Irish or Commonwealth citizenship AND be normally resident in the UK
- Either be in the final stages of their doctoral studies at a UK university, or have completed their doctorate at a UK university and have no more than three years of actual research experience since completion
- Career breaks and part-time working will be taken into consideration, e.g. time away due to personal reasons such as maternity, paternity, shared parental and adoptive leave or other caring responsibilities; ill-health or working in a non-research environment/role such as industry.
The deadline for applications is Monday 7th February 2022. Please visit
