The Career Development Fellowship programme at the Earlham Institute provides support and mentorship over a 3-year period to help researchers apply for longer-term funding and establish their independent research careers.
Dr Lauren Messer will join the Institute in April from the University of Stirling, with Dr William Shaw (left) joining later this year from Boston University in Massachusetts.
Prof Neil Hall, Director of the Earlham Institute, said: “Lauren and Will bring a wealth of expertise in microbial communities and synthetic biology, complementing the exciting areas of data-driven bioscience at the Earlham Institute.
“The development programme is a great way for scientists to take the next steps in their careers in a supportive and collaborative research environment.
“We’ve already seen success with Dr Sarah Guiziou joining as a Career Development Fellow in 2023 and then being awarded a prestigious UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship to establish her own research group with us.”
