UCLQ are providing opportunities for candidates who anticipate applying for prestigious fellowships in Quantum Technologies and would benefit from a further two years’ funding before making such applications.

The scheme will support fellowships of two years’ duration for exceptional researchers who are completing, or have recently finished, a PhD. This is the first in a series of regular calls supported by the award of a Training and Skills Hub to UCLQ by EPSRC; and expect to make between 1 and 3 awards in this round. These are prestigious fellowships that are intended to provide support for outstanding candidates who are beginning to develop independent research careers.
