2015 Colt Foundation Fellowships in Occupational/Environmental Health UK
Colt Foundation is awarding research fellowships for carrying out research within the area of occupational and environmental health at a UK university. The Fellowship is normally for three years and the research is expected to lead to a PhD degree. The stipend rate for the first year is £14,000 (£16,000 inside London), rising with UK inflation for the following two years. Payments will include UK/EU fees and overseas candidates applying would be expected to meet the difference in UK/EU and International rates. The application deadline is 13th October 2014.

- Prospective students should apply to Mrs Jackie Douglas via post or email at: jackie.douglas-at-uk.coltgroup.com, including an outline of the proposed research which demonstrates the occupational content of their work, a CV, a detailed letter of support from the proposed supervisor and the contact details of two referees. The application must be submitted by the student personally and not by their supervisor on their behalf, although it is expected that the supervisor will have an input to ensure that the project can lead to a successful PhD.
Eligibility: The Foundation awards Fellowships each year to persons who are qualified in science or medicine who are carrying out research within the area of occupational and environmental health at a UK university. Fellowships are awarded in competition and are a personal award to the student and the outline must therefore contain sufficient detail to enable the Selection Panel to determine that the work has been well-designed, that the work is worthwhile and can be completed in the three-year period, and to enable the Panel to decide which students should be interviewed.
- UK/EU and international students can apply for these research fellowships.
The application deadline is 13th October 2014.
