Rosalind Franklin Fellowship

In the 4th round of Rosalind Franklin Fellowships two fellows have been appointed thus far at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences: 

• Dr. K. Caputi – at the Kapteyn Astronomical Institute
  as of 1 February 2012
• Dr. A. Casini – at the Groningen Research Institute of Pharmacy
  as of 1 October 2011

To promote the participation of women in Natural Sciences and Liberal Arts the University of Groningen offers a prestigious fellowship program named after Rosalind Franklin, whose X-ray studies of DNA were crucial to solving its structure. 

Four fellowships are available in the  Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. The fellowships will be awarded to outstanding women scientists from any of the disciplines mathematics, physics, astronomy, chemistry, biology, pharmacy, environmental studies, computer science, artificial intelligence, industrial engineering, and science education. Presently, 14 Rosalind Franklin fellows are working at the Faculty.    

 

We are looking for ambitious, creative women who aim for a successful independent career towards full professorship in a European top research university. Successful candidates will be expected to establish an independent, externally funded research program in collaboration with colleagues at our university and elsewhere. They will also be expected to participate in and contribute to the development of the teaching program of the Faculty. Rosalind Franklin Fellowships (RFF) are funded with a generous startup package, including funds for a PhD position.
