[3dem] Postdoc fellowship for scientists of (mixed) Black heritage at LMB

[Sjors Scheres]

Dear colleagues,

The MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology (LMB) is proud to launch a new 
three-year fully funded postdoctoral fellowship for scientists from 
Black heritage backgrounds.

The LMB has a proud history of training generations of postdoctoral 
scientists who have gone on to great things across the biomedical 
sciences and beyond. We want to enable scientists of Black heritage who 
are brimming with potential and passion for molecular biology and the 
biomedical sciences to learn and grow their experience in our unique 
collaborative research environment based in our state-of-the-art 
building on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus. The LMB will provide 
support for Fellows to move their career forward including a generous 
training budget and mentoring from LMB scientists.

While the paucity of Black scientists is evident across the UK’s higher 
education sector, the LMB is committed to playing its part to improve 
the representation of Black heritage scientists and to provide role 
models for future generations of scientists. This is why we are offering 
targeted funding for two Fellows every year.

This scheme is open to people who self-identify as being from a Black 
heritage background, including a mixed Black heritage background. 
Applicants must be either: UK domiciled researchers who wish to conduct 
their research in the UK, or non-UK domiciled researchers who have 
studied in the UK for a degree and/or PhD.
