16 September 2015The Royal Society has announced the appointment of 8 new Dorothy Hodgkin Fellows (DHFs) for 2015. The scientists will start taking up their new posts at institutions across the UK at the start of October.
The Dorothy Hodgkin Fellowship scheme supports outstanding scientists and engineers at an early stage of their career. It is designed to help successful candidates progress to permanent academic positions across the UK. It is aimed specifically at researchers who require a flexible working pattern and is particularly popular with female scientists.
Additional awards are available for outstanding early career researchers who are working within the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council’s (EPSRC) remit.
The new DHFs are working on projects which include understanding antimalarial drug resistance and studying exoplanets.
