These highly competitive fellowships target early career researchers holding PhD degrees and a demonstrated track record of world-class accomplishment. The fellowships are designed to provide freedom to focus on research: there are no obligatory teaching or administrative duties.Typically, the successful candidate will have already obtained significant experience in either academia or industry, although exceptional recent PhDs will also be considered. Please note that the JRF scheme is a competition across the whole of Imperial College London.

At the first step of the competition the applicant must provide a complete CV and a 200-word (maximum) description of a proposed research project. If you are interested in applying for a JRF and your research falls broadly into the areas of distributed systems, software engineering, operating systems, and/or networking, please send your first-step application (CV and project description) in PDF format to: Please include "Imperial JRF" in the subject line of your message, and only send a CV and project description; all other application materials will be requested as needed at a later date.
