Applying
Inquiries
To find out more about working at or visiting LIMS, please email Chloe Williams-Wynne (chloe(at)london-institute.org) with the words “Applying to LIMS” in the subject.
Fellows
Fellows are the most senior members of LIMS, and may be employed part-time (at a minimum of one month a year) or full-time. This structure reflects the Institute's desire to rapidly bring on board new scientists, many of whom will concurrently have independent academic positions elsewhere. All Fellows are given a desk in the Institute and are welcome to use the building at any time throughout the year, and can stay overnight in the Institute’s guest rooms. They are encouraged to bring in research grants.
Visiting fellows
Visiting Fellows make up a significant fraction of the Institute's scientific community, and provide a wider spectrum of scientists than could normally be resident at an institute of modest size. While Visiting Fellows are not paid a salary, they are welcome to make use of the Institute at all hours.
Postdocs
Junior scientists may apply for postdocs at the Institute generally by contacting Chloe Williams-Wynne (see below) or the Fellow with whom they would like to work.
Graduate students
The Institute encourages graduate students from other universities to make short or extended visits.
