Application process at RBGE

We encourage applicants from all backgrounds and have a range of initiatives to promote diversity and inclusivity, including part-time and flexible working and proactive celebration of diversity among our staff, students, and volunteers. More on equality, diversity and inclusion.

If you are interested in applying to a funding scheme to become a research fellow at RBGE, please contact Michelle Wagner (mwagner@rbge.org.uk), Science Manager in the first instance to discuss your potential proposal and fit to RBGE.  

The next steps in the process will be to complete an Expression of Interest form and submit this, along with a CV for review. These documents should be submitted ideally at least three months in advance of the deadline for any preferred scheme.  A panel will convene to review EoIs and long-list applicants will be asked to deliver a short pitch. Those applicants proceeding to a full application to the funder will receive further guidance and feedback from our fellowship support team during the full application process.
