INFORMATION FOR APPLICANTS
Applications are invited for the Varley-Gradwell Travelling
Fellowship in Insect Ecology 2015. Fellowships of up to £2,500
in value are awarded for the support of fieldwork, travel and
other activity in the field of insect ecology.
Applications are judged on their practicality and potential to
make a contribution to insect ecology. Preference is given to
those in their early post-doctoral years, but strong applications
from those at the post-graduate level have been successful in
the past. The fellowship is not available for the support of
under-graduate research.
The fellowships are tenable for one year commencing on a
date to be agreed. They are not renewable.
To apply please send:
1. A one page curriculum vitae
2. A research proposal including a budget. This should not
exceed two sides of A4 in length
3. Two references these should be emailed by the referee
directly to the Secretary, Lynne Bradley at

students one of the referees should be the supervisor.
4. All applications to be emailed to
trustfunds@zoo.ox.ac.uk. All applications will be
acknowledged.
CLOSING DATE: 20th April 2015
Applicants should note that if large numbers of specimens will result from the
work, the cost of follow up work should be shown in the budget, and details
given of how, and by whom, they would be identified. In this case, applicants
must also show their willingness and ability to work with local scientists and
institutions in order to obtain full official permission for the export of any
specimens back to the UK, and later to share identified specimens with
institutions within the host country, if requested.
