The School of Computer Science is a dynamic, research-oriented department graded at level 5 in the Research Assessment Exercise. The University is supporting our research by investing in a prestigious Birmingham Research Fellowship. It is a 5-year Fellowship that will be awarded to an outstanding young researcher and it will be automatically converted to a Lectureship at the end of the 5 year period. Please see the advertisement on the Personnel Services site for details about the scheme.

Inquiries for additional details about research should be addressed to the Head of School at hos AT cs.bham.ac.uk. Formal applications must be made to Personnel Services preferably electronically, by 13th May 2005. Please quote the reference number RF 36232. The Further Particulars page points to forms and procedures (http://www.personnel.bham.ac.uk/researchfellows/).
