The Wellcome Trust-funded Centre for Immunity, Infection and Evolution (CIIE) has become a major centre for interdisciplinary research into infectious disease since its inception in 2008. This thriving Centre is now looking to attract dynamic and enthusiastic researchers, eager to operate at the interface between disciplines (e.g. infection biology, immunology, evolutionary biology, ecology, epidemiology and mathematical modelling) to create new research paradigms to tackle infectious diseases. To promote this, we are offering two interdisciplinary research fellowships of two years' duration, with the intention of providing a springboard for independent fellowship applications. Fellowships can be linked to, or combine, existing scientific areas within the Centre (http://ciie.bio.ed.ac.uk/), though applicants with their own research projects within the remit of the Centre are also welcome. 

CIIE is hosted within the Institute for Immunology and Infection Research and Institute for Evolutionary Biology, these being part of the  Edinburgh Infectious Disease  research community, one of the largest groups of infection biologists world-wide.  Together with our host Institutes, we will also welcome inquiries from researchers holding, or interested in applying for, externally-funded independent research fellowships in the area of interdisciplinary infection research.
