Beth Eyre - Writing a fellowship application

Beth Eyre narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher.

Not only is this the year I will Beth be finishing her PhD training, but this was also the year she had a go at writing her first ever fellowship application. Writing your first applicatoin can be a hard slog (which is probably why so many people take a gap year between PhD and Fellowship and explore a ready-made postdoc position). Beth says she is very lucky, because she has extremely helpful supervisors to provide lots of advice along the way. So in this blog, Beth shares some of the ins and outs of the process. Because let’s be honest, there are many things within academia that we have no idea about until we actually have to do them – and fellowship applications certainly fall into that category!
