Hi postdocs
I have some questions about writing grants - more the application side of things than the actual writing. Do you need to be affiliated with a university / institution? I am just wondering how this sort of thing happens in reality. Might it be that you are working as a postdoc and at the same time putting together a fellowship application to do a postdoc at the same or another university? Do you need to have named supervisors on it etc, a bit like with a PhD application? Or can you apply for a fellowship AT a university - so you don't necessarily need to have that stuff sorted already (a bit like if you were applying for a PhD scholarship at a university with your own idea for the project but not much more than that?)
Hopefully my questions make some sort of sense.
Thanks
Tudor
It's a great question TQ and I would be interested to see what others have to say about this.
I have no experience of postdoccing or applying for funding but would the specific funding application process itself not provide details on all of this? I imagine they are all different.
Thank you pm133 and Thesisfun.
So it sounds as though you identify a host university and person or team, and then you write the funding application. Much like applying for PhD funding.
Good point pm133, I should indeed check the individual websites and guidance. It just seems a bit mystical to me (a bit like how it was when I was trying to understand how applying for PhD funding worked), so I thought people on here might be able to shed some light on the process for me.
