Schemes supporting early career researchers are so exciting to me 鈥� seeing researchers have the chance to really develop their own ideas and build their teams. The Robinson is a great example of such a scheme, and I鈥檓 very excited to have the opportunity.
"Claire is an outstanding recipient for a Robinson Fellowship. Having developed new approaches in understanding neuropsychiatric symptoms and mechanisms of disease during her postdoctoral years in Cambridge, the Fellowship will further enhance her research at the Brain and Mind Centre," said听Co-Director of the Brain and Mind Centre Professor Matthew Kiernan.听
Claire is also the recipient of the (2023) and a Brain and Mind Centre Development Grant (2020).听
The Robinson Fellowships work to support and retain high achieving early-career academics by creating a pathway towards continuing teaching and research positions.听
