The MacGillavry Fellowship is primarily directed at talented women. We were therefore especially seeking women who have a strong track record in one of the Faculty’s scientific disciplines and at the same time have the potential and ambition to obtain a leadership position as professor at the University of Amsterdam.

The deadline for applications was closed on 4 February 2019. The Faculty of Science received 420 applications from all over the world. Twenty-one candidates received an invitation for a selection day. In total seven new MacGillavry Fellows were appointed.

We are proud to introduce them here.
