NEUROSCIENCE
Visiting Fellowship awards
An award from the J.S. McDonnell Foundation, St Louis, USA, will continue to fund the
Oxford McDonnellPew Centre for Cognitive Neuroscience until April 2003. The
centre, which is closely integrated with the Medical Research Council Centre for Cognitive
Neuroscience, links work on many aspects of brain research relevant to human cognition in
several departments at Oxford and other institutions.
The McDonnellPew Centre encourages work in all areas of cognitive neuroscience
across all relevant disciplines and embraces research on experimental, theoretical, and clinical
studies of perceptual analysis, memory, language, and motor control, including philosophical
approaches to cognition. Current and fuller information on the centre is available at
http://www.cogneuro.ox.ac.uk.
The renewed centre offers several forms of support, including visiting fellowships for
distinguished researchers from overseas or elsewhere in Britain who wish to work within the
centre for periods between a week and several months. A modest grant may be provided to
help with costs of travel and accommodation (but not salary or stipend), and to pay a bench
fee to the host department.
There is no application form. Applications should include the following information:
name, address and status of applicant (in the form of a very brief curriculum
vitae);
names and addresses of collaborators in Oxford;
a brief statement (up to 300 words) of the proposed research;
a list of any publications that have already resulted from the research;
an outline plan of visit/s and expenditure, with total estimated budget;
other sources of funding and the amount requested.
Applications can be submitted at any time (e-mail is acceptable), to
Sally Harte, Administrative Secretary, McDonnellPew Centre for Cognitive
Neuroscience, University Laboratory of Physiology, Parks Road,
Oxford OX1 3PT (telephone: (2)72497, fax: (2)72488, e-mail:

ASHMOLEAN (SACKLER) LIBRARY
Opening arrangements for the Sackler Library
Further to previous notices, the Library wishes to alert readers to its plans to move into the
Sackler Library in the Long Vacation of 2001. A detailed timetable is currently being
formulated in consultation with the appropriate committees.
In principle it is anticipated that apart from complete closure of about a week
(probably the last week in June), the Library will remain open with discrete sections of stock
unavailable while being transferred over the course of the following five to six weeks. The
move should be completed by mid August. Further updates and a more detailed timetable will
be published as soon as possible on the Sackler Library Web site at
http://www/saclib.ox.ac.uk/sackler.html.
During the remaining construction period there may be occasional noise
disturbance
from the building site and times when it becomes necessary for health and safety reasons to
close or partially close the library at short notice. The Library regrets any resulting
inconvenience to readers and is taking all practicable measures to minimise disruption.

VICE-CHANCELLORS' FUND
A fund has been established through donations by members of the
Chancellor's Court of Benefactors in honour of three recent
Vice-Chancellors, Sir Patrick Neill, Sir Richard Southwood, and
Sir Peter North. A small number of awards is available to assist
those working for a postgraduate research qualification of the
University. Priority will be given to students nearing the end
of their research to enable them to avoid seeking paid employment
at a critical stage in their work. The academic merit of
candidates will be a primary consideration. Grants form the fund
will not normally exceed the sum required for one term's
maintenance.
The fund will be administered by the Committee on Student
Hardship, and applications should be made on the Student Hardship
application form which is available from college offices. The
closing date for applications to reach the University Offices is

LEVERHULME TRUST
Leverhulme Major Research Fellowships
2001
The Leverhulme Trustees propose to offer up to twenty two- or
three-year Major Research Fellowships in UK universities,
designed to enable researchers to devote themselves to a single
project of outstanding originality and significance. All fields
in the humanities and social sciences are eligible.
Each fellowship will normally be held for two or three years.
The tenure of most fellowships will commence on 1 October 2002,
but an earlier start date is possible. A later start date will
be possible only in exceptional circumstances.
Candidates holding an established post in the humanities or
social sciences at a UK university, who have held a post in the
UK for at least the past five years, are eligible. Candidates
must be of an age to return to full-time academic posts for at
least two years after holding a fellowship. Priority will be
given to applications from candidates over the age of thirty-
five.
The support offered consists of the salary of a full-time
replacement lecturer for two or three years at a grade not to
exceed spinal point 8 (currently £20,465) on the RA1A scale,
plus superannuation, national insurance, and London Allowance
where applicable. An amount of up to £3,000 per annum will
also be made available by the Trust to help meet the fellow's
research expenses. Capital equipment, overheads, indirect costs,
and bench fees are not eligible costs.
Successful applicants will be expected to spend a minimum of
80 per cent of their time on the project and no more than thirty
hours in each month on other academic and professorial
responsibilities. Universities must undertake to appoint a
lecturer as stipulated above, and to grant research leave to
fellows for the duration of the award.
The closing date for applications is Friday, 4 May. Decisions
will be made in November 2001.
An application pack may be obtained from the Trust by sending
a self-addressed A4 or A5 envelope stamped for 60g to the
Leverhulme Trust, 1 Pemberton Row, London EC4A 3BG. No packs will
be mailed out after Friday, 27 April. Application packs cannot
be faxed or e-mailed to candidates. Details of the scheme are
also on the Trust's Web site,

TIMOTHY BAILEY SCHOLARSHIP
The Timothy Bailey Trust has been set up in memory of Timothy
Bailey, a Biology graduate of Christ Church. It aims to provide
financial support to students of Oxford University to assist them
in undertaking any extra-curricular project or expedition
relating to the Biological Sciences. Generally a single
Scholarship will be awarded each year, on a competitive basis.
Applicants should produce a written proposal of 500--1,000 words
stating clearly: (a) the background to, and aims of, the
activity; (b) how a successful outcome to the activity
will contribute to our knowledge and understanding of any aspect
of Biology; (c) detailed work plans for a successful
outcome; (d) how, in the event of a successful
application, the award will contribute to this outcome.
Timothy Bailey was especially interested in Evolution, Entomology
and Developmental Biology and applications in any or all of these
areas are especially encouraged, although this is not an
essential requirement.
It is expected that applicants will normally be individuals,
including those going on University Expeditions with others.
Exceptionally expeditions may also be considered for joint
funding although this is not preferred.
Three copies of each application should be addressed as follows:
the Timothy Bailey Scholarship, c/o Professor D. J. Rogers,
Department of Zoology, South Parks Road, Oxford OX1 3PS.
Applications must be received on or before Friday of eighth week
of Hilary Term (9 March) and decisions will be reached and
communicated to the successful applicants by the end of first
week of Trinity Term (27 April). Candidates who have not heard
by the start of the second week of Trinity Term must assume they
have been unsuccessful.
Entries will be judged by the Trustees, whose decision is final.
Currently the Trustees are Dr Mark Bailey, Mr Greg Payne, and
Professor David Rogers. The Timothy Bailey Scholarships will be
to a value of approximately £500. In the event of joint
winners the Trustees will divide this sum between them.
The winning applicant(s) will be expected to acknowledge the
support of the Timothy Bailey Trust in any reports or scientific
papers arising from any activity supported by the Trust. They
should also provide a written report of no more than 2,000 words
to the Trustees upon completion of the research and travel
supported.
Information regarding the life and interests of Timothy Bailey,
plus further details on the Trust, can be found at
www.timothybailey.com.
It is hoped that this award can be made for a number of years
into the future, depending upon the funds available to the
Trustees.
