Abstract
THE Council of the British Cotton Industry Research Association has decided to make an annual award of a limited number of research fellowships with the object of training young men in research methods in pure science, and particularly those branches of prime interest to the Association. The Association conducts research into the utilization of cotton, rayon, silk and synthetic fibres, and examples of scientific fields of present interest to the Association are: carbohydrate and protein chemistry; fundamental studies of high polymers; photochemistry; fundamental physical studies relating to properties of matter or electronics; theory of instrumentation; mathematics; studies on the colloidal state. The fellowships will be open to graduates of British nationality and will be tenable at any British university. Their value will depend on circumstances, but will not in any case be less than £200 per annum. The Association will be guided in its choice of the location of fellows chiefly by the type of research conducted by the professor under whose direction the candidate elects to work. Application for election to a fellowship should therefore be made through the professor and should be accompanied by a statement of the problem to be studied. It will be normal for the Association to wish to interview candidates, but the recommendation of the professor will be an essential and will carry great weight in the selection. Applications should be forwarded to the Director, British Cotton Industry Research Association, Shirley Institute, Didsbury, Manchester, not later than two months before the commencement of the work.
