FTMA Talent Gateway Placement Form 2026
FTMA Placements are targeted at professionals in research, such as early career researchers including postdocs, plus established researchers, technicians and other professional staff. The FTMA partners (University of Hertfordshire, National Physical Laboratory & University College London) have funds available for members of the research & professional community to identify and execute Innovation Placements of up to 2 weeks (full time or part time) to improve career flexibility and permeability between sectors. University partners can use these placements to place their staff in industry, commerce, policy and other sectors (including academia in some cases). Placements will support the exchange of personnel, perspectives, knowledge, skills and expertise of any kind but with special relevance to the biological and health biosciences.
