The University of Edinburgh intends to appoint up to 100 Chancellor's Fellowships across the University`s 22 Schools as an investment in the future of teaching and research. These prestigious awards are aimed at early career individuals of the highest potential who have begun to establish a reputation for the highest quality research at the forefront of their discipline and who have a commitment to learning and teaching at university level.

The School of Physics and Astronomy expects to appoint 5 such Fellows, and had identified "Characterization and synthesis of materials at extremely high pressure, from dynamic shock or static" as a strategic area for appointment.
