Schemes for Engineers in Research and Development
Research Fellowships
 Research Fellowships are
designed to promote excellence in engineering. They
provide support for high-quality engineers to
encourage them to develop their interests in
academic research as a stepping stone to a
successful research career.
This is the seventh year in
which we have successfully run the scheme in
partnership with EPSRC.
Research Fellowships are aimed
at outstanding researchers from all branches of
engineering who are about to finish their PhD or
have up to three years Post-Doctoral research
experience. The scheme provides funding for five
years to encourage the best researchers to remain in
the university engineering sector. In addition to
the direct financial support, the scheme offers:
-
freedom to concentrate on
basic research in any field of engineering
-
time to establish a track
record in the field
-
the services of a mentor
(a Fellow of The Academy) to offer advice and to
facilitate industrial links as the research
progresses
-
restricted teaching and
administrative duties
The call for applications is
now open. The deadline for submissions is 28 October
2008. Please see the Guidance Notes for more
details.
