The scheme aims to support outstanding early career researchers who have recently completed their doctoral studies, by providing funding to progress their own research agenda and develop their skills as independent researchers. In an extremely competitive application process, over a hundred applicants across all subject areas were considered, and eight fellows were recruited.
Each Fellow will be supported by a mentor within their chosen School and offered bespoke career advice, a dedicated training programme and one-to-one support to develop strong applications for prestigious externally funded fellowships.
Applications are now open for the next corhort. Deadline for applying is 2 December.
