Applications are invited for The Leverhulme Trust Senior Research Fellowship to study in the UK. The purpose of the Fellowships is to cover the salary costs of a replacement academic who will take over the awardee’s teaching and administration duties for up to one year.
The RAEng/Leverhulme Trust Senior Research Fellowships aim to address this by allowing the academics to concentrate on full-time research and be relieved of teaching and administrative responsibilities.
As the UK’s national academy for engineering, we bring together the most successful and talented engineers from across the engineering sectors for a shared purpose: to advance and promote excellence in engineering.
Course Level: Fellowships are available for pursuing research.
Study Subject: All engineering disciplines are eligible, including computer science and materials.
Scholarship Award:
- The fellowship covers the salary costs (including pension, NI and any pay awards) of an early career academic who will take over non-research related activities of the awardee for the duration of the fellowship.
- Up to £2,500 is also available to the awardee to cover miscellaneous research costs, such as conference attendance and public engagement activities.
Scholarship can be taken in the UK
Eligibility: The following criteria must be met in order for applicants to be eligible for scholarship:
- Applicant should hold a permanent position at a UK university, at lecturer level or above.
- Applicant must be teaching an engineering discipline at the undergraduate or postgraduate level.
- Applicants must demonstrate sufficient experience and academic status to merit the title ‘Senior’ Research Fellow.
- Applicants must be able to demonstrate a significant administrative workload, which prevents them dedicating as much time to research as they would like and that they, therefore, merit being relieved of their teaching and administrative duties.
- Research projects should be in any engineering discipline. Engineering is defined in its broadest sense, encompassing a wide range of diverse fields including computer science and materials. If you are unsure if your project is in an engineering area, please contact the Programme Manager to check if you are eligible to apply.
- Awardees will be required to devote all of their time to the fellowship as this is a full-time award.
- Any applications that are incomplete or do not adhere to the guidelines may be rejected.
Nationality: Applicants of all nationalities are eligible to apply for these fellowships. There are no nationality restrictions but the applicants must currently hold a permanent position at a UK institution.
