Call summary
The Royal Academy of Engineering, in partnership with the Leverhulme Trust, invites applications for its senior research fellowships. These enable engineering academics to concentrate on full-time research in any engineering discipline by relieving them of their administrative and teaching responsibilities. In addition, funding enables a junior academic to gain teaching and administrative experience by covering the duties of the awardee. Up to seven fellowships cover the costs of a replacement academic over between one academic term and one year. An additional £2,500 is also available for research-related expenses. (Forecasted date for next year's call).
Scientific scope

Applicants should hold a permanent teaching position at a UK university at lecturer, senior lecturer or reader level.
