Call summary

The Royal Academy of Engineering, in partnership with the Leverhulme Trust, invites applications for its 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 are available, each covering the salary costs of a replacement academic for between one academic term and one year, up to a maximum total of £55,000. An additional £2,500 is also available for research-related expenses.

Scientific scope

Engineering and Physics

PI eligibility

Applicants should hold a permanent teaching position at a UK university at lecturer, senior lecturer or reader level. They must be teaching an engineering discipline at undergraduate or postgraduate level. Applicants must also demonstrate a significant administrative workload which prevents them from dedicating enough time to their research. Professors are not eligible to apply.
