The Royal Astronomical Society invites applications for the Norman Lockyer fellowship. This enables a researcher to devote the majority of their time to research on an astronomical topic, including solar system and planetary science.
PI eligibility
Applicants should hold a doctorate or equivalent from a recognised HEI obtained after 1 October five years before the start of the fellowship, or have taken the PhD viva voce examination by the application deadline and expect to be awarded the degree before the start date. Applicants may be of any nationality, however, employment will be through the host institution, therefore applicants must indicate their UK residency status to confirm they are able to work at the institution.
