The Royal Academy of Engineering invites applications for its research fellowships and engineering for development research fellowships. These support early-career researchers in becoming future research leaders in engineering. Fellowships are worth up to £500,000 each and are tenable for five years. The academy provides 80 per cent of the full economic costs of the research programme.

The scheme's objectives are to: •support the best early-career researchers in establishing their independence and international reputation; •provide long-term support enabling the pursuit of an ambitious programme of engineering research and impact; •develop ambassadors for the Academy and advocates for STEM - science, technology, engineering and mathematics disciplines.

Applications are open to early-career researchers worldwide whose PhD has been conditionally approved or who have been awarded their PhD in the last four years. There are no nationality restrictions, but posts must be held at UK HEIs in a department that can show it is capable of fully supporting an engineering-focused research project and researcher. Applicants must not hold a permanent academic position.
