Schemes for Engineers in Research and Development
Research Chairs: How To Apply
Enquiries are welcome
from individuals, UK-based university
departments or industries interested in the
scheme. However, the final proposal must be
submitted by the appropriate Head of
Department at the host university.
Under normal circumstances,
The Academy requires that all new Research Chairs be advertised in
order to attract the most experienced
individual for the appointment. However,
existing members of staff may be encouraged
to apply if appropriate and will be assessed
in competition with any other suitable
candidates.
See 'Assessment of
proposal and applicant' for details.

New Roman, 12 point. It should include:
