Eligibility criteria
- Applicants should hold a permanent academic position at a UK university at lecturer, senior lecturer, reader level (or equivalent).
- Applicants must be teaching an engineering discipline at undergraduate or postgraduate level.
- Applicants must be able to demonstrate a significant administrative workload, which prevents them from dedicating as much time to research as they would like, and that they therefore merit being relieved of their teaching and administrative duties.
- Awardees are required to devote all their working time to the Fellowship as this is a full-time award. Awards can be held on a part-time basis, please refer to the section on Part-time and flexible working below for more details.
- Any applications that are incomplete or do not adhere to the guidelines may be rejected.
- The proposed research project can be in any engineering discipline. Engineering is defined in its broadest sense, encompassing a wide range of diverse fields, including computer science and materials.
If you are unsure whether your project is in an engineering area, please contact Research Team.
Please note: Unlike in previous rounds of this scheme, successful awardees can spend a maximum of four hours per week on teaching and administrative duties if they so wish.
