A new round of Newton International Fellowships - an initiative
to fund research collaborations and improve links between UK and
overseas researchers - has now opened.
Further details are available from the Newton International Fellowships
website: www.newtonfellowships.org
The Newton International Fellowships are funded by the British Academy
and the Royal Society and aim to attract the most promising early-career
post-doctoral researchers from overseas in the fields of the
humanities, the natural, physical and social sciences. The Fellowships
enable researchers to work for two years at a UK research institution
with the aim of fostering long-term international collaborations.
Newton Fellows will receive an allowance of £24,000 to cover subsistence and up
to £8,000 to cover research expenses in each year of the
Fellowship. A one-off relocation allowance of up to £2,000 is also
available.
In addition, Newton Fellows may be eligible for follow-up funding of up
to £6,000 per annum for up to 10 years following completion of the
Fellowship to support activities which will help build long term links
with the UK.
The scheme is open to post-doctoral (and equivalent) early-career
researchers working outside the UK who do not hold UK citizenship.
Early career means having held no more than one or two brief post doc positions.
Applications are to be made via the Royal Society’s online application system
which is available
at https://e-gap.royalsociety.org/ The closing date for applications is
Wednesday 10th April 2013
but you should aim to get it to the host organisation at least a week in
advance.
