The Royal Academy of Engineering offers Research Fellowships annually to the outstanding early-career researchers to help them to become future researchers in Engineering. The fellowships programs are founded for the following objectives:
° To support the best early-career researchers in establishing their international importance and independence.
° To provide long-term assistance in promoting the pursuit of an ambitious program of engineering research and impact
create ambassadors for the Academy and advocates for STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) disciplines.
The Royal Academy of Engineering is inviting early-career researchers worldwide who have been granted their Ph.D. in the last four years to apply for these fellowships programs.
The fellowship provides funding for a good five years. All accepted applications are capped at a maximum contribution from the Academy of £625,000 over the five years, at 80% of full economic costs. Nonetheless, the Research Fellowships will be held at a UK higher education university/institution or a UK research organization eligible to receive UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) funding.
The 2022/2023 fellowships program accept applications for the below research schemes:
