Applications for this scheme are now open and must be recieved by 4pm on Monday 6 March 2017.
Over the last 20 years, the Academy’s Research Chairs and Senior Fellowships scheme has successfully supported numerous academic appointments and enhanced internationally renowned centres of excellence.
This scheme aims to strengthen the links between industry and academia by supporting exceptional academics in UK universities to undertake use-inspired research that meets the needs of the industrial partners.
Awardees are expected to:
Establish or enhance a world leading engineering research group
Deliver 'use-inspired' research that meets the needs of their industrial partners
Publish the results of their research in high quality peer review journals
Become a self-sustaining research group by the end of the award (by securing substantial external grant income: RCUK, EU, industry, charities, etc.)
The Academy is committed to diversity and welcomes applications from women and other groups who are currently underrepresented across engineering.
