Royal Society - Wolfson Fellowships
The Royal Society invites applications for the Wolfson fellowship. This supports senior-career researchers recruited or retained to a UK university or research institution in fields identified as a strategic priority for the host department or organisation. The scheme covers all areas of the life and physical sciences, including engineering, but excluding clinical medicine.
Applicants must either currently hold a permanent post, funded by the host institution and can include partial funding of salary from an external grant, or have received a firm offer to take effect from the start of the appointment. They must conduct research in the life or physical sciences, including agriculture, mathematics, technology and engineering, but excluding clinical medicine.
For overseas recruitment applications, the fellowship is worth up to 拢250,000 and may be used as part of their start-up package to support their research programme and team. Fellowships for researchers already in the host organisation are worth up to 拢150,000. The scheme provides up to five years of funding.
