The Science and Technology Facilities Council invites applications for its innovation partnership scheme fellowships. These support a knowledge exchange and commercialisation professional in a position at a UK university in developing innovation and impact from its STFC-funded research outputs. The fellow must cultivate innovation opportunities by facilitating the transfer of technologies, skills and knowledge to industry and other users of research outputs. They must also focus on commercial exploitation to ensure UK economic impact, and strive to enhance the capacity for knowledge exchange within STFC funded departments of the host university.
UK universities or consortia of universities may apply. The host university is expected to be in receipt of significant active grant funding from the STFC science programme.
Fellowships are for up to four years, covering up to 50 per cent of the fellowship at 80 per cent full economic costing.
