1. The scheme offers you the opportunity to:
   
   build an independent research career
   focus on your own research, with a limit on administrative and teaching duties
   hold your fellowship on a part-time basis to suit personal circumstances
   
   This scheme is highly flexible to accommodate for part-time working, sabbaticals and secondments. There is also provision for maternity, paternity, adoptive or extended sick leave (PDF). Research must be within the Royal Society鈥檚 remit of natural sciences, which includes but is not limited to biological research, chemistry, engineering, mathematics and physics. For a full list, please see the breakdown of subject groups and areas supported by the Royal Society.
   
   Researchers addressing a direct biomedical research question should apply for a Sir Henry Dale Fellowship. Those applying from Ireland (ROI) are funded by Science Foundation Ireland and will need to read the eligibility requirements in the specific scheme notes.
   
   You can apply for this scheme if you:
   
   have between three to eight years of research experience since your PhD by the closing date of the round. Career breaks are taken into account, please refer to the scheme notes for further detail
   do not hold a permanent post in a university or not for profit research organisation
   do not hold, or have not previously held, an equivalent fellowship that provides an opportunity to establish an independent research group and therefore independent researcher status. Funding is initially provided for five years with the opportunity to apply for an extension of an additional three years.
   
   The scheme provides:
   
   Research Fellows salary: 80% of the basic salary costs up to 拢40,681.46 in the first year, estates costs and indirect costs
   Research expenses:
   - Contribution to research expenses of 拢13,000 in year one and 拢11,000 per year thereafter
   - Additional research expenses of up to 拢40,000 in 2020/21 will also be awarded
   Research assistance:
   - Contribution to a postdoctoral research assistant and/or a four-year PhD studentship
   - Equipment costs

   - Funding for training and professional development for the Research Fellow and any staff or students supported by the grant

Over the last 20 years, the Academy鈥檚 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
Disseminate the outcomes of their research for appropriate academic impact
Become a self-sustaining research group by the end of the award (by securing substantial external grant income: RCUK, EU, industry, charities, etc.)

The Royal Academy of Engineering is committed to diversity and inclusion and welcomes applications from all under-represented groups across engineering. It is the Academy's policy to ensure that no applicant is disadvantaged or recieves less favourable treatment because of age, disability, gender reassignemet, marriage abd civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation.

The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council invites applications for its strategic equipment call. This is intended to enhance UK scientific capability and support a portfolio of high-quality, cutting-edge research of high priority. The request should fit with the host university strategy and enable research that predominantly falls within EPSRC's remit. Strategic equipment could include cutting-edge technology that enables novel research or high-specification equipment that enables research through increased capability and capacity. Applications may be for a single item or a number of items that are clearly intended to be combined and used as a single asset.

The council encourages a culture of equipment sharing where appropriate in order to maximise usage within the research group, across institutions or across the UK.

Equipment must have a minimum value of 拢400,000.
