EPSRC seeks expressions of interest for the refresh of the membership of the Manufacturing the Future Early Career Forum. EPSRC is looking to appoint 10 new members of the forum. Applicants should have a strong focus on advancing the UK鈥檚 international reputation in manufacturing research, be open to developing inter-disciplinary research agendas,help with two way communication between EPSRC and the early career manufacturing research community, and have an interest in participating in research policy development. Members of the Early Career Forum will have the opportunity to interact with other early career academics from across the breadth of engineering and the physical sciences, forming new professional networks that may generate future innovative research programmes. Forum members will also have targeted opportunities to participate in EPSRC strategic advisory activities, interact with senior staff of EPSRC funded large grants, including the EPSRC Future Manufacturing Hubs, and will receive insight into, and practical advice relating to, UK funding body policy and practice. This opportunity is available to early career academics. To recognise the range of career paths in manufacturing, there is no specific definition of 鈥渆arly career鈥�; however, applicants should demonstrate why they consider it appropriate to describe themselves as such. This forms part of the assessment criteria outlined below. This opportunity is open to full-time and part-time academic staff and Fellowship holders, according to the normal eligibility rules for EPSRC funding. In this call, EPSRC will only accept applications from UK Higher Education Institutions. For information on the eligibility of individuals to receive EPSRC funding |
