The Royal Astronomical Society invites applications for its research fellowships. These enable early-career scientists to pursue research in the UK in astronomy, solar-system science, geophysics and closely related branches of these sciences. Applicants should have obtained a recognised PhD degree or equivalent after 1 October, five years before the start of the fellowship or have taken the viva examination by the application deadline and expect to be awarded a PhD degree by the fellowship start date. Applicants may be of any nationality, but employment will be through the host institution. The award amount will be between spine points 30 and 36, inclusive, on the UCU single pay spine. If the host university wishes to pay at spine points above 36, the extra expenditure must be found from their own funds. A further £2,000 per year may be claimed for travel and incidental expenses. The RAS accept claims for national insurance at normal rates and the employer pension contribution at 18 per cent of the salary. In addition sums of up to £2,000 per year for travel and incidental expenses will be considered. |
