Leverhulme Trust Senior Research Fellowships
Deadline: 11 January 2010
The Royal Society Leverhulme Trust Senior Research Fellowships seek to provide opportunities for academic researchers to be relieved of all their teaching and administrative duties. These appointments enable academic researchers to concentrate on full-time research for up to one year.
Normally fellowships are held at the applicant's own university, or any university or not-for-profit research organisation in the UK (this includes industrial research organisations in the UK, approved by the Council of the Royal Society and the Leverhulme Trust).
Subject coverage: Natural sciences (including agriculture, mathematics, technology, medical and engineering sciences).
Eligibility: Applicants must be of postdoctoral status or equivalent, hold a permanent post in a UK University and be at a stage in their career when they would particularly benefit from a period of full-time research.
Funding: Support is available between one academic term and one year. The fellow's employing institution will be reimbursed for the full salary costs for the applicant. Research expenses up to a maximum of £2,500 are available to cover costs of consumables, etc.
7 awards are offered per year.
Application procedure: Applications can only be submitted online on e-GAP system (https://e-gap.royalsociety.org ).
