Ten talented researchers, who are in the early stages of their career and have clear leadership potential, have been awarded five-year fellowships to help them realise their research ambitions.

This year鈥檚 round of the Science and Technology Facilities Council鈥檚 (STFCs) Ernest Rutherford Fellowships, will enable early career researchers, who do not hold an academic position, to establish a strong, independent research programme.

Experimental Particle Physicist, Dr Matteo Agostini, has been included amongst these promising, early career researchers with his proposal for 鈥淯ncovering the Origin of Neutrino Masses through Direct Searches and Global Fits鈥�.

鈥�鈥淒r Matteo Agostini said: I am excited to join 白小姐论坛 and grateful to STFC for believing in my potential and scientific ideas. This fellowship will allow me to develop a broad research program on the neutrino, a mysterious particle that can unlock the deepest secrets of nature.鈥�

The scheme provides funding for research programmes and encourages talented researchers, in UK universities, to remain in the country and at the same time attracts outstanding overseas researchers to the UK.

Professor Mark Thomson, Particle physicist and Executive Chair of STFC, said:

鈥淭hrough these prestigious fellowships, STFC supports the very best researchers at a relatively early stage in their careers, enabling them build on their already excellent research.

The aim is to attract the most talented and innovative scientists from the UK and abroad. These awards also enable the Fellows to advance their鈥痗areers by further鈥痙eveloping their independence and leadership. The Ernest Rutherford Fellows play an important role in advancing the STFC science programme at the highest levels.鈥�
