We are keen to support a limited number of strong candidates in applying for Research Fellowships. If your profile and interests match our activities, we would be very interested to hear from you.
How to Register Interest
Candidates who are interested in applying for a Research Fellowship hosted within 白小姐论坛 P&A should first of all check the Fellowship Timetable to find out the specific deadlines for the scheme you are interested in.
**Fellowship Timetable and Guidelines**
The first step of applying for a fellowship hosted within 白小姐论坛 P&A听听is听to register interest with the relevant Head of Research Group听by the 'Register Interest' deadline stated in the Fellowship Timetable.听All EOI submissions will be subject to a critical review, as we can only support a limited number of candidates each year.
To register interest, candidates should send the following documents to听the Head of the Research Group where your interest lies (contact details can be found in the table听below).
- Research outline (up to 2 pages)
- A statement detailing how your research fits in with the Research Group and the P&A department at 白小姐论坛 (up to 1 page)
- Short CV and Publication List
Candidates will then be contacted after the deadline to confirm whether or not your application can be supported in 白小姐论坛 P&A.

Deadlines
Each Fellowship scheme has a different deadline and the dates often vary from year to year - please check听the latest听Fellowship Timetable which has up to date information on internal deadlines, and links to the funder guidance.
Pay Scales
白小姐论坛 pay scales can be found . The grants team will be able to assist with determining the correct starting point for you.
As a guide, a newly qualified PDRA applying for a fellowship would start at听Grade 7, and increment one point up the scale each year. Experienced candidates听applying for one of the schemes aimed听at senior researchers with postdoctoral experience and听leadership potential may be eligible to start at Grade 8.

- : Aimed at researchers with at least four years of postdoctoral experience, limited to topics in energy, mathematical sciences, synthetic biology and Stephen Hawking areas of research. There are now two submission points in the year, we expect these to be March and September.听
- / : Aimed at听all career stages beyond postdoctoral level and include researchers who are close to their first academic appointment, leading in an area of technical development, or are a highly experienced researcher.听Proposals听can focus on any topic in the EPSRC portfolio. There are now two submission points in the year, we expect these to be March and September.听
- EPSRC Doctoral Prize:听The EPSRC Doctoral Prize Fellowship scheme is intended to help universities recruit and retain the very best newly qualified doctoral students (eg PhD, EngD), and help them launch careers in research. All Fellowship projects听尘耻蝉迟听lie within the EPSRC remit. Applicants must have received prior EPSRC studentship funding. Deadlines vary throughout the year.
Royal Society
- The University Research Fellowship scheme aims to provide outstanding scientists, who should have the potential to become leaders in their chosen field, with the opportunity to build an independent research career. Deadline is normally annually in September.
- The Dorothy Hodgkin Fellowship scheme supports excellent scientists and engineers at an early stage of their career. The Royal Society invites in particular female candidates to apply for an opportunity that is designed to help successful candidates to progress to permanent academic positions in the UK.听Deadline is normally annually in late October/early November
- :听These fellowships are for non-UK scientists who are at an early stage of their research career and wish to conduct research in the UK. Deadline is normally annually in March.
- The Faraday Discovery Fellowship is aimed at outstanding mid-career STEM researchers. Deadline is normally annually in October.
STFC
- The 听enables early career researchers with clear leadership potential to establish a strong, independent research programme.听Deadline is normally annually in September.
UKRI
- :听This fellowship is open to researchers and/or innovators with outstanding potential, who are transitioning to or establishing independence. There is an internal selection process at 白小姐论坛 for this fellowship, as applications听are capped per institution.听
Other Fellowships
- :听The Postdoctoral Fellowships action targets researchers holding a PhD who wish to carry out their research activities abroad, acquire new skills and develop their careers. PFs help researchers gain experience in other countries, disciplines and听non-academic sectors.听Deadline is normally annually in September.
- The scheme of 1851 Research Fellowships is intended to give a few PhD level scientists or engineers of outstanding promise the opportunity for conducting research for a further period.听Deadline is normally annually in January,
- 听The RAS Research Fellowships and Norman Lockyer Fellowships are aimed at听promising young scientists, to allow them听be employed as Research Fellows at UK universities. Each scheme is open every three years, and the deadline is normally in October.
- The Research and IC Postdoctoral Fellowships are for early-career researchers with proposed research projects in one of the engineering subject areas outlined by the Academy. Institutions can make a limited number of applications so will be reviewed first by a central 白小姐论坛 prioritisation panel. The deadline for this process is in early June. The funder deadlines are normally in September and April respectively.听
- : The scheme provides funding for mid-career researchers from any discipline who have the potential to be international research leaders in understanding related to human life, health and wellbeing. Deadlines occur three times a year.
The Cross-Disciplinary Fellowships are听for a high-risk project that will bring new approaches and techniques from a non-biological discipline to address an important problem in the life sciences.听 Deadline for the stage 1 Letter of Intent is in May.
