About this position

Dorothy Hodgkin Fellowship at The Royal Society is a flexible research fellowship scheme supporting outstanding early-career scientists and engineers as they take a first step toward an independent research career.

The fellowship is designed for researchers who need a working pattern that can accommodate personal circumstances such as parenting, caring responsibilities, or health issues. It is intended to support research-led independence while allowing flexibility for part-time working, sabbaticals, secondments, and extended leave arrangements.

As a Royal Society scheme, it supports ambitious research across the sciences and engineering rather than a single project area. The award includes support for the fellow’s salary and research costs, enabling recipients to build and lead their own research activity within an academic environment.

The fellowship also provides resource support for a postdoctoral research assistant and a four-year PhD studentship, alongside support for public engagement and professional development activities. It is a career-development award aimed at helping researchers establish their independent profile within the UK research system.

This is a fellowship scheme rather than a standard advertised project vacancy, and it is run annually by the Royal Society.
