About this position
The University Research Fellowship from The Royal Society supports outstanding early-career scientists who are developing the independence and leadership needed to shape their field. It is a flexible research fellowship scheme designed to help researchers establish and grow their own programme of work within a supportive environment.
The award provides salary support together with funding for research assistance, plus dedicated research costs. The scheme is structured to accommodate different career paths and working patterns, including part-time working, sabbaticals, and secondments, and it also includes provisions for maternity, paternity, adoptive, or extended sick leave.
This is a broad, cross-disciplinary opportunity open to scientists across all subject areas, rather than a single project in one specific laboratory. The emphasis is on the candidate’s potential, research excellence, and future leadership in their chosen field.
