As academics progress through their careers from postdoctoral positions into more senior roles, their workload evolves to include more teaching and administrative responsibilities. As a result, they are left with less time to dedicate to research.
The RAEng/Leverhulme Trust Senior Research Fellowships aim to address this by allowing the academics to concentrate on full-time research and be relieved of teaching and administrative responsibilities. The purpose of the Fellowships is to cover the salary costs of a replacement academic who will take over the awardee鈥檚 teaching and administration duties for up to one year.
The fellowships are funded by the kind support of .
Key benefits of the fellowship:
- These fellowships provide engineering academics with an opportunity to reinvigorate their research careers, enhance their current research interests or start new lines of research without teaching or administrative constraints
- They also provide an opportunity for the junior academic to gain valuable teaching and administrative experience by covering the duties of the awardee
- An additional support fund of up to 拢2,500 is available to the awardee for miscellaneous research costs
