The Royal Society invites applications for the Wolfson fellowship. This supports senior-career researchers recruited or retained to a UK university or research institution in fields identified as a strategic priority for the host department or organisation. The scheme covers all areas of the life and physical sciences, including engineering, but excluding clinical medicine.
Applicants must either currently hold a permanent post that is funded by the host institution and can include partial funding of salary from an external grant, or have received a firm offer to take effect from the start of the appointment.
For overseas recruitment applications, the fellowship is worth up to £250,000 and may be used as part of a fellow’s start-up package to support their research programme and team. Fellowships for researchers already in the host organisation are worth up to £150,000 each. The scheme provides up to five years of funding
