The Royal Academy of Engineering invites applications for its distinguished visiting fellowships. These enable an academic engineering department in a UK university to be a host for up to a month to an expert from an overseas academic centre of excellence. Activities may include: •working collaboratively on joint papers and research proposals to tackle ambitious research problems or challenges, both within the host department and also through the involvement of other UK universities and UK industries; •delivering lectures, presentations, seminars, demonstrations, and expert workshops to graduates, undergraduates, members of the host faculty and academics from other UK institutions; •guiding the design and delivery of new teaching modules or programmes; •establishing project consortia to work collaboratively on ambitious joint research projects. Applications are accepted from academics who are employed by the UK host university. The visitor must be currently employed by a non-UK overseas academic centre of excellence in engineering, which includes governmental research organisations. Applicants from commercial centres of excellence are not eligible. Fellowships are worth up to £6,000 each, and include the cost of one return air fare, accommodation and a daily allowance to cover incidental expenses. All visits must take place between 1 August 2017 and 31 December 2017. |
