The Royal Society, in partnership with the Academy of Medical Sciences and the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy invite applications for their Newton advanced fellowships – Mexico, Brazil and China. This provides established international researchers with an opportunity to develop the research strengths and capabilities of their research group through training, collaboration and reciprocal visits with a partner in the UK. This call aims to:

•support the development of a well-trained research community who can contribute to poverty alleviation by transferring new skills and creating new knowledge which can lead to changes in the wellbeing of communities and increased economic benefits;

•strengthen research excellence in partner countries by supporting promising independent, early-career scientists and their research groups and networks to develop their research through training, collaboration, reciprocal visits and the transfer of knowledge and skills from the UK;

•establish long-term links between the best research groups and networks in partner countries and the UK to ensure that improvements in research capacity are sustainable in the longer term, such long-term links will also benefit the UK, securing our position with partner countries as the scientific partner of choice.

Applicants must have a PhD or equivalent research experience and hold a permanent or fixed-term contract in an eligible university or research institute, which must span the duration of the project. Applicants should have no more than 15 years of postdoctoral experience. Collaborations should focus on a single project involving an overseas-based scientist who will act as a lead applicant and a UK-based scientist who will act as a co-applicant.

Awards are worth up to £37,000 per year for up to three years

**Internal selection deadline 17th July 2017. New application deadline 6th September** The RAEng Research Fellowships are designed to promote excellence in engineering. They provide support for high-quality engineers and encourage them to develop successful academic research careers. Limited number of applications per University (3) please discuss with HOD. Applications will be reviewed internally - please use the application form to submit by 17th Jluy.

Applications are welcomed from outstanding early career researchers who are about to finish their PhD or have been awarded their PhD in the last four years. The scheme provides funding for five years to encourage the best researchers to remain in the academic engineering sector. All applicants will need to have identified and be actively supported by a UK higher education host institution.

• The closing date is now 4pm on Wednesday 6 September not Monday 4 September.

• Every university can now submit three applications instead of two applications. The two exceptions remain the same as before, so with exception one in place, universities could submit four applications.

Please note:

• Universities should still only submit applications if they are considered high quality within their internal ranking system.

• There is only ONE application stage this year. ALL information will need to be submitted by the closing date.

• There is TWO review stages before candidates reach the interviews. A generalist review followed by a Sift Panel and then the expert review followed by a Sift Panel.

This year they are offering additional Development Research Fellowships for research aligned to Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF). See scheme details and eligibility below.

Internal Selection Process

91福利 is limited to 2 or 3 submissions (depending on diversity of applicants). Therefore we will be running an internal selection process.

Applicants must send the following documents to researchstrategydev@warwick.ac.uk by 17 July 2017 using “RAEng Fellowship” as subject.

• 2 page application form

• 2 page CV

Applicants from outside 91福利 are also welcome.

A selection panel will review internal applicants on: w/c 26 July 2017 all applicants will be informed ASAP after that. If there any further questions please contact R.Singleton-Escofet@warwick.ac.uk.

Scheme information

The RAEng Research Fellowships are designed to promote excellence in engineering. They provide support for high-quality early career engineers to encourage them to develop successful academic research careers.

The RAEng is particularly keen to encourage applications from strong candidates who are considered to belong to a group that is persistently underrepresented within the engineering profession (eg gender or ethnicity).

Eligibility: Applications are welcomed from outstanding early career engineering researchers who are about to finish their PhD or have up to four years postdoctoral research experience prior to 4 September 2017 (maternity/paternity leave or other extenuating circumstances can be taken into consideration).

The scheme provides funding for five years to encourage the best researchers to remain in the academic engineering sector. In addition to the direct financial support, the scheme offers:

• freedom to concentrate on basic research in any field of engineering

• time to establish a track record in the field

• the services of a mentor (a fellow of the Academy) to offer advice and to facilitate the formation of industrial links

• restrictions of teaching and administrative duties

Further information, including full eligibility criteria and guidance notes, can be found .

The Academy of Medical Sciences is delighted to be working with the British Academy, the Royal Academy of Engineering and the Royal Society to offer GCRF Networking Grants, available through the GCRF, which is part of the UK’s Official Development Assistance (ODA). The is an initiative that aims to support cutting-edge interdisciplinary research that addresses the global issues faced by developing countries. The GCRF is administered through 17 delivery partners including the Research Councils, the UK National Academies, the UK Space Agency and funding bodies.The awards provide up to £25,000 to support international networking events aimed at addressing global challenges and promoting interdisciplinary collaborations between researchers in developing countries and researchers in the UK.
