The Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf invites proposals for beamtime at their centre for high-power radiation sources ELBE. The centre hosts different radiation sources which enable user groups to carry out experiments in a variety of fields from material sciences to medicine. The following radiation sources are available: •free-electron laser – FELBE; •bremsstrahlung – γELBE; •direct electron beam – ELBE; •neutron time-of-flight system – nELBE; •positron source – pELBE; •superradiant THz source – TELBE. Researchers from all over the world may apply for beamtime. It is strongly recommend to discuss the feasibility of planned experiments with the local experts prior to the submission of a proposal. Access is free of charge for all non-proprietary research. |

The Royal Society of Edinburgh, in collaboration with the Science and Technology Facilities Council, invites applications for its enterprise fellowships. These enable individuals to advance the commercialisation of existing research and outcomes or technological developments, whilst also receiving formal training in relevant business skills. The purpose is to increase exploitation of ideas with commercial potential from STFC-funded research. Fellowships may be conducted on any subject provided that the original research or technological developments draw substantially from the research that has been funded by STFC. The fellow is expected to play an important role in developing a new business, building on previously funded STFC research around a technological idea developed by the fellow. Academic and research staff, postdoctoral researchers and postgraduates may apply. Fellowships must be undertaken within a UK HEI or similar academic institution, including research organisations in receipt of STFC funding, and on conclusion of the fellowship, applicants must intend to commercialise the project within the UK. Host institutions are required to countersign the application to confirm willingness to accept the fellowship. Fellowships provide a salary within the scales for research staff in HEIs, currently in the range of £26,052 to £39,324. Travel, consumables, equipment and business consultancy support costs up to £5,000 will be reimbursed. An additional business development fund of up £5,000 may be available to an enterprise fellow on the production of a strong business case. Overhead costs are not covered and are at the expense of the host institution. Fellowships are tenable for one year, commencing on 1 October 2017. |

The Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and India's Department of Science & Technology (DST), jointly invite proposals to a new three-year research programme to improve water quality. The programme aims to improve water quality by providing a better understanding of the sources and fate of different pollutants and by supporting the development of management strategies and technologies to reduce pollution levels. This collaboration is supported by the Newton-Bhabha Fund, established by the governments of the UK and India to provide a framework for increasing research and innovation collaborations that support sustainable economic growth. Proposals are sought for collaborative research projects involving researchers from both the UK and India. Up to £4.2m is available from NERC and EPSRC for this call, with up to £450k (80% Full Economic Cost) available for the UK component of a project, and the equivalent in terms of research effort available from DST for the Indian component. For further details of the invitation and how to apply, including the Announcement of Opportunity and Notification of Intent to Submit documents, please visit the full on the NERC website. |
