NB No closing date, applications can be made at any time. The New Investigator Award scheme is to support individuals who have recently acquired their first academic lectureship position, have not previously led an academic research group or been the recipient of a significant grant (usually defined as those which included PDRA time, capital equipment or were in excess of £100,000 (FEC)). |

NB No Closing date apply at any time. The Science and Technology Facilities Council invites applications for business support from the ESA business incubation centre – Harwell campus. This offers start-up companies an incubation package that enables them to exploit the scientific excellence and opportunities available at the Harwell campus, including one-to-one coaching and peer support, a programme of business support workshops and access to the STFC’s scientific and technical expertise, equipment and facilities. Areas where this can be accessed include: •electrical engineering, including control systems, data systems, electromagnetics and space environment, power and energy conversion, and payload systems; •mechanical engineering, including thermal structures, mechatronics and optics, and propulsion and aerothermodynamics; •product assurance and safety, including, components, materials and processes, quality, dependability and safety, and requirements and standards; •systems and software, including software systems, and systems and engineering support. |

The Daphne Jackson Trust and the National Physical Laboratory invite applications for their sponsored fellowship. This enables professional scientists, engineers, technologists and mathematicians, returning to their careers, to balance an individually tailored retraining programme at the National Physical Laboratory. Fellowships consist of a research project and at least 100 hours of retraining per year. Applicants must have been on a career break for at least two years for family, caring or health reasons, and must hold a good first degree in a science, technology, engineering or mathematics subject, and hold a PhD degree or at least three years of research experience prior to the career break. They must be resident in the UK with the right to remain indefinitely. Fellowships are part-time over two years. |

The Simons Foundation鈥檚 Mathematics and Physical Sciences division is currently soliciting proposals for its Simons Symposia series, which brings together mathematicians, theoretical physicists and theoretical computer scientists to interact and collaborate in a series of three symposia, held every second year and focusing on one topic or a tightly connected group of topics. The first meetings in the new set of series will start in the winter or spring of 2019. The foundation expects to fund up to three series to start in 2019. Format of a Symposium SeriesAn individual symposium series consists of up to three weeklong meetings on one topic or a tightly connected group of topics. A symposium series is initially approved for one year and renewed for up to two more meetings if successful. If the first meeting in the series occurs in year N, then subsequent meetings would occur in years N+2 and N+4. Each symposium in the series may have up to 23 participants, including its organizing committee (two to four leaders in a field). It will have a focused theme and a schedule that leaves plenty of time for collaboration and open-ended discussion. In some areas, a tight focus on a new research development or a specific research problem would be appropriate; in others, a symposium might help set an agenda for the field. Please see for reference. Participation in a symposium is by invitation only. The Simons Foundation will issue invitations upon the recommendation of the organizers. The foundation will also make travel arrangements for all symposium participants and will provide support at the conference site. All expenses, including travel, lodging and meals, will be paid by the foundation. |
