Internal Research Fellowship/Associateship

Up to 3 months teaching replacement to enable the initiation of a project intended to compete for external funding.

This may be a pilot or proof-of-concept project with the potential to be scaled up for external funding. The Fellowship award carries backfill funding for the home department, a £2k research support allowance and SCI administrative support to enable the delivery of the fellowship project. The Fellow will be invited to lead a panel, workshop or network event to showcase their research plans and to contribute to SCI’s research communications via social media.

Applicants should submit a 1000-word research proposal supported by an indicative budget for the research support allowance together with a statement of support from the Departmental DORI.

The deadline for applications is Monday 24 February 2025. Applications will be reviewed by the SCI academic directors & the Faculty APVC Research & Impact.
