Undertaking research at NRI through the Newton International Fellowships scheme.

An opportunity exists to undertake research at NRI through funding from The Newton International Fellowships scheme, run by The British Academy, The Royal Academy of Engineering and the Royal Society.

 

The long-term aim of the scheme is to build a global pool of research leaders and encourage long-term international collaboration with the UK.

 

The Fellowships cover the broad range of natural and social sciences, engineering and the humanities.

 

They provide grants of £24,000 per annum to cover subsistence and £8,000 to cover research expenses, plus a one-off relocation allowance of £2,000. As part of the scheme, all Newton Fellows who remain in research will be granted a 10 year follow-up funding package worth £6,000 per annum.

 

If you would like to take advantage of this scheme now or at a later date please contact Professor Andrew Westby (a.westby@gre.ac.uk)
