Apply for a University Research Fellowship
17 January 2023
The University Research Fellowships scheme to support and develop research leadership in the arts, humanities and social sciences is now open for new applications.
The University Committee for Research & Innovation is supporting up to five University Research Fellowships, providing £10,000 to successful applicants to cover teaching replacement costs and research expenses.
Who is eligible?
University Research Fellowships support researchers in the arts, humanities, and social sciences across the four University research themes: Agriculture, Food and Health; Environment; Heritage and Creativity; and Prosperity and Resilience.
The Fellowships will support the development of research leaders at any stage of their career, and the projects should therefore show a demonstrable step-change in terms of significance and ambition, appropriate to the applicant's career stage.
If you hold an active internal University Fellowships or Research Endowment Trust Fund Open Call awards, you will not be eligible to apply until any current awards are successfully completed.
What will I receive?
Successful applicants will get £10,000 in funding and be supported to develop research leadership through mentoring and training, where appropriate.
Fellowships will be for the duration of one year. They can be taken by part-time staff on a fractional basis over two years.
How to apply
More details including the full criteria can be found on the application form.
Please note that application is by form only. The deadline for submission of applications to researchdeansoffice@reading.ac.uk is Friday 17 March.
