Applicants must have completed their PhD but have no more than six years of research experience after receipt of their PhD award. Individuals who hold a permanent post in a university or non-profit organisation may not apply. Applicants can be of any nationality but the fellowship must be held at a UK university or not-for-profit research organisation. Fellowships last for five years. Funding covers 80 per cent of the basic salary costs up to £40,681 in the first year, as well as research expenses worth up to £13,000 for the first year and up to £11,000 annually thereafter.
