The Newton International Fellowship scheme, run by The British Academy, The Royal Academy of Engineering and the Royal Society, aims to attract the world’s best postdoctoral researchers to the UK.

 

The two-year Fellowships cover the broad range of the natural and social sciences, engineering and the humanities. The Fellowships include £24,000 per annum to cover subsistence and £8,000 to cover research expenses, plus a one-off relocation allowance of £2,000.

 

Funding, worth £6,000 per year for ten years after the Fellowship ends, will support follow-on activities to enable Newton Fellows to build long –term links with the UK.

 

In addition, Newton fellows will also become members of the international alumni scheme run by Research Councils UK.

 

The deadline for applications is Monday 4 August 2008.
