Newton International Postdoctoral Fellowships (UK)
Newton International Postdoctoral Fellowships (UK)
The Newton International Fellowship scheme will select the very best early stage post-doctoral researchers from all over the world, and offer support for two years at UK research institutions.
Deadline: 4 Aug 2008
General Description
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 Newton International Fellowships scheme is run by The British Academy, The Royal Academy of Engineering and the Royal Society.
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.
Eligibility Criteria
Applicants should have completed a PhD and have up to six years’ postdoctoral
experience, or equivalent experience at a comparable level.
Applicants in the final stages of their PhD will be accepted, provided that the PhD will be completed before the start date of the Fellowship. Confirmation of award of the PhD will be required before any Fellowship award is confirmed.
Applicants should be working outside the UK and should not hold UK citizenship at the time of application. Researchers already based in the UK are not eligible to apply.
Contact between the Sponsor and Applicant prior to the application is essential. This contact should lead to a clearly defined and mutually-beneficial research project proposal. Please note that the three implementing academies will not be able to assist in locating a UK Sponsor.
Applicants must be competent in oral and written English. The UK Sponsor must
confirm their competency on the application form.
Application Procedure
Applications are made online through e-GAP2, an electronic application system run by the Royal Society. You must have a strong research project and a UK Sponsor.
e-GAP2 will accept applications from 24 June to 4 August 2008.

The Newton International Fellowships
The Newton International Fellowships
A new multi-million pound initiative to fund research collaborations and improve links between UK and overseas researchers has been launched.
The Newton International Fellowships aim to attract the most promising, early stage, post-doctoral researchers working overseas, who do not hold UK citizenship, in the fields of humanities, engineering, natural and social sciences.
The scheme provides funding to successful candidates for up to 2 years to work with research groups at a UK research Institution and to establish long term international collaborations.
The Fellowships, and the linked alumni association, are an initiative of the UK's leading research academies - the British Academy, The Royal Academy of Engineering and the Royal Society - and Research Councils UK (RCUK).
The funding will be distributed in the form of 50 research fellowships per round of applications. Successful candidates will receive an annual subsistence of £24,000, up to £8,000 for research expenses, and a one-off payment of £2,000 for relocation.
It is hoped that the collaborations and links formed during the course of the fellowship will continue to benefit Newton Fellows throughout their careers. To facilitate this, former Fellows will be eligible for follow-on funding of up to £6,000 per year, for up to ten years, to help develop lasting international networks with the UK.
Former Newton Fellows will also become members of the UK International Fellowship Association managed by RCUK, which aims to build a network of overseas researchers, help them maintain contact with the UK and provide networking opportunities to encourage new collaborations.
Applications for Newton International Fellowships are invited for Fellowships starting in 2009. The deadline for applications is Monday 4 August 2008.
For more information on the Newton International Fellowship Scheme please go to www.newtonfellowships.org or email any enquiries to info@newtonfellowships.org.
Please print out the attached postcard and display it on your department notice board. Please feel free to send this message to any colleagues who may be interested in applying for a Newton International Fellowship. I apologise in advance for any multiple postings.
