[Angela Jancius]

The Newton International Fellowship

Are you at the beginning of your research career - with the potential to be 
world-class?
Is your research in the natural or social sciences, engineering or 
humanities?
Do you want to build and maintain links with leading researchers in the UK?

Then apply now for a Newton International Fellowship.

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.

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.
