UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) has launched a call for applications for Round 8 of the Future Leaders Fellowship Scheme.
The Future Leaders Fellowship Scheme is a cross-council scheme that supports early career researchers, with outstanding potential, to tackle challenging research and develop their own careers. Funding is available for up to seven years, on a 4(+3) basis, allowing long term flexible funding to support adventurous and ambitious programmes. There are no eligibility rules based on years since PhD or whether the applicant currently holds an open-ended academic position. The UKRI’s Scheme Guidance for Future Leaders Fellowships can be found here. Further information can be found on the UKRI's website.
Oxford is capped at submitting ten applications therefore an internal coordinated bids process is being run to select the applications to put forward.
Applicants are invited to submit Expressions of Interest before 4.00pm on Monday 24 April 2023.
• Internal applicants must submit their EoI via IRAMS.
• External applicants must submit their EoI via email to the appropriate academic department for Faculty.
Guidance on the internal application process, and materials to submit in support of an Expression of Interest, is below.
