Mathematical Sciences Early Independence Fellowship

Open UKRI funding opportunity · Fellowship. Open with no closing date. Opportunity page: https://www.ukri.org/opportunity/mathematical-sciences-early-independence-fellowship/

Apply for an early independence fellowship to support your career transition within the Fellowship investment framework. Most of your project’s research novelty must be in EPSRC’s mathematical sciences remit.

You must have:

- a PhD and postdoctoral experience

- plans for establishing independence in your own research niche

You must be based at a UK research organisation eligible for EPSRC funding.

The full economic cost (FEC) of your project can be up to £1,250,000. EPSRC will fund 80% of the FEC.

Projects are for up to five years and may be held part-time.

Fellowships with a plus element have an additional focus on enhancing research environment and culture.

What we're looking for Aim

The aim of the fellowship is to support ambitious and talented researchers in mathematical sciences who have gained a higher research degree and have evidence of career consolidation and productivity across past appointments to:

- lead their own research plans to establish their own research niche

- start to build their own research team

- make the first step-change towards establishing themselves as a leading independent researcher

Scope

Your fellowship must focus on research where the majority of the research novelty lies within our mathematical sciences remit. For more information on the scope of mathematical science at Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), please see Mathematical Sciences theme.

Applications where the majority of the research is within the remits of other themes in EPSRC or other research councils will be rejected.

For interdisciplinary projects, this funding opportunity is open for applications for development of novel mathematical and statistical tools to applications. This could include novel combinations of existing mathematical techniques.…
