New Round of Newton Fellowships

A new round of Newton Fellowships - an initiative 
to fund research collaborations and improve links 
between UK and overseas researchers - has opened. 
The Newton International Fellowships are funded 
by the British Academy, the Royal Academy of 
Engineering and the Royal Society and aim to 
attract the most promising post-doctoral 
researchers working overseas in the fields of 
humanities, engineering, natural and social 
sciences. The Fellowships enable researchers to 
work for two years with a UK research 
institution, thus establishing long-term international collaborations.

The funding will be distributed in the form of 50 
research fellowships, awarded annually, each 
providing support of up to £100,000 for a two 
year placement.  The scheme is open to 
post-doctoral (and equivalent) early-career 
researchers working outside the UK who do not hold UK citizenship.

The closing date for applications is Monday, 12 January 2009.
