2025 Senior Research Fellowships

The Senior Research Fellowship scheme is designed to relieve scientists of all teaching and administrative duties, allowing them one year (or six month to one year in the case of Senior Medical Research Fellowship) to concentrate full-time on their research. The award covers the actual salary costs of a younger academic employed to take over the fellow’s duties for the period of the fellowship.

For more details of this and other requirements, please see the notes for applicants.
