The Royal Society‘s Leverhulme Trust Senior Research Fellowship aims seeks to provide opportunities for experienced senior and mid-career researchers to focus on full-time research for up to one year, by relieving them of all teaching, administrative and pastoral care duties during that period. Preference will be given to candidates who, as well as demonstrating scientific excellence, can show that such relief is particularly needed and timely. Applications from mid-career candidates are particularly encouraged.
The award lasts between one term and one academic year.
Funds can cover:
- Salary cost of a teaching replacement (up to the equivalent of the minimum point on the lectureship scale as paid by the host university)
- Research expenses up to a maximum of £5,000 to cover the costs of consumables, equipment and travel
