Newton International Fellowship – Call now open for Switzerland
Applications are open for the Newton Interantional Fellowships to applicants from Switzerland. This fellowship was made possible for Switzerland-based researchers through the new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for collaboration on reserach and innovation between the UK and Switzerland.
The fellowship provides 3 years of funding to international researchers who will conduct their research in a UK host organisation (university or research institute). The researcher must have no more than seven years post-doctoral experience, and the research must fall within the Royal Society’s remit of natural sciences.
Royal Society Newton International Fellows will also be eligible to receive alumni follow-on funding for five consecutive years following the tenure of their Fellowship when they leave the UK to support continued networking activities with UK-based researchers.
To be eligible, you must:
- have a PhD, or will have a PhD by the time the funding starts
- have no more than seven years of active full time postdoctoral experience at the time of application (discounting career breaks, but including teaching experience and/or time spent in industry on research)
- be working outside the UK
- not hold UK citizenship
- be competent in oral and written English
Application Deadline is March 28, 2023. For more information, please refer to this website.
