Funding
The Durham International Fellowships for Research and Enterprise Junior Research Fellowship is aimed at researchers with significant postdoctoral experience and exceptional recent doctorands. Deadline to apply is December 2, 2016, at midnight (UK time).
The Durham International Fellowships for Research and Enterprise Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) scheme is designed to attract the most talented researchers in Europe and beyond and build international networks of scholars with a common passion for the deepest theoretical questions and most pressing practical problems facing humanity.
The JRF scheme is aimed at researchers with significant postdoctoral experience, but recent doctorands of exceptional ability and researchers who have followed non-traditional academic career paths (such as in public corporations, NGOs, or industry) are also encouraged to apply. JRFs will pursue new research ideas of their own design, undertaken in collaboration with academic researchers at Durham University.
Applicants are encouraged to take advantage of the diverse spectrum of opportunities offered by the Institutes at Durham, which span the Sciences, Social Sciences, and Humanities, and link their proposals to research programs of the Institutes and their constituent research centers. These Institutes are listed below. Applicants may, however, submit a research proposal that is independent of the Institutes or the Durham Business School, provided that they have a coherent and cogent reason why this research should be conducted in Durham: such 'free-standing' Junior Fellows will be affiliated to the Institute of Advanced Study.
- Biophysical Sciences Institute (BSI)
- Durham University Business School (DUBS)
- Durham Energy Institute (DEI)
- Durham Global Security Institute (DGSI)
- Institute of Advanced Study (IAS)
- Institute of Advanced Research Computing (iARC)
- Institute of Computational Cosmology (ICC)
- Institute of Hazard, Risk and Resilience (IHRR)
- Institute of Medieval and Early Modern Studies (IMEMS)
- Institute of Particle Physics Phenomenology (IPPP)
- Wolfson Research Institute (WRI)
Applications are also welcome from individuals wishing to collaborate on a research project associated with other research groups or Research Centers at Durham University.
