Application Registration

Applications are invited from candidates who hold, or are close to completion of, a doctorate; successful candidates who have not formally submitted their doctoral thesis at the time of application will be expected to do so before taking up the post. All successful candidates will already have demonstrated outstanding promise in their research.

Those who formally submitted their doctoral thesis for viva voce examination before 1 July 2023 are not eligible unless they have since had a career break (e.g. a period of parental leave, family commitments, or illness) or there are other exceptional circumstances. No applicant who has been appointed to a permanent academic post in an institution of higher education at any time in their career will be eligible.

Please view the Eligibility Requirements for further details. The Fellowship Administrator is unable to answer queries relating to your eligibility; please follow the instructions.

By registering, you state your interest in applying for a Fellowship by Examination. You will be asked to provide some basic contact details and will be emailed instructions which enable you to access the application system.
