Science and Engineering Scholarships and Fellowships Blog

The Newton International Fellowship scheme will select the very best early stage post-doctoral researchers from all over the world, and offer support for two years at UK research institutions. The British Academy, The Royal Academy of Engineering and the Royal Society are the sponsor of the fellowships.

The long-term aim of the fellowship is to build a global pool of research leaders and encourage long-term international collaboration with the UK.

The Fellowships cover the broad range of natural and social sciences, engineering and the humanities. 50 fellowships are awarded each year. They provide grants of £24,000 per annum to cover subsistence and £8,000 to cover research expenses, plus a one-off relocation allowance of £2,000. As part of the scheme, all Newton Fellows who remain in research will be granted a 10 year follow-up funding package worth £6,000 per annum.
