The Royal Society Wolfson Fellowships programme will enable UK Universities and Research Institutions to attract internationally outstanding leading researchers who are at the peak of their career as well as those established researchers whose career is on a steep upward trajectory to the UK’s scientific community, through one of two complementary routes:
- A five-year Royal Society Wolfson Fellowship, which will focus entirely on recruitment, enabling UK institutions to enhance their offering with a £300,000 fellowship award to international research leaders wishing to relocate to the UK. The Royal Society Wolfson Fellowships will enable UK Universities and not-for- profit Research Institutions to attract and recruit internationally outstanding leading researchers (and their teams) to their organisation.
- A new Visiting Fellowship strand, which will allow excellent international researchers a flexible sabbatical period at a UK university or research institution with an award of up to £125,000, to build and develop international collaborations and networks with the host UK university or research institution. The fellowship can be held full time for 1 year or flexibly over 2 years. Visiting Fellow alumni will also be welcome to apply for longer term support provided by the Royal Society Wolfson Fellowship.
The application round will open on 26th January and the deadline for applications is 23rd March 2022 3PM UK Time.
