Royal Society University Research Fellowships (URF)

Royal Society URFs: Overview

This scheme is for outstanding scientists who are in the early stages of their research career and have the potential to become leaders in their field. These long term fellowships provide the opportunity and freedom to build an independent research career in the UK or Republic of Ireland and pursue cutting-edge scientific research.

The next call will open in summer 2024. Please always refer to the funder guidance as the definitive source of information.
