Member Institutes of the School of Advanced Study, including the Institute of Classical Studies, are inviting proposals from suitably qualified applicants for the seventh round of the UKRI Future Leaders Fellowships scheme.

This scheme is for early career researchers and innovators who are transitioning to or establishing independence, or who may be developing their own original and ambitious plans within a commercial setting.

You do not need to hold a PhD and there are no eligibility rules based on the number of years since your PhD. However, if you do not hold a PhD, you must be able to demonstrate equivalent research or innovation experience or training.

There are no eligibility rules based on whether you currently hold a permanent or open-ended academic position or job role.

There is no minimum or maximum award value.

Your project can last for up to four years, with the option to apply to renew for a further three years.

Further details can be found here.

Equality, diversity and inclusion

We are committed to supporting, developing, and promoting equality and diversity in all practices and activities, establishing an inclusive culture free from discrimination, and based upon the values of dignity, courtesy, and respect.
