Our purpose is to inspire excellence, to achieve the remarkable and build an inclusive world. Started in 2022 in celebration of our 70th anniversary, the Anniversary Fellowship scheme offers an exciting opportunity for researchers to join us.
If you want to tackle adventurous and novel research challenges, we'd like to hear from you.
We aim to foster cutting-edge interdisciplinary research in a world-class research environment and are looking to attract a diverse cohort of researchers to nurture research excellence and innovation. We support Anniversary Fellows to achieve their research and other career aspirations.
As an Anniversary Fellow you will be on a clear pathway to building an excellent track-record of research, innovation and impact. You will have a vision for future leadership, complement and extend research within the University and forge new areas of focus. The scheme builds in a focus on research and innovation; with time, the Fellows will take up the full range of core academic activities, including teaching and academic leadership.

Our scheme is open to researchers with the potential to develop into research leaders in their field.

The scheme is open to both UK and international candidates.
You'll be assessed on your quality, potential, trajectory and track record, relative to your career stage.
