As academics progress through their careers from postdoctoral positions into more senior roles, their workload evolves to include more teaching and administrative responsibilities. As a result, they are left with less time to dedicate to research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The RAEng\/Leverhulme Trust Research Fellowships aim to address this by allowing the academics to concentrate on full-time research and be relieved of teaching and administrative responsibilities. The purpose of the Fellowships is to cover the salary costs of a replacement academic who will take over the awardee\u2019s teaching and administration duties for up to one year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fellowships are funded by the kind support of The Leverhulme Trust<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
