Early Career Matched Funding
The Isaac Newton Trust is proud to be able to provide partial salary support for post-doctoral researchers who have secured Early Career Fellowships in a number of prestigious competitions. Foremost among these awards are:
- INT Academic Career Development Fellowships in Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences
- Leverhulme Early Career Fellowships
- INT/College Junior Research Fellowships (up to 2 Stipendiary and 2 Non-Stipendiary a year)
Other Fellowship support from INT
Early Career Researchers holding an offer of a competitively awarded fellowship, or applying for one of these, who need additional funding may also apply under the Fellowship Support scheme.
The Isaac Newton Trust also prioritises early career researchers through support for Post Doctoral Research Associates through its own Research Grants, and through research programmes jointly funded with the Schools of the University (in sciences, these are for newly-appointed lecturers and equivalent staff only).
Please note that the INT cannot contribute to match-funding for Wellcome Trust Interdisciplinary Junior Fellowships for which the matching funds must come from the host department.
In addition to providing the necessary financial support, the Trust aims to provide a sense of belonging to a wider group of Cambridge researchers through the INT Fellows’ Association.
