About the INT/College Junior Research Fellowship Programme
NEW: The Trustees have also agreed to offer one or two awards per annum to enable eligible colleges to appoint to non-stipendiary fellowships post-doctoral researchers holding fully funded fellowships in the sciences.
Please note:
- Newton Trust JRF awards are made to Colleges, and are not made direct to the Fellow subsequently selected by the College;
- the Isaac Newton Trust does not accept applications direct from prospective JRFs;
- the Trust plays no part in the selection of Fellows; the selection is made by the College advertising the post.
What the Trust provides:
- eligible Colleges whose applications for stipendiary awards are successful will be offered a flat-rate contribution of £15,000 per annum towards a Junior Research Fellowship, for up to three years;
- Colleges with non-standard alumni bases may apply for a discretionary additional grant of £5,000 per annum;
- stipendiary fellowships should be advertised in the range of subjects falling within the general area of the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences.
- for non-stipendiary fellowships in sciences, the Trust offers a flat rate of £3,000 per annum towards the costs associated with a fellowship.
