Rutherford International Fellowship Programme

Call for Proposals now open: Deadline 29 September 2017

The Rutherford International Fellowship Programme is a post-doctoral fellowship scheme of the UK Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), part-funded by the European Commission under Horizon 2020, through the Marie Skłodowska-Curie COFUND scheme.

The programme sets out to develop the next generation of leading researchers in a wide range of scientific disciplines. It is designed to attract the highest-quality researchers who will be able to take advantage of the world-class facilities and departments within STFC. These facilities include the ISIS neutron and muon source, the Diamond Light Source (DLS) and the Central Laser Facility (CLF); Particle Physics, RAL Space, Scientific Computing, Accelerator and Technology Departments, as well as the UK Astronomy Technology Centre (UKATC). Fellows can be based at any of STFC’s research sites: the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, the Daresbury Laboratory, the UK Astronomy Technology Centre in Edinburgh or the Chilbolton Observatory.

Individual researchers can apply for a fellowship by outlining a programme of work they wish to perform within an STFC host department or Diamond. Fellowships will normally be 2 years long. Researchers must have a PhD or 4 years equivalent research experience, and must not have worked or lived in the UK for more than 12 months in the past 3 years (slightly different rules apply in order to encourage researchers returning from a career break).
