The International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) and Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), part of UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) is offering Collaborative Research Fellowships programme for three years to support promising early career researchers to deliver challenging research and support the development of long-term collaborative working relationships between the UK and IIASA research communities.
About the fellowship:
This fellowship programme has been developed by NERC and IIASA to:
- support the development of skills for early career environmental scientists in a subset of systems analysis and applied statistics in topics of relevance to policy
- build and foster sustainable collaborative interdisciplinary relationships between the UK and IIASA research communities
- develop and support capacity building of interdisciplinary systems researchers that could establish themselves as the next generation of research leaders working across both NERC and IIASA remits.
- Fellows will be expected to spend their time equally between their UK research organisation and IIASA over the lifetime of their award.
- Fellows are to be supported in these activities by a senior researcher who will act as both mentor to the fellow and help to facilitate network-building activities.
Funding: £1 million is available to support research fellowships through this call.
Starting date: from March 2020 to June 2020
Duration: 03 years; full-time
Requirements:
- All fellowships may be held full or part-time, and NERC welcomes applications from candidates who wish to work on a part-time / flexible basis.
- The duration of the fellowship award will be adjusted to accommodate any extensions required as a result of any periods of part-time working.
- Applicants are expected to hold a doctorate by the start date of the fellowship or be able to demonstrate equivalent research experience and/or training.
