Description
This fellowship is designed for early career researchers seeking to establish or expand their independent research in mathematical sciences. Offered by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), part of UKRI, the award supports discovery-led research, the development of novel mathematical and statistical tools, and interdisciplinary projects where the research novelty primarily lies within mathematical sciences. Fellows have the flexibility to design their research programme according to their career ambitions and professional development needs, with a focus on research leadership, community engagement, and fostering a positive research environment. The scheme encourages applications from those with non-traditional career paths or returning from career breaks, and supports equality, diversity, and inclusion.
