Mathematical Sciences Open and Open Plus Fellowship

The Mathematical Sciences Open and Open Plus Fellowship is a personal, career development focused award offered by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). These prestigious fellowships support ambitious and talented researchers and technical professionals who wish to develop, expand or establish a programme of research in mathematical sciences. Fellowships can be up to five years long and may be held part time. Applicants must have either a PhD and some years of additional research experience, or more than four years' experience in a relevant field by the start of the fellowship. The fellowship must focus on research where the majority of the research novelty lies within EPSRC's mathematical sciences remit. Open plus fellowships have an additional focus on enhancing the research environment and culture, where fellows allocate 20% to 50% of their time to create positive change in the research community by championing topics such as equality, diversity and inclusion, responsible research and innovation, public engagement, or policy aspects of their research. Fellows must be hosted and supported by an eligible UK research organisation during their fellowship.
