Mathematical Sciences Postdoctoral Fellowship

The Mathematical Sciences Postdoctoral Fellowship is a personal, career development focused award offered by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) through UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). This early career fellowship is designed for researchers who have recently started formulating their own research ideas and have not previously held significant funding. The fellowship supports ambitious and talented researchers who wish to develop, expand or establish a programme of research where the majority of the research novelty lies within mathematical sciences. Fellows must be hosted and supported by an eligible UK research organisation during their fellowship. The fellowship provides up to three years of funding and can be held part-time with proportional extension up to six years. It offers flexibility to design a programme around individual needs, with freedom to create a package that fits career ambitions, research needs, and personal and professional development requirements. Successful fellowships can include elements of community engagement and advocacy, research leadership, and drive positive change in the research environment. The scheme is committed to supporting excellent responsive, discovery-led research and follows principles of equality, diversity and inclusion, encouraging applications from diverse backgrounds including those with non-standard career paths or returning after career breaks.
