The Role

The NUAcT scheme aims to find and develop our research leaders of the future. In 2022 we are looking to appoint Fellows in a number of ‘opportunity areas’ which align closely with our research strengths, complementing our existing teams and bringing fresh perspectives to our challenges.

We are looking for early career researchers with an excellent track record for their career stage and a compelling research proposal. As a NUAcT Fellow, you will have the opportunity to lead your own research programme, build an international reputation, and contribute to multi-disciplinary collaborations across the University and beyond.

With the programme’s focus on equality, diversity and inclusion, we are building a diverse cohort of Fellows who will champion others and help us to build a more inclusive research culture across Newcastle University. Our appointments are fully flexible, which means that we can accommodate part-time working as needed.
If you share our vision to enhance our diversity and creativity and work together towards a fully inclusive and collaborative culture where everyone’s ideas thrive, we would be incredibly excited to hear from you.

The Fellowship will support you to:

  • develop your research ideas through protected research time
  • collaborate with top researchers in Newcastle and beyond
  • develop grant applications to underpin your own independent research programme
  • take part in the supervision of doctoral students
  • establish your leadership in your field
  • work with industrial partners
  • form international partnerships with overseas research groups
