Before you express interest, please do the following two things:

1. Read the funder guidance and particularly the eligibility criteria to ensure you will be able to submit a proposal if you are selected. Links to funder guidance are given in the Expression of Interest form – note that this may be to last year's call if this year's call has not yet been formally announced - please be aware that guidance may change between rounds.
2. Speak to a member of academic staff in the department where you intend to be hosted to ensure you have a supportive mentor. Click here to view academic departments at Northumbria. 

If you are interested in more than one fellowship, please start a new form for each opportunity. You will get the option to submit another response at the end.

At the end of the form you are asked to submit your CV to an email address - you will only need to do this once regardless of how many times you complete the form.

Please get in touch with rm.research.development@northumbria.ac.uk if you have any questions about the schemes above or the form.
