Recently graduated or final-stage outstanding PhD researchers who have been funded fully or in part by the EPSRC for their research degree are invited to apply for the 2022 round of EPSRC Doctoral Prize Fellowships. The scheme offers an exciting and supportive environment to launch a research career at the University of Bristol.
The EPSRC Doctoral Prize Fellowship scheme is a unique opportunity for recent EPSRC-funded PhD graduates (or those who will have submitted their thesis by the application deadline) to launch their research careers in a supportive environment at the University of Bristol. This two-year fully funded fellowship supports recent PhD graduates’ transition into early career research.
Doctoral Prize Fellows propose their own bespoke programme to conduct innovative, ground-breaking research at the frontiers of these broad disciplines. New fellows will follow in the footsteps of 24 Doctoral Prize Fellows who have gone before them at Bristol, working in the fields of Engineering, Life Sciences, and Science.
The EPSRC Doctoral Prize Fellowship enriches the University’s research community by bringing in some of the most exciting newly established researchers working at the cutting edge of research within a broad spectrum of EPSRC research themes. Bristol’s innovative and interdisciplinary research culture provides a stimulating environment for these fellows to grow into leaders in their fields and to establish their future career paths.
Further benefits of the Doctoral Prize Fellowship include:
-
The opportunity to work within world-class research groups at the University of Bristol
-
An accelerated career towards independent research
-
Leadership roles and opportunities within the wider research community at Bristol
-
The chance to create a platform for a permanent academic post or further prestigious externally funded fellowship.
