4. The benefits Freedom to concentrate on basic research in any field of engineering. Time to establish a track record in the field. The services of a mentor (a Fellow of The Academy) to offer advice and to facilitate industrial links as the research progresses. Restrictions of your teaching and administrative duties.

5. Duration 5-year full-time (part-time possible) Eligibility Any stage from PhD completion to 3 years as postdoc. No nationality requirements Must be held at a UK Institution Restrictions Only 2-3 applications per institution Mechanical (materials, medical, aerodynamics, acoustics and biomedical engineering) Civil Electrical and Electronic Chemical ICT (telecommunications, networks and systems, computing and information, photonics)
