UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and FAPESP’s lead agency agreement allows UKRI to assess joint applications from eligible UK and Brazil-based researchers from the state of São Paulo on behalf of both organisations.
UKRI and FAPESP will co-fund applications submitted to responsive mode funding opportunities via selected funding opportunities.
You can apply if you are a postdoctoral researcher working in theoretical physics or related areas of mathematics and computer science.
Each year we aim to fund up to 10 of the next generation’s visionary scientists. Fellowships can last for up to four years and the funding you can receive varies widely.
These fellowships are for those looking to return to a research career after a break. Fellowships combine a personalised retraining programme with a challenging research project. They are flexible, usually lasting two years at 0.5 full-time equivalent, although some UKRI funders may award longer.
Institutions can apply for funding to support a knowledge exchange and commercialisation professional for up to four years, to cultivate opportunities to turn STFC-funded research into commercial products and services or promote opportunities arising out of the research to other users. We will fund 40% of the full economic costs. Host institutions are expected to make a financial contribution to demonstrate their support.
You can apply for this bursary if you are a researcher looking to return to an academic research career after a break of two or more years.
