STFC fellowships: rules and regulations

How to apply

Applications for a STFC fellowship must be submitted using the Je-S system (link opens in a new window). Applicants may submit only one application to one institution.

Together with your application (proforma), you will need to include the following pdf attachments, which must be submitted in 11 point Arial font, and have a minimum 2cm margin:

• curriculum vitae of a maximum of two sides of A4 using our template (Word document - 124kB - link opens in a new window)
  
  
• current list of publications
  
  
• letter of support (personal reference) from the nominated reviewer of a maximum of two sides of A4
  
  
• Case for Support up to a maximum length of three sides of A4 paper including diagrams and tables (NB: The three sides limit will be strictly enforced by STFC. If a proposal exceeds the limit, its first three A4 sides only will be considered)
  
  
• up to two hundred words on outreach (mandatory) and up to two hundred words on knowledge exchange, if appropriate

The outreach attachment should outline any activities already undertaken, and give the plans you have for communicating information about your research to the wider public, by means for example, of press releases; work with local media; participation in public events (e.g. lectures); links with MPs (or elected members of devolved administrations); training in public communications or media awareness and work with teachers and schools.

For Knowledge Exchange, STFC is looking for the benefits to the wider economy for enhanced productivity and economic growth that may arise from the research of the fellowship. Applicants should provide evidence of the potential for Knowledge Exchange with other academic disciplines and with industrial, commercial and public sector organisations.
