STFC fellowships: rules and regulations

Equality of opportunity

STFC seeks to employ a workforce which reflects and draws upon the talents of a diverse community, because it values the individual contribution of people regardless of disability, race, ethnic origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation, marital status or age. To this end, all decisions related to employment and advancement are made solely on the basis of the individual's ability, qualifications and fitness for the available work.

STFC seeks to reflect its equality of opportunity policy in the arrangements and conditions which apply to the staff posts, fellowships and postgraduate studentships it funds through research grants and awards.

In order to ensure that this policy is put into practice, STFC:

• will review objectives for equality of opportunity as part of the annual business planning process and report on progress in its annual report
  
  
• may collect and analyse data on the gender, ethnic origin and age of STFC supported Fellows to monitor the effectiveness of its policies and initiatives

In fulfilling its mission to promote the public understanding of science, engineering and technology, STFC will aim to involve and communicate with all sections of the community.
