NERC's Policy Placement Fellowship Scheme
This p lacement scheme allows researchers and other staff involved in environmental science research to work closely with policymakers within government and other public and third sector organisations in the UK. The scheme also allows placements of government and third sector policymakers to work within NERC head office and research centres.
Fellowship policy placements are organised by NERC in collaboration with a policy-making body, for example a government department, devolved administration or agency, e.g. the Welsh Government, the Scottish Government, GO-Science, the Environment Agency, etc. The applicant applies for the position, which will be for a fixed term and on a specified topic. The placement is jointly funded by NERC and the partner organisation on a 50:50 basis, with the exception of NGOs, who are asked to provide 25% of the funding. Successful applicants will be awarded a NERC grant. During the placement, the fellow will remain employed by her/his institution.
There are no current call opportunities.
