Join us at Southampton
Are you an independent researcher looking to tackle some of society’s biggest challenges? We are on the lookout for the next generation of rising stars to join us at Southampton and make big career strides.
Southampton has an excellent track record in hosting and supporting externally-funded research fellowships at all levels, nurturing fellows to the next stage in their academic and research careers.
A fellowship at Southampton can provide you with the opportunity to have focused time to conduct independent research and enable you to establish your academic career in a vibrant, inclusive, research-intensive environment with mentoring from world leaders.
Why Southampton?
It is important to think carefully about your choice of host institution and where you will have the best opportunity to develop your career. You will also need to justify your choice of host institution to your fellowship reviewers.
Externally-funded research fellows at the University of Southampton will benefit from:
- A world-leading research environment
- First class facilities and infrastructure
- Mentoring through the application process, during your fellowship, and after progressing to a permanent contract
- Application support via workshops and one-to-one support from our Fellowships Team, from the earliest stages of fellowship application through to interview preparation
- Access to industry contacts through our Corporate Partnerships Team
- Membership of our Future Leader Network, which gives Southampton’s fellowships community a strong and collective voice.
In addition:
- We have a strong track record of offering a permanent academic position at the University upon completion of externally-funded fellowships
- Subject to discussion with the relevant School and/or Faculty, long-term externally-funded fellows are supported by, for example, a PhD student, equipment and pump priming funding.
We welcome enquiries from fellowship applicants at any career stage, or academics wishing to transfer their existing fellowship to Southampton. Get in contact with us at fellowships@soton.ac.uk.
