We encourage applications to a range of fellowships. 

Fellowships are prestigious routes to support an innovative research agenda and demonstrate academic independence towards a permanent position.

The Department counts several fellows and welcomes new applications from outstanding candidates, particularly in the areas of sustainable manufacturing, digitalisation, net zero and biotechnology. 

Research fellowship schemes are very competitive and a limited number can be supported by the Department and Imperial. To be able to secure sponsorship (as each application must be supported by an academic host in the Department), for most fellowship schemes, applicants should follow our Departmental selection process.

More details on this process can be found below and may vary depending on the fellowship scheme.
