Newton International Fellowship

The Newton International Fellowship, named after Sir Isaac Newton, is an international postdoctoral award for selected foreign academics to carry out research at institutions in the United Kingdom.

Established by the Royal Society, British Academy, and Royal Academy of Engineering, the Fellowships are awarded annually to approximately 25 of the most outstanding early career academics from across the world, in all disciplines of the sciences and humanities.

Key objectives of the Newton Fellowship are to bring the best early career academics to the UK and to enhance ties between these academics' home countries and the UK.

It is required that applicants hold a PhD by the time the funding starts.

Applicants should have no more than 7 years of active full-time postdoctoral experience at the time of application (discounting career breaks, but including teaching experience and/or time spent in industry).
