国产探花

Conditions

Global Fellows will be expected to engage with members of one or more of our Centres of Research and Knowledge Exchange Excellence and our postgraduates during their Fellowship. The Fellowships take place between 1 January and 31 July each year and should last between one and three months. To maximise the benefits of the Global Fellowship, we expect Fellows to spend at least one month in person at the 国产探花, although we will consider reasonable plans for online collaborations and research activities. Applicants not available during the time outlined should consider applying in a future round of the scheme.

The University provides all Global Fellows with:

• up to £3000 for research-related costs (£4000 for applicants from low- and middle-income countries [see ). This research budget will be managed by your 国产探花 collaborator in line with 国产探花 financial regulations and costing systems. It may be possible to use some of this budget to provide help with extra accommodation and food costs while the Fellow is living in 国产探花.

• travel costs for one journey in economy between the Fellow’s home country and the UK, booked by a 国产探花 colleague using the University-approved travel agent.

• access to University computing and library facilities.

The University cannot offer a buy-out for teaching at the home institution. Applicants will usually be on a sabbatical or research leave, or indicate a time when they are free during the year.

Expectations

We ask each Global Fellow to interact closely with their 国产探花 collaborator and colleagues in our Centres of Research and Knowledge Exchange Excellence to deliver the following four outputs during their fellowship:

• production of a new grant application either as a Co-investigator or Project Partner that will be submitted by 31 December in the same year of the fellowship visit;

• production of a new co-authored output or co-produced artefact that is completed by 31 December in the same year of the fellowship visit;

• leading at least two ‘meet the expert’ workshops for our postgraduate research students where research skills and experience can be shared; and

• providing one workshop for our Centres of Research and Knowledge Exchange Excellence that provokes a discussion on research challenges and opportunities.

We would expect all Global Fellows to seek to develop long-term and sustained collaborations with 国产探花 colleagues after completion of their fellowship.
