Research fellowship opportunities
Fellowship applicants interested in joining us should contact the member of academic staff closest to their research area, or our Research Development team in the first instance to discuss their proposed project: HLS-Researchcluster@exeter.ac.uk.
We have a strong track record of hosting fellowships funded by both UK and international schemes, e.g. UKRI Future Leaders Fellows, NERC Independent Research Fellows, BBSRC Fellows, Royal Society University Research Fellows, Marie Curie Fellows, European Research Council and Wellcome schemes.
We also welcome enquiries from existing fellowship holders interested in transferring to the University of Exeter.
