About The Royal Society University Research Fellowships

The Royal Society is a Fellowship of many of the world’s most eminent scientists and is the oldest scientific academy in continuous existence.

The University Research Fellowship (URF) scheme aims to provide outstanding scientists, who have the potential to become leaders in their chosen field, with the opportunity to build an independent research career. Those appointed are expected to be strong candidates for permanent posts in universities at the end of their fellowships. This scheme is very competitive

The Scheme is open to applicants of all nationalities. Note, University Research Fellows requiring a visa to work in the UK are eligible to apply for a Research and Innovation Talent Visa (i.e. Tier 1 Exceptional Talent Visa) under the accelerated process of endorsement. In line with the highly prestigious nature of the award, the Tier 1 Exceptional Talent visa route is designed for people who are internationally recognised as potential leaders and enables the holder to be both adaptable and flexible during their research in the UK. Further details can be found on the Royal Society’s website www.royalsociety.org/about-us/competent-body

This scheme is now open to applications and closes at 3pm on Tuesday 3 September 2019.
