Professorial Fellowships
Professorial Fellowships are aimed at leading senior social scientists. The provision of salary support, research assistant support and the linking of the Fellowships with PhD studentships is designed to foster high quality and innovative advances in the social sciences. The Scheme is based on open competition and there are no restrictions on the nature of the social science research to be undertaken. Applications are considered by a panel which includes some representatives of the Research Grants Board, and short listed applicants are interviewed by this panel. The final decisions are discussed and agreed by the full Board. These awards are intended to push back the frontiers of social science by allowing the UK's leading scholars the time and opportunity to carry out cutting edge research that will deepen our understanding of a number of critical social scientific questions in areas that will have an impact on the future of our society. The scheme offers Fellows with an outstanding track record in research the time and funding to pursue an exciting research agenda, and to carry out innovative and creative work that will have economic, social and policy impacts.
