Swindon, Swindon, United Kingdom NERC - the Natural Environment Research Council Full time

**Research Opportunities in Bioscience**

We are seeking applications for funding to undertake large-scale research projects in the natural environment. These projects should demonstrate a potential for major breakthroughs in our fundamental understanding of living systems, a fully integrated team science approach, and the need for longer and larger scale funding.

**Project Requirements**

  • The full economic cost of your project must be over £2 million.
  • BBSRC will fund 80% of the full economic cost.
  • Projects can be up to five years in duration.

**Eligibility**

This funding opportunity is open to teams of eligible researchers at higher education institutions, research council institutes, approved independent research organisations, and public sector research establishments.

**Key Considerations**

  • A single project lead must be designated as the main contact for BBSRC.
  • The intellectual leadership and overall management of the project may be shared with any number of project co-leads at any number of eligible research organisations.
  • We particularly encourage the inclusion of research technical professionals in the 'Core team' section.

**Additional Information**

We are committed to achieving equality of opportunity for all funding applicants. We encourage applications from a diverse range of researchers and support people to work in a way that suits their personal circumstances.
