Bristol Futures Research Development Fellowship

We are pleased to offer a flagship research development programme aimed at equipping talented researchers from under-represented groups with the skills and experience required to become academic leaders of the future.

This career development programme is designed to support early career researchers of Black or Black Mixed heritage to develop their research portfolio at the University of Bristol, collaborate with others, and build the skills, experience, and networks necessary for a sustainable academic career.

The programme will provide two fellowship opportunities, each hosted by one of our five schools in the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences, and your research interests should be aligned to one or more of these areas.

What You'll Be Doing

As a Bristol Futures Fellow, you will be self-directed in your research output, passionate about building your independent research vision, and eager to build your own research group. You will be supported through targeted mentorship and have access to a range of resources to support your development towards future academic leadership.

  • Black African

  • hold the right to live and work in the UK at the time of application
  • be at an early stage of your research career or will be seeking to re-enter academia from industry or other non-traditional career routes
Supporting Information for Applicants

While the role is advertised as full-time, flexibility will be provided for circumstances such as caring responsibilities or disability, tailored to individual needs wherever possible.

Awarded Fellowships provide funding covering full salary costs and research and travel expenses for 4 years.

Fellows will have both a fellowship sponsor and access to the Bristol Clear Mentorship Scheme, alongside access to a range of leadership and development programmes.

Full details of the fellowship, including more information on submitting your proposal and an outline of activities, can be found in available supporting documents.
