EPSRC is inviting Outline Proposals for EPSRC Challenge Fellowships in the LWEC theme. Fellowships are offered at both the Postdoctoral Fellowship and Early Career Fellowship level.
The closing date is 05 January 2017. Applications are sought that address the challenge question:
Background
EPSRC‘s Living With Environmental Change theme is keen to support the next generation of leaders in adapting to and mitigating climate change. This is a strategic activity focusing on a key challenge within the EPSRC LWEC theme and on bringing new thinking into the area.
A previous call was issued on this topic in 2015 and eight Fellowships funded.
The research required to answer this challenge requires a broad based, problem- directed and multidisciplinary approach. In this call EPSRC is particularly interested in proposals that help fill research gaps in this area:
- Proposals that use an Engineering, Physical Sciences, Computer Sciences or Mathematics led approach to the challenge
- Proposals that address Energy related aspects of the challenge
The balance of the research described in the application should be within the remit of EPSRC. They would particularly like to encourage applicants from across the EPSRC research landscape to apply.
