Newton Fund fellowship opportunities
Two Newton Fund fellowship opportunities are due to open in early 2020: the International Fellowship and the Newton Advanced Fellowship.
Typically, all Newton partner countries are eligible to apply for the International Fellowships, while a select group of countries can apply for the Advanced Fellowship call.
Research must be within the Royal Society’s remit of natural sciences, which includes but is not limited to biological research, chemistry and engineering.
