STFC Science in Society Fellowships 2010

STFC announces the 2010 round of the Science in Society Fellowship Scheme, whose aim is to contribute to STFC?s Science in Society Programme by investing in good communicators with research credibility. They will act as champions or ambassadors for STFC?s science, technology, engineering and mathematics (?STEM?) work to the media, public audiences, or schools.

The Fellowships are aimed at those with significant research experience who also have a track record in public engagement or communications work. The fellowships recognise and reward current practitioners and enable them to expand the work they do in public engagement.

Fellowships buy time for additional or extended communication activities which will have a significant national or regional impact.

Both STFC grant-funded researchers and users of STFC facilities are eligible to apply. Facility users would champion generic facility programmes, for example the use of neutron, muon or light sources to study materials; lasers; high performace computing; e-science, etc.

Closing Date: Tuesday 2nd March 2010 at 16:00
