Through an Independent Research Fellowship (IRF), NERC will invest in researchers seeking to conduct their own environmental research within an eligible host organisation.

Strong applicants will demonstrate convincing evidence of working towards this goal and a high potential to become independent research leaders in the future. Applicants will demonstrate that, if awarded an IRF, they will be working independently of senior colleagues with whom they might have previously collaborated or for whom they might be working currently in a supporting role.

Individuals demonstrating an upward track to pursuing working independently and developing research leadership are encouraged to apply.
Applicants should not apply if they currently hold a tenured academic post or academic position at lecturer level (or equivalent position).
