The Fellowships are open to candidates in any of the physical or biological sciences, in mathematics, in applied science, or in any branch of engineering. Candidates must be British or a citizen of the British Commonwealth or of the Republics of Ireland or Pakistan, and should preferably be less than thirty years old.
The Fellowship stipend payable in 2006 is £22,800 for the first year, and £24,000 for the second year. In addition a London Weighting of £2,134 per annum is payable in appropriate cases.
Candidates must be recommended by Professors or Heads of Departments of Universities or other Institutions of equivalent status in the United Kingdom.
