NERC wishes to award a number of Knowledge Exchange (KE) fellowships. KE Fellows work between 20% and 80% of their time on a work plan of their own choosing to generate impact from NERC-funded research in their host institution. The KE Fellowships will cover 100% of the Fellow's salary on a pro-rata basis including superannuation, NI and specific allowances, plus up to £40k for travel and other associated costs. They cover direct costs only and do not include overheads. There is no budget limit for salary costs and applications are particularly welcomed from individuals who are working at a senior level within a department or school. The KE Fellow must be employed by their host institution for the duration of their fellowship.
NERC is likely to be inviting applications for Directed Knowledge Exchange Fellowships as additional opportunities. The details will be added to the announcement of opportunity on the same webpage in December 2015 or early January 2016. Directed Knowledge Exchange Fellowships focus on a particular science area, policy requirement or business sector with the topic chosen by NERC. At this stage it is known that one of these opportunities will be for a KE Fellow to work with the aquaculture industry.
