Postdoctoral Research Fellowships: UK Intelligence Community
The Government Office for Science offers UK Intelligence Community (IC) Postdoctoral Research Fellowships to outstanding early career science or engineering researchers. These are designed to promote unclassified basic research in areas of interest to the intelligence, security and defence community. Members of the IC have identified research topics and Postdocs will work locally with University Research Advisors to develop and submit research proposals that align with the topics. The UK IC Postdoctoral Research Fellowship programme awards fellowships to researchers for 2 years up to £100,000 per year. The current call closes on 10 April 2017 and will run annually.
