EPSRC Future Composites Manufacturing Research Hub Launches Call for Innovation Fellowships

EPSRC Future Composites Manufacturing Research Hub is inviting applications for up to two postdoctoral Innovation Fellowships, which will be for a period of up to two years and is aimed at early stage researchers looking to take the first step towards an independent research career. Innovation Fellowships are open to national and international researchers and will be hosted by the most appropriate UK institutions to support the aims of the research. Fellows will benefit from access to facilities and expertise across existing Hub members. Applicants are expected to develop a proposal at TRL 1 to 3 to facilitate a fundamental step-change in composites manufacturing technology within the UK. Proposals must focus on composites manufacturing, rather than the development of next-generation materials and address at least one of the five Hub priority areas. Application and funding criteria is available at www.cimcomp.ac.uk and the closing date for applications is 31st May 2018.
