The benefits

• Freedom to concentrate on basic research in any field of engineering.

• Time to establish a track record in the field.

• The services of a mentor (a Fellow of The Academy) to offer advice and to facilitate industrial links as the research progresses.

• Restrictions of your teaching and administrative duties.

Amazing Fellowship!

Start writing early – it takes longer than you think.

A good mentor makes a massive difference.

Use it to your advantage.

GOOD LUCK
