Fellowships

We welcome applications to apply for Fellowships supported by external organisations and hosted by Durham University. As a first step it is a good idea to get in touch with a member of the department who can act as your sponsor and assist you as you prepare your application. You can find details of some of the common Fellowships below, including departmental contacts and deadlines for submitting CVs. If the Fellowship you are interested in applying for is not listed or you do not have a departmental contact, please get in touch with maths.research@durham.ac.uk. We particularly encourage applications from women and black and ethnic minority candidates, who are underrepresented in academic positions in the university.
