The EU-sponsored Durham International Fellowships for Research and Enterprise (DIFeREns) allows Durham University to gather together scholars, researchers, policy makers or practitioners from around the world and across the full spectrum of science, social science, arts and humanities to address themes of global significance in collaboration with Durham's Research Institutes and researchers.
Two types of International Fellowships for Research and Enterprise are available:
The JRF scheme is aimed at researchers with significant post-doctoral experience, but recent doctorands of exceptional ability and researchers who have followed non-traditional academic career paths (such as in public corporations, NGOs or industry) are also encouraged to apply. JRFs will pursue new research ideas of their own design, undertaken in collaboration with academic researchers at Durham University.
The Senior Research Fellowship programme is designed to attract lively, inventive and influential figures in academia, to provide them with an environment in Durham that will challenge their thinking and ours and to foment new and sustainable research collaborations across the panoply of our collective activities. Applicants should be active researchers with an established or emerging international reputation for scholarship and research leadership.
