The 2015 Junior Fellowship award scheme received 40 applications from a variety of UK universities (including Birkbeck, Birmingham, Bristol, Cambridge, Cardiff, Essex, Glasgow, Imperial, Leicester, LSE, Manchester, Oxford, Portsmouth, St Andrews, UCL, York and Warwick).
5 elected Council members assessed and graded the applications and the RES Secretary General made the final awards. This year 16 candidates were selected for awards with 12 offers made.
Those offered a Junior Fellowship agree to undertake a proportion of teaching hours in the academic year, for which departments may reimburse. Recipients of a Junior Fellowship are asked to submit a report to the Secretary-General of the Society at the end of the academic year and provide a paper for consideration by the RES Conference Programme Chair for the RES Fellows Session at the Annual Conference. We expect our Junior Fellowship recipients to take out membership of the Society and attend the RES Annual Conference in April, for which we reimburse their registration and reasonable accommodation and travel costs.
The next JF scheme will be opened in the Spring of 2016 when all UK universities listed with CHUDE will be invited to nominate candidates for a fellowship award. Students who are interested in the awards should discuss this with their Head of School/Department.
