description
The J.W.T. Jones Travelling Fellowship is available to chemists wishing to spend a minimum of one month in a scientific laboratory abroad.
The Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) has designed the J.W.T. Jones Travelling Fellowship to promote international cooperation in chemistry. Specifically, the fellowship will enable younger chemists, or those working in a related discipline, to carry out short-term studies in well-established scientific centres abroad and to learn and use techniques and research methods not accessible to them in their own country. The theoretical and practical knowledge or training to be acquired in the foreign laboratory must be beneficial to the applicant’s scientific development.
Fellowships will not be awarded for attending scientific meetings or courses, or for conducting field work.
The applicant will be expected to return to his or her country of origin or residence upon termination of the fellowship so that his or her home country may benefit from the applicant’s broadened knowledge.
The maximum grant will be £5,000. The award will cover, either partially or fully, an economy class air or railway ticket and a subsistence allowance. It is normally expected that the institute of origin or the host institute will contribute to defray any remaining expenses incurred by the fellowship holder.
A candidate must be a member of the Royal Society of Chemistry and be under 45 years of age on the deadline date. An extension on the candidate’s age to a maximum of 7 years may be allowed to account for a career break due to temporarily withdrawing from research (for example, to bring up a family).
Applicants must hold at least a doctorate degree in chemistry or a related subject, and already be in post and actively engaged in independent research in that subject.
