Launch your Career with an EPSRC Transition to Growth Fellowship

Posted: 3 September 2025

Are you at the end of your studies and thinking about the next step?

The Doctoral College and Research and Innovation Office invites applications for its new Transition to Growth Fellowships Scheme, designed to help EPSRC-funded doctoral researchers move from research to real-world impact. Whether you're preparing a publication, applying for further funding, planning commercialisation, or exploring industry placements, this fellowship of up to 4-months offers your salary and up to £750 for support and the resources to help you succeed.

We are inviting applications from individuals who have submitted or will have submitted their PhD by the 31 December 2025.  You must also have previously been in receipt of EPSRC funding for your PhD or funded by leverage on an EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training grant.

UK students can apply for up to 4 months of full-time funding. International students are subject to the rules of their visa but can apply for the scheme if allowed within its conditions. Fellowships may start any time after 1 October 2025 and must be completed in full by 31 March 2026.

You must complete an application form and get a supporting statement from your supervisors.

The full job description, application form and further information is available in the  Transition to Growth Fellowships Folder
