Final call for RAS Astronomy fellowships

Royal Astronomical Society gives tips on how to apply

As the 19 October application deadline for the Royal Astronomical Society’s call for two three-year fellowships for early-career researchers approaches, Research Fortnight Today has obtained more information on what is required.

The fellowships, to start in 2013, give “very clever people the opportunity to stay in the game for three years while their career plans emerge,” says RAS president David Southwood. “There’s no preferred subject, or even a balance to be achieved—it’s solely based on academic excellence.”
