Closing date: Wednesday 15th April 2026

The Network+ will support two early career fellowships via the GIBA Network+ Fellowship Scheme.

For each fellowship, up to £500,000 is available, finishing within the Network+ lifespan (2029). Applicants will need to demonstrate an interdisciplinary and ambitious approach, which will advance the understanding of GIBA-associated mechanisms across the life-course. Applicants should have appropriate and relevant research or innovation experience, judged against career stage.

To promote interdisciplinary research, we will also welcome applicants with experience in the mathematical/physical/social sciences. There will be no specified limit on the number of years postdoctoral or work experience, however priority will be given to researchers who demonstrate an upward trajectory towards independence. Awardees will be expected to contribute to at least one of the GIBA Network working groups.
