Opportunities from Software Sustainability Institute / Institute for Research Software

Each selected Fellow receives a £4,000 activity budget to organise or attend activities that promote good software practice, plus mentoring, cohort learning, community calls, study groups and participation in the annual Collaborations Workshop. The £4,000 is an activity budget, not a salary or living stipend.

The programme is open across career stages and backgrounds, including PhD candidates, research software engineers, academics, research-computing leaders and others supporting research, training or research infrastructure. Applicants outside the UK or without UK institutional affiliation must explain how their plans foster international collaboration or bring a valuable perspective to UK research culture and should address practical issues such as time zones, language barriers or travel expenses.
