    Brief

    The Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) is inviting applications for the Ernest Rutherford Fellowships 2026, offering up to 10 fellowships totaling £6,000,000. These fellowships support exceptional early-career researchers in establishing independent research careers across astronomy, particle physics, nuclear physics, accelerator science, computational science, and quantum technologies. Each fellowship provides 80% of full economic costs for up to five years, with the host institution required to contribute the remaining 20% in-kind or cash. The fellowships are designed to enable researchers to develop their own research direction, build a small team, and establish themselves as independent investigators. Eligible applicants should be early-career researchers ready to lead their own research group.
