UKRI Future Leaders Fellowships

Applications are encouraged from the widest range of backgrounds, perspectives and experiences possible.

UKRI has announced Round 10 of the UKRI Future Leaders Fellowships scheme.

The UKRI deadline for applications is Wednesday, 18 June 2025. This a one stage process with no outline stage, but institutions are limited to a specific quota of applications, necessitating a cross-university triage process. The University of Manchester has been given the maximum allocation of 10 applications.

Humanities applicants are asked to submit an Expression of Interest (EoI) to Chloe Jeffries chloe.jeffries@manchester.ac.uk by Friday, 7 February 2025 (4pm) using the UKRI FLF EOI template and a short Resume for Research and Innovation (R4RI) rather than a traditional CV. The template and further details are available on the Researcher Development Funding Opportunities website.

We are keen to encourage applications from the widest range of backgrounds, perspectives and experiences possible to ensure all talented applicants have an equitable chance to succeed as per the assessment criteria. We will follow the same transparent and consistent process across all faculties in keeping with the funder’s guidance on Equality, Diversity and Inclusion.
