BU Colleagues – do you have a post-doc/PhD student engaging with datasets? If so, please cascade…many thanks Debbie

Are you a post-doctoral researcher or PhD researcher based in a UK university? Do you use UK Data Service data in your research with a focus on impact? If so we are offering you the opportunity to be awarded one of our Data Impact Fellowships.

Five awards are offered to the value of £2,000 per Fellow and the programme will run over 2 years from September 2017, which Fellows can use to cover impactful public engagement activities such as: holding focus groups, international conference costs or the cost of an article processing charge for a publication.

As a UK Data Service Data Impact Fellow we’ll help you promote your research through blogging, becoming a data citation practitioner, developing impact case studies and enhancing your profile. The Data Impact Fellows 2016-2018 will provide support, sharing their experiences and advice on developing research impact.

Funded by the ESRC, the programme aims to provide career development opportunities for scholars at a relatively early stage of their academic careers with a proven record of research.

Apply here, we look forward to hearing from you. Deadline 15 August 2017.
