INSPIRE Faculty Fellowship: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how to secure a five-year research position and grant through the INSPIRE Faculty Fellowship program.

The INSPIRE Faculty Fellowship is a program designed to support researchers with high potential by providing them with a platform to conduct independent research.

Who it's for

This fellowship is for individuals who hold a PhD and are under 32 years of age. It is specifically intended for those who have demonstrated significant potential in their research work.

What you get

If you are selected, you receive a contractual research position for a period of five years. This includes a consolidated salary and a research grant to fund your scientific studies and projects.

What it costs you

There is no direct monetary cost to apply, but the process is highly competitive. To be successful, you must secure a commitment from a host institution willing to support your research work.

The catch to know

It is important to understand that this is a contractual position rather than a permanent one. Once the fellowship period ends, it is your responsibility to secure a tenure-track role or a permanent academic position.

How to apply

  1. Confirm you meet the age and qualification requirements.
  2. Secure a commitment from an academic institution to act as your host.
  3. Prepare your research proposal and necessary documentation.
  4. Submit your application through the official online portal.
