Will this program recur, or is this a one-off opportunity? (I’m quite interested, but unfortunately unsure whether I can take seven months off my PhD during this particular academic year.)
Whether the program recurs likely depends on a few different factors including the results of the first iteration of the program. Assuming things all go well; however, we would be excited to run this again next year.
Thanks, Oliver! And am I reading the website correctly that the fellowship is full time, such that participants won’t be able to devote any time to their current research agendas (aside from weekends/evenings etc.)?
The program is full-time, so we do expect fellows to devote full-time working hours towards fellowship research. Of course, if the research agenda of a participant is aligned with the sort of work we’re excited to see in the program, this could be worked on as part of the fellowship. Aside from that, where a participant’s research is unrelated to the work being done in the fellowship, they will need to pursue that research in their free time.
