Dorothy Hodgkin Fellowship 2027

The Dorothy Hodgkin Fellowship is a career-development opportunity offered by the Royal Society for outstanding early-career researchers to establish an independent research career in the natural sciences. It provides funding to develop an independent research programme and to lead a research group, with flexible working arrangements to accommodate personal circumstances. The 2027 round offers funding up to £1,907,400 over a maximum of eight years and includes access to mentoring and professional networks.

Funding to develop an independent research programme, opportunity to establish and lead a research group, mentoring and engagement opportunities, flexible working arrangements, and access to a community of research fellows.

Early-career researchers with a PhD or no more than six years of actual research experience since their PhD, who do not currently hold a permanent university or not-for-profit position, and who require flexible support due to personal circumstances.

Applications are submitted through the Royal Society’s online Flexi-Grant system.
