How to apply for a NERC Fellowship
Applying through the Je-S system
You must use the Joint electronic-Submission (Je-S) system to prepare and submit your Fellowship proposal. In order to apply, the organisation where the Fellowship will be held must be registered to use Je-S. Most UK research organisations are now registered. A summary is available of organisations' current Je-S registration status.
If you do not have a Je-S account
You will need to create one. To do this, you will need to select the option "Create Account" from the main Je-S log in screen and then select the option that you require the ability to create and submit Fellowship proposals. You may wish to refer to the relevant Je-S System tutorials for details of how to do this.
If you have a Je-S account
If you have a Je-S account, but it is unregistered, you too will need the ability to create and submit Fellowship proposals. You can change this in the "My Details" section of the Je-S system by selecting that you need the ability to create and submit Fellowship proposals.
If you have a registered Je-S account, you will be able to create Fellowship Proposals without the need to change your registration status.
If you have forgotten your account log in details or are unsure whether you already have an account please contact the Je-S helpdesk who will advise you.
Submitting your Fellowship through Je-S
The submission route that your Fellowship proposal will take depends upon how the host Research Organisation has configured its submission process. The tutorials give an overview of the submission process through Je-S. If you are submitting a Fellowship through a host organisation that is not your own, you may wish to familiarise yourselves with its submission process.
You will of course be in discussion with the organisation where you wish to hold the Fellowship. As part of these discussions, you should ensure that it is content to submit the Fellowship Proposal on your behalf. Upon submitting the Fellowship Proposal to the Research Council, the Research Organisation submitter will be asked to confirm that it has verified your identity. It will also be advised to check the Head of Department statement to ensure that it has been completed by an appropriate person.
Applicants can only submit one application to NERC for the closing date on 1 November 2012 at 16:00.
