CERC Postdoctoral and Engineering Fellows work alongside leading researchers on projects of national and global significance. They undertake independent research and are mentored by senior scientists, while being given access to generous personal development and learning opportunities.

A CERC Fellow may be a PhD graduate (CERC Postdoctoral Fellow) or hold an engineering degree plus a Master of Science (MSc) or Master of Engineering (MEng) qualification plus equivalent levels of original and significant contributions to research and development to that expected of someone of a new PhD graduate (CERC Engineering Fellow).
