Fellowships will cover salary and research expenses for up to five years. In addition, each fellowship offers: * Interactions between Education Research Fellows, policy makers, practitioners and sponsors through support mechanisms and individual and organisational links * Flexible working patterns with the option of reclaiming time spent part-time The closing date for the receipt of applications is 18 March 2010.
