Calling ECRs in science and engineering: the Royal Academy of Engineering and Government Office for Science are now accepting applications for UK IC Postdoctoral Research Fellowships. This scheme funds unclassified basic research on topics of strategic importance to the intelligence, security, and defence communities.
Sociotechnical researchers may be particularly interested in ‘Topic 9: Attitudes and barriers to adoption of security-minded information management’, which calls for research exploring how people, practices and organisational cultures shape secure info behaviour and impede or enable adoption of security-minded practices. If your work sits at the intersection of human behaviour, information systems, and security, this is a great opportunity to apply your expertise.
Each application for the UK IC Postdoctoral Research Fellowships is capped at a maximum contribution of £250,000 over the 2-year period, at 80% of the full economic costs (fEC).
The application deadline is Tue 28 April 2026, 4pm BST.
