As we celebrate our 200th year of Manchester Met, we are delighted to be launching our ‘Third Century Fellowship Scheme’.
The Fellowship Scheme is aimed at exceptional researchers, in the early stages of their post-doctoral career, who aim to make their mark in the field of independent research. You will have extensive experience and a notable track record of research outputs in your area of research.
What are we offering as part of the Third Century Fellowship Scheme?
By joining our Fellowship Scheme, you’ll play a leading part in our global research offering and join our community, working collaboratively across multidisciplinary and diverse teams with state-of-the-art facilities and work environment.
Successful applicants will benefit from:
During the term of the fellowship, you will be publishing internationally excellent and world-leading outputs and will be pursuing external funding opportunities to realise your future research ambitions. You will also have the opportunity, when relevant, to prepare and deliver short courses.
The Scheme begins with an initial appointment to a fixed-term post with the expectation to transition to a permanent Senior Lecturer or as a Reader, after three years, dependant on your performance and potential as assessed through the scheme.
These fellowship opportunities are being offered across our four faculties: Science & Engineering, Arts & Humanities, Business & Law and Health & Education. We will be making up to 15 appointments onto the cohort, based on application and assessment performance, and best fit to our preferred areas of research, across our four faculties.

You can explore our Fellowship Opportunity in Surface Engineering below.
Surface Engineering at Manchester Metropolitan:
The Surface Engineering Group at Manchester Met can trace an unbroken history of achievements back to the early 1970s. Led by Prof Peter Kelly, the group specialises in the development and applications of the magnetron sputtering physical vapour deposition technique and are the leading academic exponents of this technique in the UK. Our goal is to generate new understanding of coating materials and deposition processes and use that knowledge to develop new applications, components and devices with novel or enhanced properties, which support economic and social development at regional, national and international levels.
Our dedicated laboratory houses eight magnetron sputtering systems, supported by an extensive suite of testing and analysis facilities. Our work is highly applied in nature, and generally focused on the end use of the coating/substrate system as our coating equipment ranges in scale from lab scale ‘material discovery’ systems to full size pilot production systems. With a strength of seven academic staff, four PDRAs, several PhD students and visiting researchers, we collaborate and engage with industry to understand their issues.
