<p>Dear Alfonso,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The Royal Astronomical Society is pleased to invite applications for its RAS Research Fellowships. The Society intends to award two fellowships, providing outstanding early-career researchers with the opportunity to pursue independent research at a UK host

<p>The fellowships provide up to three years of support, with an expected start date of 1 October 2027. Full details, including eligibility criteria and application guidance, can be found here:<a href="https://fellows.ras.ac.uk/civicrm/mailing/url?u=6427&qid=1901287" target="_blank" title="https://www.ras.ac.uk/awards-and-grants/fellowships/2330-fellowship-call">https://www.ras.ac.uk/awards-and-grants/fellowships/2330-fellowship-call</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The application deadline is <strong><span style="font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif">15 November 2026</span></strong>. We encourage eligible researchers to apply and would be grateful if Fellows could share this opportunity with colleagues and potential applicants.<o:p></o:p></p>
