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.

Decent Work and Productivity Research Centre at Manchester Metropolitan:
The Decent Work and Productivity Research Centre at Manchester Met comprises a multi-disciplinary group of researchers with backgrounds in Human Resource Management (HRM), Business Psychology, Leadership and Management, Work and Equalities, Employment Relations and Social Policy. Guided by our vision “to identify what causes - and who has - decent and productive work, and what can be done to shape a bright future for the world of work”, we attract funding from prestigious funders including the ESRC, NIHR, Nuffield Foundation, Leverhulme Trust, and through Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs) to support our research activities. This research has been translated into an excellent track-record of real-world impact, for example our highly rated REF 2021 impact case study on changing employment and practice in adult social care, our regular engagement with parliamentary committees and government departments, and close partnership working with a wide range of policy and practice organisations who share our commitment to decent and productive work.
Our researchers have expertise working across a wide range of areas, including health and well-being, active labour market policy, employee voice and entrepreneurship. Our current work includes projects focused on understanding improving conditions in social care, addressing the under-representation of ethnic minority employees in social housing leadership positions, supporting women’s health at work, and engaging with employers and supporting progression through Universal Credit.
Our Centre predominantly focusses on making a real-world impact on the following themes:
