At the University of Lincoln, we understand the importance of providing staff and students with the best possible environment for pursuing research that can help our communities, improve lives, and change the world.
Our supportive and inclusive research culture, where collaboration and knowledge exchange is fostered through a range of specialist institutes, schools, and policy initiatives, remains the bedrock of our success, while major investments in new buildings and state-of-the-art research facilities ensure that we nurture creativity and deliver impactful research that addresses regional and global priorities.
Supporting Our Students
The University's Doctoral School provides a focal point for our vibrant community of postgraduate researchers, offering student support, training programmes, and opportunities to share experiences across the wider research community at Lincoln.
The University is supporting applications for the UK Research and Innovation Future Leaders Fellowship for round 10 of the scheme, across its schools, colleges, and institutes. These fellowships are designed to develop, retain, attract, and sustain research and innovation talent in the UK. They also aim to foster new research and innovation career paths, including those at the academic/business and interdisciplinary boundaries and facilitate movement of people between sectors; provide sustained funding and resources for the best early career researchers and innovators; and offer long-term, flexible funding to tackle difficult and novel challenges, supporting adventurous and ambitious programmes.
To express an interest in the Fellowships, contact the relevant Head of School and a potential mentor to discuss your proposal. Staff lists are available on the University’s webpages. Please email research@lincoln.ac.uk to request an Expression of Interest form. The deadline to submit your expression of interest is 4pm on 17 February 2024.
The University has been awarded £1.1 million funding from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council to support 12 PhD studentships, which will focus on key strategic themes and align with pressing global challenges and the University’s research strengths.
Our postgraduate students are an integral part of our research community and we regularly provide opportunities to work with our expert academics on exciting research projects through our range of studentships.
We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of rigour and integrity in all aspects of our research. We do this by supporting good conduct and helping to prevent misconduct, upholding the commitments outlined in the UUK Concordat to Support Research Integrity, which provides a comprehensive national framework for good research conduct.
The University has developed a code of practice for research and a set of policies designed to encourage the completion of studies of the highest quality, to meet our ambitions as set out in our Strategic Plan 2022-27.
You can take advantage of the high-quality facilities and specialist research spaces we offer across our buildings on campuses to help support your research, including scientific laboratories, state-of-the-art clinical suites, specialist arts studios, and access to advanced research equipment and resources.
Undergraduate students at Lincoln have the opportunity to gain hands-on research experience, develop transferable skills, and even contribute to new knowledge through our competitive bursary scheme, where they can work alongside experts on a range projects across all disciplines.
The University is a signatory of the Concordat to Support the Career Development of Researchers, setting out clear standards that research staff can expect from the institution that employs them.
The Concordat is an agreement between funders and employers of research staff to improve the employment and support for research careers in UK higher education. It not only helps to improve the environment and culture within which research is conducted, but also recognises the role of research and innovation in delivering the UK’s industrial and economic strategies.
Our annual Images of Research competition showcases some of the high-quality, impactful studies that are taking place at Lincoln, giving postgraduate students and academics the opportunity to share their research experiences via a unique image and a 150-word abstract.
