Overview:
Established in 2017, the Walters Kundert Fellowship is supported through a generous donation by the Walters Kundert Charitable Trust.
The Fellowship was set up to encourage applicants from across the spectrum of geographical research to enhance the understanding and well-being of the planet's Arctic and high mountain environments through research.
The Walters Kundert Charitable Trust also supports postgraduate grants through the RGS-IBG Postgraduate Research Awards.
Fellowship Award:
The Walters Kundert Fellowship offers awards of £10,000 annually to support field research in physical geography within the Arctic and/or high mountain environments, with a preference for field studies that advance the understanding of environmental change past or present.
Fellowship Eligibility:
- Applications are open to post-PhD researchers affiliated with a UK university or research institute.
- Fellows and members of the Society who are employed outside the UK.
- The Society’s grants program aims to promote geographical research and a wider understanding of the world. As such, it is not required that you have a geography degree, work in a geography department, or define yourself as a geographer. However, it is essential that the project you are undertaking advances in geographical knowledge.
