Queen Mary Academy Fellowships

As a Queen Mary Academy Fellow:

• You will have time to develop and share your educational and scholarship practice which is aligned to Strategy 2030. 
• You will have the opportunity to raise your profile and develop wider influence across your School/Institute, Faculty and throughout the University.
• You will join a community of Fellows, contributing and learning from others in turn.
• You will benefit from regular support meetings with the Academy to help you deliver  and evidence impact for your project beyond your School or Institute.
• You will have the opportunity to evidence your institutional impact across Queen Mary, helping you to build a case for professional progression, and for sector-wide recognition through HEA Fellowship and associated awards.
• You will hold the additional title of Queen Mary Academy Fellow for the duration of your secondment.
• At the end of the Fellowship, a Fellow may apply for a new secondment beyond the initial agreed period. This will be considered based on outcomes.
• You will be eligible to join the QMA Fellows Alumni community. 

• Fellowships are part-time, fixed-term secondments, funded by the Queen Mary Academy. 
• Secondments must have the support of the Head of School or Institute. 
• The secondment will normally be approved for an initial period of no more than 12 months, for a maximum 0.2 fte (ie one day a week). Fellowships can also be undertaken in more intensive, shorter blocks of time. 
• Fellowships should normally begin at the start of a semester, though there can be flexibility if there is a good reason for a different start date.
• At the end of the Fellowship, a Fellow may apply for a new secondment beyond the initial 12 month period. This will be considered based on outcomes.

• A Queen Mary Academy Fellowship is a leadership position with an institutional remit and responsibility. You will therefore be expected to commit to making an active contribution to institutional educational priorities (e.g. sharing best practice, contributing to working groups and Communities of Practice) alongside the requirements of your own project.
• You will be expected to become an active member of the community of Fellows.
• To support internal and external promotion of the Fellowship scheme, you should have an up-to-date Queen Mary University staff profile page including a biography and a current photograph.
• You will be expected to disseminate your work internally and externally (eg presenting at the Festival of Education, producing case studies, posters, conference presentations).
• You will be expected to provide regular project updates to the Queen Mary Academy and create an end-of-project report.
