UK Early Career Research Fellowship
In 2024, Prof. Sir Brian Hoskins was awarded the in the field of Resources, Energy, the Environment, and Social Infrastructure for his research, which has contributed to establishing a scientific foundation for understanding and predicting extreme weather events.
The award was made jointly to him and his US colleague Professor John Michael Wallace, from the University of Washington.
To celebrate this award and to continue and enhance the long-standing collaboration between scientists working on climate and atmospheric science in the UK and Japan, Sir Brian has chosen to use the Prize money to endow a new fellowship for Early Career scientists from Japan.
The Fellowship will support visitors from Japan working in any area of the dynamics of weather and climate to spend 6-12 months working in Reading.
