UK: 2010 Early Career Fellowships at The Leverhulme Trust

Overview

The Leverhulme Trust is offering approximately 70 Fellowships, in all subject areas, to commence between 1 September 2010 and 1 May 2011. Fellowships are either tenable for two or three years, and candidates requesting a three-year award must provide explicit justification for this in their application.

Early Career Fellowships provide career development opportunities for those at an early stage of their academic careers and are to enable candidates to undertake a significant piece of publishable research. The project put forward should not be a re-working or extension of the candidate's doctoral research project.

Eligibility Requirements

Applicants should be aged under 35 and must hold a doctorate or have equivalent research experience by the time of starting the Fellowship. Applicants aged 35 and over may apply if they began their academic studies at a later age than usual or have had a career change/break. Applicants must normally hold a degree from a UK higher education institution, and those registered for a doctorate may apply only if they have submitted their doctoral thesis by the closing date.


Value of this fellowship

The scheme operates on a pattern of joint support whereby The Leverhulme Trust contributes 50% of the Fellow's total salary costs up to an annual limit of £23,000, and the host institution matches this. It is a condition that the host department has identified and secured the source of the matching funding for an applicant by the closing date. Research expenses of up to £6,000 a year are also available from the Trust.

How to apply

Application materials are available from www.leverhulme.ac.uk. Please note that applications can only be made on the Trust's online application system and these can only be submitted via the applicant's host institution.

Closing date: 4.00pm on 11 March 2010.
