Apply Now for British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowships

Posted on 3 September 2015

History of Art Department welcomes inquiries and applications for British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowships

This is an opportunity for outstanding early career researchers to strengthen their experience of research and teaching in a university environment which will develop their CVs and improve their prospects of obtaining permanent lecturing posts by the end of the fellowship.

The primary emphasis is on completion of a significant piece of publishable research, which will be assisted by full membership of an academic community of established scholars working in similar fields. 

Full details of the fellowships are available here.

Eligibility 

  1. Applicants must be supported by the UK host institution in which they wish to hold the Fellowship 
  2. Applicants must be within three years of the award of a doctorate (for the 2015-16 competition this means either already having been awarded a doctoral degree following a viva voce examination held on or after 1 April 2013; or having a reasonable expectation that they will have submitted and had their thesis examined by 1 April 2016) 
  3. Applicants in the 2015-16 competition awarded a PhD following a viva voce examination held prior to 1 April 2013 who are unable to offer extenuating circumstances, such as interruption to their academic career for maternity leave or illness, will not be considered 
  4. Applicants must be a UK or EEA national, or have completed a doctorate at a UK university. Any applicant who does not fall into one of these categories must demonstrate a strong prior association with the UK academic community, for example through already having been employed in a temporary capacity (longer than twelve months) at a UK university
