HRC Postdoctoral Research Fellowships

Each year, the HRC awards up to nine non-stipendiary one-year Postdoctoral Research Fellowships, with a research grant of £1000 made available for each.

Each of the Arts and Humanities units (Archaeology, Architecture, English and Related Literature, History, History of Art, Language and Linguistic Science, Philosophy, School of Arts and Creative Technologies), and the Centre for Medieval Studies may nominate one recent doctoral graduate for a fellowship. The School of Arts and Creative Technologies may nominate two - one from each subject area (TFTI/Music).

The fellowships run for an academic year, and each of the appointed fellows will:

  • carry the title Humanities Research Centre Postdoctoral Research Fellow.
  • be given personal workspace in Heslington Hall (new home of the HRC) for the academic year, enabling them to continue to benefit from, and contribute to, the intellectual, social and research life of the arts and humanities community (and the company of each other).
  • receive early career support from the HRC, including access to a bespoke mentorship programme.
  • receive a research grant of £1000, payable in two instalments.
