Deadline: November 6, 2018

Applications are open for the Chevening British Library Fellowship 2019-2020. The Fellowship is a collaboration between the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office and the British Library, offering international experts a year-long professional project-based placement.

Fellows will have the privilege of working with the extensive library’s collections, and benefit from the broad range of professional expertise of library staff. Fellows will undertake a period of professional project-based activity at the British Library, receiving support and supervision from library staff. For the 2019/2020 academic year, two placements are on offer and will provide fellows with experience in strategic and policy work relevant to a national library. There is one placement per theme.

Fellows will benefit from embedded working and hands-on training within a specific team, as well as having access to a range of organisational training and development opportunities, such as the British Library’s Digital Scholarship programme. The library’s postgraduate research manager will provide additional pastoral support and work with supervisors to monitor the progress and professional development. The fellowship starts in September 2019 and is for a 12-month period of project-based activity at the British Library.

Thematic Focus

  • Theme 1: Research on digitised archival material from Latin America and the Caribbean
  • Theme 2: Research on the British Library’s African-language printed books collections

  • 12-month period of project-based activity at the British Library
  • Living expenses for the duration of the fellowship
  • Return economy airfare from their home country to the UK
  • Allowance package for fellowship-related activities
  • Up to £1,000 for approved project-related expenses
