Deadline: July 26, 2024

Applications are open for the British Council 90th Anniversary Research Fellowships at the University of Edinburgh 2025. As the British Council celebrates their 90th anniversary in 2024, they are delighted to announce a new research partnership with the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities (IASH) at the University of Edinburgh.

They are awarding two 12-month fellowships starting in January 2025 – open to postdoctoral researchers based in any ODA (Official Development Assistance) recipient country where the British Council operates. Fellows will spend the first ten months of their fellowships at IASH, followed by up to two months based in their home countries focused on knowledge exchange and dissemination in collaboration with the British Council.

Fellowship

In short, a 2025 British Council 90th Anniversary Research Fellowship provides:

  • Research visit at the University of Edinburgh for ten months, followed by up to two months based in their home countries focused on knowledge exchange and dissemination
  • Bursary of £2,500 per month for 12 months
  • Dedicated office space, University e-mail and library access
  • A University mentor from an area relevant to the Fellows’ research interests
  • Weekly Fellows’ Lunch to build community
  • Collegial work-in-progress seminar series for testing new ideas
  • Calendar of engaging events at the Institute and College
  • Opportunities to participate in and design funded workshops, colloquia, etc at the Institute

Eligibility

  • These are early-career fellowships, meaning applicants must be within seven years of completion of their PhD.
  • Applicants must be based in an ODA recipient country in which the British Council operates and should be qualified to undertake postdoctoral level research for the fellowship.

Selection Criteria

Applications will be considered by an assessment panel comprised of University of Edinburgh and British Council staff.

Assessment will take account of the extent to which candidates meet the following criteria.

  • A research and/or professional background and academic record that relates to broad thematic remit of the programme, outlined above.
  • A research proposal with clear potential to support the British Council’s objectives for the programme, outlined above.
  • Demonstrable experience of engaging non-academic audiences and stakeholders in research (e.g. through engagement with policy makers, practitioners, artists or other public audiences).
  • A clear commitment to knowledge exchange and dissemination as part of the fellowship and beyond the timeframe of the fellowship itself, based on the networks, insights and learnings developed through their research.

Application

  • In addition to the application form, a minimum of two and a maximum of three confidential references are required, and a cover letter outlining how the Fellowship will support the British Council’s objectives for this programme.
  • Applicants should ask their referees to email their reference to the Director at [email protected] by 26 July 2024. If references are not received by this date, your application cannot be considered.
  • Referees should comment on the nature and quality of the research proposal, as well as on the qualifications of the applicant. One referee should certify the successful viva (defence) and final examination of the candidate’s PhD thesis.
