Deadline: February 7, 2025
Applications are open for the British Academy International Fellowship 2025-2027. The Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities (CRASSH) at the University of Cambridge welcomes applications for the British Academy International Fellowship scheme.
The British Academy International Fellowship is a two-year initiative aimed at attracting and retaining emerging talent in the UK to create a globally connected and mobile research workforce. This program seeks to draw talented international early career researchers to conduct their research in the UK, support them in pursuing high-quality and innovative projects, and provide opportunities for career development.
Eligibility
Applicants should ensure that they meet the following requirements:
- Have a PhD, or applicants in the final stages of their PhD will be accepted provided that the PhD will be completed (including viva) before the start date of the Fellowship. Confirmation of award of the PhD will be required before any Fellowship award is confirmed.
- Applicants should have no more than seven years of active full time postdoctoral experience at the time of application (discounting career breaks, but including teaching experience and/or time spent in industry).
- Be working outside the UK.
- Not hold UK citizenship.
- Be competent in oral and written English.
- Have a clearly defined and mutually-beneficial research proposal agreed with a UK host researcher.
Application
Applications should consist of the following:
- A two-page CV, including the dates on which you had your PhD viva and on which you were awarded the PhD.
- A list of publications (not exceeding one side).
- A completed internal selection form.
- The name and contact details of one referee, preferably based in the UK, who is not your mentor or PhD supervisor.
Applications must be emailed to Dr Russell Re Manning, Deputy Centre Administrator, at [email protected] by 12:00 noon BST on Friday 7 February 2025. This is the internal deadline for applications to be assessed and selected for submission to the British Academy, which will likely have a deadline of mid-March 2025.
