British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship

The British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship offers outstanding early-career researchers in the Humanities and Social Sciences the opportunity to strengthen their experience of research and teaching in an academic environment. This scheme aims to help develop the award-holder’s curriculum vitae and boost their prospects of obtaining a permanent academic post. The primary emphasis is on the completion of a significant piece of publishable research, and the integration of the award holder into the community of established scholars within their field.

You will need to confirm sponsorship by a permanent faculty member in DPIR before you apply. You can find further details on our webpage DPIR’s permanent academic staff.
