THE LEVERHULME TRUST
EARLY CAREER DEVELOPMENT FELLOWSHIPS
Closing Date: 15 March 2005
Web: http://www.leverhulme.ac.uk/grants_awards/grants/early_career_fellowships/
These awards are for those with a proven record of research (those with a PhD or equivalent research experience). Approximately 30 Fellowships to be offered in 2005.Their aim is to provide career development opportunities for those with a proven record of research who do not hold, or have not held a full-time established academic post in a UK university or comparable institution in the UK. The primary purpose of the scheme is to enable the award holder to undertake a significant piece of publishable research.
Applicants should be or have recently been a member of the UK academic community and intend to remain so. They should also normally be under age 35 and hold an awarded doctorate or have equivalent research experience at the time of taking up the award. Applications from those over 35 will be considered if they began their academic studies at a later age than usual or have had a career change/break. Those registered for a doctorate may apply only if they have submitted their doctoral thesis by the closing date, and confirmation of this will be required as part of the application procedure.
Fellowships, which are for 24 months, can be held at universities or at other higher education institutions in the UK and all fields are eligible and should be taken up between the beginning of the 2005/06 academic year and 1 May 2006
The Trust will contribute 50% of each Fellow's total salary costs up to a maximum of £19,000 per annum; the balance is to be paid by the host institution. Fellows are to be paid on the national salary scale for academic staff based on their age and experience. Given the prestige of the awards each Fellow may seek research expenses up to £5000 per annum to enable the Fellow's research.
Best wishes
Mark
