italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies
British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowships, UCL School of European Languages, Culture & Society (SELCS)
The School is currently (August-September, 2015) inviting applications from outstanding scholars for the British Academy’s Postdoctoral Fellowships. The Academy's webpage British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowships explains the application procedure. SELCS's internal deadline for applicants is 30 September (see below).
Prospective applicants should contact a member of SELCS academic staff to discuss their proposed project and the possibility of applying through the School. The member of staff will, if both parties agree, act as the applicant's mentor. UCL's Italian Department includes staff with specialisms in Medieval and Renaissance literature and culture, Modern and Contemporary literature and culture, Comparative literature, Modern and Contemporary history and cultural studies, and Linguistics. Academic staff contact details and research interests are listed at: http://www.ucl.ac.uk/selcs/people/people-accordion/italian.
During their tenure, British Academy Postdoctoral Fellows are expected to complete a significant piece of publishable research.
Applicants must have:
1) received their doctorate within the last three years (see the Academy’s webpage for what this entails); and
2) be a UK or EEA national or, if not a UK or EEA national, have completed a doctorate at a UK university or be able to demonstrate in some other way that they have a strong association of some kind with the UK academic community.
Prospective applicants, advised by a UCL mentor (as above, and also see the School webpage Postdoctoral Research), should complete a project outline on the British Academy’s online application site and, *before submitting it*, send it as a PDF to the School Director and Research Director by Wednesday, 30 September, 2015 for preliminary consideration. Further details and links to relevant information are available at: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/selcs/postdoctoral-research.
The SELCS research team regrets that we shall not be able to consider applications that arrive after this date. The British Academy deadline is 5 pm on 7 October, 2015. UCL Research Administration require, however, at least one week to process applications before sending them to the School Director for authorization.
Thank you for your attention, and we look forward to hearing from those interested in applying!
Catherine Keen (Head of Italian Department), on behalf of UCL SELCS
