*Small Grant for Post-doctoral Research in Anthropology*
The Trustees of the Camel Trust invite applications for a grant of up to a
maximum of £3,000 to support outstanding post-doctoral research in the
field of social anthropology during the course of the calendar year 2016.
Their intention is to support research by a young post-doctoral scholar and
to help him or her to prepare for an academic career in anthropology and
make a significant contribution to the discipline. This could be through a
short period of post-doctoral field research, the completion of an original
academic publication, or the completion and submission of a grant
application (or any combination of these).
Eligibility:
- Applicants must be have been formally awarded a PhD in Anthropology
from a UK university, and the degree must have been conferred after
1st January,
2012. The terms of the Trust require that the successful candidate should
be formally or informally affiliated to a UK university, and a short letter
agreeing to such an affiliation must be forwarded to the Trustees before
the award is finally confirmed. This might be from a prospective ‘mentor’,
a former supervisor or a Head of Department.
- There are no restrictions on nationality.
- Applications are invited from scholars in temporary employment or
without any formal employment, but not from those who already hold a
permanent faculty position.
- Research on any thematic area and geographic region will be
considered.
The *closing date for applications is 15 November 2015* and the proposed
research may be done at any stage between 1st January 2016 and 31st December
2016. Applications should consist of a one page cover letter, a short CV,
a one page outline of the proposed research activity, a one page budget,
and an article/chapter-length sample of writing. In addition, the names of
two referees should be provided who may be contacted by the Trustees.
Applications, together with all the documentation, should be emailed to:

The successful applicant will be contacted by the end of December 2015. If
you have not heard from us by early January 2016 you should assume that
your application was not successful. By the end of the grant period (that
is, by 31th December 2016) the grant recipient will be required to submit a
short (1 page) report on their research activity along with a short account
of the fieldwork conducted, or a copy of the article completed or the
research application submitted.
The grant for the academic year 2014-15 went to Dr Diana Ibañez-Tirado for
a project on *Intimacy and touch: embodied care and the shaping of Muslim
families in Tajikistan*.
The Trustees regret that they cannot enter into any correspondence with
unsuccessful applicants or offer further advice on the form that
applications should take.
Best wishes,
The Camel Trust Trustees
