Sorry, the links in my original post went a bit crazy; they should work
now, but if not, I'm also including the URL of the job advert below.

*The Leverhulme Trust - Early Career Fellowships, 2016*
Brunel University London will support a number of Leverhulme Trust Early
Career Fellowship applications in the 2016 competition. Applications for
this competition require the support of a member of Brunel staff who is
willing to act as mentor. Brunel will hold an internal competition to
decide which applications will be put forward under the scheme, so
applicants should not approach The Leverhulme Trust directly at this stage.
The Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellowship scheme is aimed at scholars
who are at a relatively early stage of their academic careers and who
have a proven record of research. Applicants must hold an awarded
doctorate (or have equivalent research experience), and must not hold or
have held a permanent academic position in a UK university or comparable
institution. Candidates must check that they are eligible for the scheme
before proceeding with the application process described below. More
information can be found on the *_Leverhulme Trust website_*.
*HOW TO APPLY*
If you are interested in applying for a Leverhulme Early Career
Fellowship to be hosted by Brunel University London and you meet the
necessary eligibility criteria, please contact Jo Lakey
([log in to unmask]) as soon as possible.
Candidates should email the application materials listed below to Jo
Lakey no later than *12 noon on Friday 8**^th **January 2016*:
*
a one-page (maximum) CV including education, publications, any
awards, thesis title and examiners;
*
a two-page (maximum) draft statement of research (which may use
similar headings to that in the Leverhulme scheme’s notes of guidance);
*
a 150 word abstract summarising the research for a general audience;
*
the name of the Brunel staff member who has agreed to act as mentor,
should your application be successful; and
*
the names of up to three academic referees; candidates should ask
their referees to email copies of reference letters directly to Jo
Lakey ([log in to unmask]) by the deadline above.
*THE SELECTION PROCESS*
No interviews will be held; selection will be made on the basis of
application materials alone. All applications will be considered by a
group of senior staff who will have final responsibility for deciding
which candidates will be put forward to the Leverhulme Trust. In
assessing applications, the group will be guided by the quality of the
proposed research project, by its relevance to Brunel’s research
priorities, and by the applicant’s potential to produce published work
which is internationally excellent in terms of originality, significance
and rigour. The group will also bear in mind the Leverhulme Trust’s
emphasis on the originality of the project, the significance of the
project, the ability to judge and take appropriate risks in the project
and the removal of barriers between traditional disciplines.
We aim to inform successful candidates by Friday 15^th January 2016.
Successful candidates will be expected to work closely with their
prospective mentor to prepare a final version of their application and
will be provided with additional support from the Research Support and
Development Office. The application must be submitted to the University
by 16^th February 2016 for final assessment, prior to the Leverhulme
Trust submission date of 10^th March 2016.
