The Faculty of Arts and Humanities at the University of Sheffield
comprises four departments and two schools: Archaeology, History,
Philosophy, Music, the School of English and the School of Languages and
Cultures. We critically reflect on all aspects of human society and
culture (past, present, and future) and on the process of reflection
itself. We investigate cultures and languages near and far, their ideas,
texts, artefacts and landscapes. We aim to create the cultural capital
of the future. Working individually and collaboratively, we continually
develop innovative methods of enquiry within and across disciplines. Our
openness to enquiry and independence in asking and answering questions,
enables further understanding, allows us to work creatively and enhances
our disciplines.
The Faculty of Arts and Humanities will support up to two applicants for
the current round of Leverhulme Early Career Fellowships, in one or more
of the following fields: Archaeology, English, History, Philosophy,
Music, Modern Languages and Cultures, and Interdisciplinary Biblical
Studies. We are also interested in interdisciplinary projects focussing
on 1) Digital Humanities and 2) Creative Arts/Practice. Applicants with
a proven track record of research and high quality research proposals
will be selected for support on the basis of their fit with both the
Leverhulme Trust's expectations and Departmental and Faculty strategic
priorities.
Leverhulme Fellows will undertake a significant piece of publishable
work during their tenure and conduct a programme of high quality
research in line with the Leverhulme project proposal.
These are fixed-term appointments for a 36-month duration. The
Fellowship must commence between 1 September 2017 and 1 May 2018.
Appointments are dependent on the successful award of the Leverhulme
Fellowship.
If you are interested in applying, you must first check that you meet
the Leverhulme Trust's eligibility criteria.
