REMINDER: The Faculty of Music at the University of Oxford invites proposals from those interested in applying for a Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship. Up to two such Fellowships in Music, of three years' duration will be offered, funded jointly by The Leverhulme Trust and the John Fell Fund of the University of Oxford.
Applications in any field of music/musicology are welcome.
Leverhulme Early Career Fellowships are aimed at supporting those at a relatively early stage of their academic careers but with a proven record of research. Applicants must have submitted their doctoral thesis no more than four years before the closing date, i.e. not before 2 March 2013, unless there has been a career break. Fellowships are tenable for three years on a full-time basis. Requests to hold the award part-time over a proportionately longer period may also be considered. Applicants must not hold or have held a permanent academic position in a UK university or comparable institution, and must have a doctorate or equivalent research experience. Those registered for a doctorate must have submitted their thesis by the closing date. The Leverhulme online application process will open on 1 January 2017 and its deadline for the 2017 competition will be 4 p.m. on 2 March 2017.
For more information on the scheme, and eligibility please visit the Faculty of Music website<http://www.music.ox.ac.uk/leverhulme-early-career-fellowships-2017-application-process/>.
Expressions of interest should be sent to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> by 9 a.m. on Monday 9 January 2017, consisting of one PDF document containing:
1. a one-page CV including education, publications, any awards, thesis title and examiners;
2. a two-page draft statement of research (which may use headings similar to those in the Leverhulme scheme's notes of guidance);
3. a 150-word abstract summarising the research for a general audience;
4. an indication of any additional research expenses that may be needed for the proposed project, such as travel and subsistence.
A selection process internal to the Faculty of Music will then determine which proposals go forward to a full application to Leverhulme.
Best wishes,
Catherine
