The University of Leeds Arts and Humanities Research Institute (LAHRI), in collaboration with Special Collections is offering a Brotherton Fellowship for an early career researcher to work with the South Bank Show Production Archive.
The South Bank Show is a longstanding, popular British arts television show broadcast on the ITV network for over 30 years. Melvyn Bragg's name is synonymous with the South Bank Show as its long-serving presenter and editor. The Production Archive (1978-2010) is an internationally significant unique audio-visual collection, donated to the University of Leeds in 2015. Copyright is owned by ITV.
The fellowship is designed exclusively for early career researchers to make use of the South Bank Show production archive and to help maximise external funding opportunities, particularly for post-doctoral research.
The successful applicant will carry out research activities aimed at exploiting the potential of the collection for research and developing the fellow’s research career. This might include collaborative events with other academics or external partners, or working with other colleagues at the University to develop strong applications to externally-funded post-doctoral positions (e.g. British Academy Post-Doctoral Fellowships; Leverhulme Early-Career Fellowships; Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions; Newton Fellowships, Marie Curie Fellowships, Wellcome Trust Research Fellowships, NERC Research Fellowships).
The fellow is awarded £5,000. This can be used to fund living expenses, travel and subsistence expenses, and/ or digitisation expenses.
