Research Fellowships

at the School of Advanced Study

The School of Advanced Study is pleased to announce the creation of a new category of fellowships, intended for academic staff in the federal University of London. The Fellowships are 4-month appointments, designed to provide relief from teaching and administration in order to give academic staff dedicated research time not otherwise available to them within the research leave arrangements of their College. The Fellowships are available to staff of any grade in permanent academic posts at Colleges of the University of London in a discipline of the Humanities and Social Sciences relevant to any Institute of the School of Advanced Study (see below). Fellowships are not remunerated. The School will provide £5,000 (paid to the College or Department, as appropriate) towards buy-out of teaching. Fellows will have access to a desk and appropriate facilities, in shared office space in the School. Fellows will normally be expected to give a seminar in the Dean’s seminar series, and will be expected to contribute to the life of the School in other relevant ways.

Application and Contact Details

Applicants will be required to submit a research proposal (max. 1,500 words). The research to be pursued may be a new project or a more mature one: a defined research output is assumed as the goal of the research but it is not required that this would immediately follow the Fellowship. The project proposal should indicate the contribution to the project expected from the proposed period of research leave. Applications must be on the appropriate form, including a brief cv and the names of two academic referees. Applications require the endorsement of the applicant’s head of department.

The closing date for applications for the first appointments, expected to be for the period January-April 2007, is 30 April 2006.
