The George Washington Wilson Centre for Visual Culture at the University of Aberdeen invites expressions of interest from researchers working on visual culture who are intending to apply to the 2015 round of the Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship scheme. Launched in 2013, GWW brings together Aberdeen researchers with interests in film, photography, visual culture and visual art from a range of disciplines, including Film Studies, Modern Languages, History of Art and Comparative Cultural Studies. It organises seminars, workshops and reading groups, and maintains a blog exploring visual culture in its diversity:

Researchers interested in applying for a Leverhulme ECF with us should submit a 1000-word outline of their proposed research project, setting out significance and originality; aims and objectives; research questions; and proposed outputs. Project outlines should be submitted by Monday 5 January 2015 to the GWW Director, Professor Edward Welch ([log in to unmask]), to whom informal enquiries can also be made. Decisions on supporting applications will be made by Monday 12 January 2015, with applications then undergoing Aberdeen's internal peer review process. The deadline for submission of applications to the Leverhulme Trust is Thursday 5 March 2015.
