*Small Grant for Post-doctoral Research in Anthropology*
The Trustees of the Camel Trust invite applications for a grant of up to a
maximum of £3,000 to support outstanding post-doctoral research in the
field of social anthropology during the course of the calendar year
2015. Their
intention is to support research by a young post-doctoral scholar and to
help him or her to prepare for an academic career in anthropology and make
a significant contribution to the discipline. This could be through a
short period of post-doctoral field research, the completion of an original
academic publication, or the completion and submission of a grant
application (or any combination of these).
Eligibility:
· - Applicants must be have been formally awarded a PhD in
Anthropology from a UK university, and the degree must have been conferred
after 1st January, 2011. The terms of the Trust require that the
successful candidate should be formally or informally affiliated to a UK
university, and a short letter agreeing to such an affiliation must be
forwarded to the Trustees before the award is finally confirmed. This might
be from a prospective ‘mentor’, a former supervisor or a Head of
Department.
· - There are no restrictions on nationality.
· - Applications are invited from scholars in temporary employment or
without any formal employment, but not from those who already hold a
permanent faculty position.
· - Research on any thematic area and geographic region will be
considered.
The closing date for applications is *15 November 2014* and the proposed
research may be done at any stage between 1st January 2015 and 31st
December 2015. Applications should consist of a one page cover letter, a
short CV, a one page outline of the proposed research activity, a one page
budget, and an article/chapter-length sample of writing. In addition, the
names of two referees should be provided who may be contacted by the
Trustees. Applications, together with all the documentation, should be
emailed to: [log in to unmask]
The successful applicant will be contacted by the end of December 2014. If
you have not heard from us by early January 2015 you should assume that
your application was not successful. By the end of the grant period (that
is, by 31th December 2015) the grant recipient will be required to submit a
short (1 page) report on their research activity along with a short account
of the fieldwork conducted, or a copy of the article completed or the
research application submitted.
The grant for the academic year 2013-14 went to Dr Catalina Tesar for a
project on *Body, Personhood and Wealth among Romanian Cortorari Gypsies*.
The Trustees regret that they cannot enter into any correspondence with
unsuccessful applicants or offer further advice on the form that
applications should take.
