*The Leverhulme Trust - Early Career Fellowships, 2016*

Brunel plans to support a number of Leverhulme Trust Early Career 
Fellowship applications in the 2016 competition. Applications for this 
competition require the support of a member of Brunel staff who is 
willing to act as mentor. There will be an internal competition to 
decide which applications will be put forward under the scheme, so 
applicants should not approach The Leverhulme Trust directly at this stage.

The Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellowship scheme is aimed at scholars 
who are at a relatively early stage of their academic careers and who 
have a proven record of research. Applicants must hold an awarded 
doctorate (or have equivalent research experience), and must not hold or 
have held a permanent academic position in a UK university or comparable 
institution. Candidates must check that they are eligible for the scheme 
before proceeding with the application process described below. More 
information can be found on the *Leverhulme Trust website*

<https://cas.brunel.ac.uk/owa/redir.aspx?SURL=RpwgMTs8qpCu9KHoMtrr2EIN558E3f10VhSAqv5yClJVpNA8uwfTCG0AYQBpAGwAdABvADoAagBvAC4AbABhAGsAZQB5AEAAYgByAHUAbgBlAGwALgBhAGMALgB1AGsA&URL=mailto%3ajo.lakey%40brunel.ac.uk>) 
by the deadline above.

*THE SELECTION PROCESS*

No interviews will be held; selection will be made on the basis of 
application materials alone. All applications will be considered by a 
group of senior staff who will have final responsibility for deciding 
which candidates will be put forward to the Leverhulme Trust. In 
assessing applications, the group will be guided by the quality of the 
proposed research project, by its relevance to Brunel’s research 
priorities, and by the applicant’s potential to produce published work 
which is internationally excellent in terms of originality, significance 
and rigour. The group will also bear in mind the Leverhulme Trust’s 
emphasis on the originality of the project, the significance of the 
project, the ability to judge and take appropriate risks in the project 
and the removal of barriers between traditional disciplines.

We aim to inform successful candidates by Friday 15^th January 2016. 
Successful candidates will be expected to work closely with their 
prospective mentor to prepare a final version of their application and 
will be provided with additional support from the Research Support and 
Development Office. The application must be submitted to the University 
by 16^th February 2016 for final assessment, prior to the Leverhulme 
Trust submission date of 10^th March 2016.
