The Leverhulme Trust is delighted to offer the Early Career Fellowships for the talented students across the United Kingdom.

The Fellowships are intended to assist those at a relatively early stage of their academic careers, and it is hoped that the appointment would lead to a more permanent position for the individual, either within the same or another institution.

Fellowships are tenable for 3 years on a full-time basis. The Trust will support requests to hold the award part-time over a proportionately longer period for health-related reasons, disability or childcare commitments.

Application Deadline: Applicants must submit all required application materials until 23 February 2023.

Brief Description

• Study Subject (s): Applications will be considered in all subject areas.
• Course Level: Fellowships are available to complete a research project.
• Scholarship Provider: The Leverhulme Trust
• Scholarship can be taken at the UK

 

Eligibility 

Applicants must not yet have held a full-time permanent academic post in a UK university or comparable UK institution, nor may Fellows hold such a post concurrently with the Early Career Fellowship. The Trust will consider applications from candidates whose permanent post does not include any research.

Those in receipt of a stipendiary Fellowship may not hold this at the same time as an Early Career Fellowship.

How to Apply: To make an application, access the Leverhulme Trust Grants Management System.

Benefits

Approximately 145 Fellowships are available each year. The Trust will contribute 50% of each Fellow’s total salary costs up to a maximum of £25,000 per year and the balance is to be paid by the host institution. Each Fellow may request annual research expenses of up to £6,000 per year to further his or her research activities.
