Deadline: January 2024 | Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellowships
To carry out a substantial piece of publishable work, early career researchers with a track record in research but without a full-time permanent academic position are eligible to apply for fellowships offered by UK universities that have the authority to confer research degrees. The Fellowships are meant to help those who are still relatively new to academia, and the idea is that the appointment will eventually lead to a more permanent role at the same university or one that is different.
Worth
The program is based on a pattern of joint support, whereby the host university will contribute the remaining amount each year of the award, with the Leverhulme Trust covering 50% of the Fellow’s total salary costs (including National Insurance, superannuation, and London allowance, where applicable) up to a maximum of £26,000. Up to a maximum yearly contribution of £26,000, the Trust’s contribution will typically rise in succeeding years in accordance with pay awards and regular increments. If the Fellowship is held part-time, the maximum yearly contribution from the Trust will be prorated accordingly. To support their study, the Fellow may apply for up to £6,000 in annual research expenditures.
Time Frame
Full-time fellowships are available for three years. Requests to hold the award part-time for obligations to childcare, disability, or health-related issues for a correspondingly longer amount of time will be supported by the Trust.
