Leverhulme Trust Fellowships
The School offers two Visiting Fellowships for early career scholars with generous support from the Leverhulme Trust.
The Fellowships are to be held for between nine and twelve months, to begin no later than the end of February 2013. Applicants must have been awarded their doctorate no more than eight years prior to the date of application.
Leverhulme Fellows will pursue their work in the context of an active and vigorous relationship with the multidisciplinary scholarly community within the School, and are expected to play a leading intellectual role in cross-School seminars and other programmes. Fellows will be expected to be based in the School for the duration of the fellowships, subject to occasional trips out of London for their research and any lecturing engagements.
The deadline for completed applications is now closed for this competition.
Selection process and results
All eligible applications are considered by the School's RPF Programmes Committee, with input from all 10 institute directors within the School. An offer will be made as soon as possible after the meeting.
Please note that it is not possible to give feedback to unsuccessful applicants.
