This programme provides mid-career to senior scholars – active within the social sciences and the humanities and based in any country overseas – with the opportunity to work in the UK for four years.
The Global Professorships are awards for individuals in an institutional setting. Applications must be for new, coherent and cutting-edge projects. The Global Professorships are expected to add significant value to the UK host institutions and vice versa, and thus the projects must be significant, leading to novel and innovative collaborations. The British Academy will provide up to £900,000 per award. Further details can be found here.
The final application deadline is 27th April 2022 (this is the British Academy's deadline for applicants, including referee statement and organisational approval).
All institutions are allowed a maximum of four applications per round. For this reason, this call is being managed centrally with all applications being assessed by a panel. Anyone who wishes to apply for one of these fellowships through the School of Advanced Study should follow the process outlined below:
