Previous postdoctoral members of the Department have gone on to teaching posts in universities across the UK and abroad.

The BA Postdoctoral fellowship scheme for a start date in 2025Ìýwill open in July 2024 and the deadline for Stage One outline applications is likely to be in early October 2024.

  • Applicants must not yet have held a full-time established academic post in a UK university or comparable UK institution, nor may Fellows hold such a post concurrently with the Early Career Fellowship.

  • Applications are invited from those with a doctorate who had their doctoral viva not more than five years from the application closing date.
  • Applicants must either hold a degree from a UK higher education institution at the time of taking up the Fellowship or at the time of application hold an academic position in the UK (e.g. fixed-term lectureship, fellowship).

Applicants must be supported by the Department, and matched funding is provided by the Faculty of Arts & Humanities at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø, who will make the final decisions on which applications to put forward to the Leverhulme Trust. Please get in touch with the member of staff who most closely matches your research interests to discuss your application, or contact the departmental Director of Research with an academic CV and a one-page outline of your project in the first instance. The Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø deadline is in mid-November, but applicants are advised to be in touch with the Department by the end of July. Selected candidates will be offered academic guidance by their potential mentor and the support of faculty facilitators.
