FellowshipsStudy Abroad StudentshipsStudy Abroad Studentships support an extended period of advanced study or research at a centre of learning in any overseas country, with the exception of the USA. Applicants must have been resident in the UK for at least 5 years at the time of application; hold an undergraduate degree from a UK higher education institution or be able to show evidence of equivalent education in the UK; either be a student at the time of application or have been registered as a student within the last 8 years; and explain why their work requires residence overseas. Early Career FellowshipsEarly Career Fellowships aim to provide career development opportunities for those who are at a relatively early stage of their academic careers but with a proven record of research. It is anticipated that a Fellowship will lead to a more permanent academic position. Applications are welcomed in any discipline, and approximately 70 Fellowships will be available in 2011. Fellowships can be held at universities or at other institutions of higher education in the UK. Research FellowshipsResearch Fellowships are open to experienced researchers, particularly those who are or have been prevented by routine duties from completing a programme of original research. There are no restrictions on academic discipline, and awards are not limited to those holding appointments in higher education. Applicants must be resident in the UK at the time of application; should be able to demonstrate experience and academic background sufficient to confirm their ability to complete the proposed programme of research; and may not be registered for a degree, for doctoral studies, or for professional or vocational qualifications. Study Abroad FellowshipsStudy Abroad Fellowships are designed to support a period overseas in a stimulating academic environment. These differ from the Trust’s Research Fellowships in that the awards support a range of activities other than straight-forward research (e.g. the exchange of ideas, the development of new lines of research and collaborative ventures). Applicants must be resident in the UK at the time of application; should have held an established full-time post in a UK institution of higher education, or in a museum, art gallery or comparable institution for at least five years; and may not be registered for a degree, for doctoral studies, or for professional or vocational qualifications. Major Research Fellowships in the Humanities and Social SciencesThese awards enable well-established and distinguished researchers in the disciplines of the Humanities and Social Sciences to devote themselves to a single research project of outstanding originality and significance, capable of completion within two or three years. The award is made to the institution at which the successful Fellow is employed, and takes the form of providing a replacement staff member to cover the period of the Fellowship. Emeritus FellowshipsEmeritus Fellowships assist senior established researchers to complete a research project and to prepare the results for publication. Applicants must be resident in the UK at the time of application; should hold or have held a teaching and/or research post at a university or comparable institution in the UK at the point of retirement; and should have retired by the time of taking up the Fellowship and no longer have a normal contract of employment. Visiting FellowshipsThe Trust Board offer Visiting Fellowships to a number of UK universities to enable them to invite one or two visitors to the UK for the purpose of research and collaboration. Universities not on the rota of institutions selected by the Board may not apply directly to the Trust under this scheme. |
