LOCATION: England

As they celebrate their 90th anniversary in 2024, they are delighted to announce a new research partnership with the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities (IASH) at the University of Edinburgh. They are awarding two 12-month fellowships starting in January 2025 – open to postdoctoral researchers based in any ODA (Official Development Assistance) recipient country where the British Council operates (see ‘Eligibility’ section below).

ELIGIBILITY:

These are early-career fellowships, meaning applicants must be within seven years of completion of their PhD.

Applicants must be based in an ODA recipient country in which the British Council operates, and should be qualified to undertake postdoctoral level research for the fellowship.

See the full list of eligible countries on the program website

BENEFIT:

The fellowship provides a bursary of £2,500 per month and travel expenses as well as desk space, library access and academic mentoring as part of the vibrant scholarly community of visiting fellows at IASH. Fellows will also be expected to engage closely with the British Council throughout their fellowships (including visits to UK offices), with the option to spend time in a British Council office in their home country as part of the knowledge exchange component of the fellowship.

This is a three-year partnership. Over the coming years, additional rounds of fellowships – starting in January 2026 and January 2027 – will be awarded as part of the same programme.

CAVENDISH ARTS SCIENCE FELLOWSHIP AT GIRTON COLLEGE

Leave a comment

Application Deadline: Sunday 19 May, 23:59 British Summer Time (GMT+1). 

LOCATION: England

The Fellowship supports the Cavendish Arts Science ethos of experimenting, decentring and re-imagining. It is designed for artists to develop thought-provoking ideas through engagement with physicists and those in other fields, and to experiment with new approaches to their practice that are transformative and push boundaries.

ELIGIBILITY:

This unique collaborative opportunity is open to artists internationally and is not confined to any single aesthetic, theme or medium.

Artists with no previous experience of working with scientists or in a scientific environment are particularly encouraged to apply.

They are seeking adventurous artists who explore alternative ways of knowing the world, and who work with communities that are not privileged in the mainstream. The Fellowship offers opportunities for playful experimentation, and the space to re-imagine beyond conventional artistic and scientific boundaries.

The one-year Fellowship will begin in October 2024 and end in October 2025.

BENEFIT:

The Fellowship includes a residency period in Cambridge, typically of at least six months up to one year. Exact dates of the residency period are flexible and will be agreed with the selected artist.

Financial Support

A stipend of 10,000 GBP(£) will be paid to the successful candidate. This amount includes all taxes and is a contribution towards the artist’s living costs and expenses 

Rent-free accommodation and meals will be provided at Girton College during the residency period in Cambridge

A production budget of 10,000 GBP(£) will be made available to support the development of new work

A travel budget of up to 3,000 GBP(£) (depending on where the artist is based) will be available to support the cost of travel to/from Cambridge during the Fellowship
