BRITISH ACADEMY INTERNATIONAL FELLOWSHIP

Leave a comment

Application Deadline:  12:00 noon BST on Friday, 7 February 2025

LOCATION: United Kingdom

The Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities (CRASSH) at the University of Cambridge welcomes applications for the British Academy International Fellowship scheme.

The British Academy International Fellowship is a two-year initiative aimed at attracting and retaining emerging talent in the UK to create a globally connected and mobile research workforce. 

ELIGIBILITY:

Applicants should ensure that they meet the following requirements:

Have a PhD, or applicants in the final stages of their PhD will be accepted provided that the PhD will be completed (including viva) before the start date of the Fellowship. Confirmation of award of the PhD will be required before any Fellowship award is confirmed.

Applicants should have no more than seven years of active full time postdoctoral experience at the time of application (discounting career breaks, but including teaching experience and/or time spent in industry).

Be working outside the UK.

Not hold UK citizenship.

Be competent in oral and written English.

Have a clearly defined and mutually-beneficial research proposal agreed with a UK host researcher.

You may apply for a British Academy International Fellowship via CRASSH if your project is strongly interdisciplinary in approach, to the extent that it would not fit easily into another department, faculty, or centre in Cambridge. In your application, you will be expected to justify why Cambridge and CRASSH are the best fit for your proposal.

Applications should consist of the following:

A two-page CV, including the dates on which you had your PhD viva and on which you were awarded the PhD.

A list of publications (not exceeding one side).

A completed internal selection form.

The name and contact details of one referee, preferably based in the UK, who is not your mentor or PhD supervisor.

You should be aware that they typically receive a large number of applications at CRASSH; due to the limited amount of workspace available, they can only forward a small selection of these to the British Academy. If there is another department/faculty/centre at Cambridge that would provide a suitable home, it may be in your interest to apply to be hosted there. If you are successful in your application with another department/faculty/centre at Cambridge, you will always be welcome to take part in the full range of activities they run at CRASSH.

BENEFIT:

This program seeks to draw talented international early career researchers to conduct their research in the UK, support them in pursuing high-quality and innovative projects, and provide employment opportunities for career development.
