Leave a comment

Application Deadline: Friday 1 November 2024, 12pm GMT

LOCATION: United Kingdom

The British Council Scotland SGSAH EARTH Scholarships 2025 is a program run by SGSAH with funding from the British Council to enable international research collaborations between PhD and Early Career Researchers and Scottish HEIs and Scotland-based academic mentors, and external organizations, thematically focused on environmental arts and humanities and their interdisciplinary connections. 

ELIGIBILITY:

The Programme is for PhD and early career researchers (ECRs) registered at or graduated from any non-UK university who are working within the environmental arts and humanities to come to Scotland to work with an academic mentor and access networks and resources of a host HEI (Higher Education Institute) in 2025.

All applicants must be currently registered for a PhD, or graduated with a PhD, which broadly falls under Arts & Humanities subject areas. These subject areas are detailed by the AHRC. Research proposals must also fall into Arts & Humanities subject areas. For any interdisciplinary PhDs, at least 50% of the project must fall within Arts & Humanities disciplines. The programme strongly encourages research project proposals that have interdisciplinarity approaches beyond the Arts & Humanities.

For the purposes of the Programme, ECRs must be within 1 year of notification of award of their PhD (under exceptional circumstances this can be extended to 2 years – see the scheme Guidelines for full detail).

BENEFIT:

Applicants will benefit from the following;

Full financial support, including travel, accommodation, and living expenses.

Research funding for international collaborations in environmental arts and humanities.

Access to mentorship from top Scottish academics and cultural organizations.

Opportunities for international research exchanges with Scottish universities.

Involvement in interdisciplinary research across STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics).

Expansion of professional networks and career development.

Focus on addressing the global climate crisis through innovative research methods.
