The Leverhulme Trust supports an early career fellowships scheme for postdoctoral researchers.

The fellowships are for three years and are based upon a matched funding agreement between the Trust and the host institution.

The College is keen to build upon its past success with this scheme and will be running an internal competition open to all Schools and Departments to select the best candidates to support for the 2016-17 call.
We welcome expressions of interest from applicants working on any field of research covered by the Department of History, Classics and Archaeology. A full list of staff research interests is available here:

In addition, there is a ring-fenced fellowship opportunity in Modern European History. We seek to support an exceptional candidate with expertise in any field of nineteenth- and twentieth-century continental European history. If successful in the application for a Fellowship, the appointee would have the opportunity to develop and teach advanced BA and MA option modules in the field of expertise, as well as contributing to a team-taught introductory course on the Modern (1750-1914) or Contemporary (1914-present) World.
Potential candidates should contact their preferred mentor or the relevant department in the first instance, and ideally no later than 2nd December 2016.
Candidates should work with their mentor to prepare the short pro-forma application (which can be accessed at http://www.bbk.ac.uk/staff-information/research/early-career-researchers ) and this should be returned to researchgrants@bbk.ac.uk by 13th January 2017.
