IASH Postdoctoral Bursaries

Applications are invited for postdoctoral bursaries from candidates in any area of the Humanities and Social Sciences, whose work falls within the scope of one of the Institute for Advanced Studies’ current Research Themes. Each Bursary is tenable for a period of three to nine months. The bursary may be used to top up an existing postdoctoral Fellowship (eg British Academy), or as a contribution towards living expenses. No teaching is required, but successful applicants may be able to top up the bursary by contributing, by arrangement with the appropriate Head of subject area, to undergraduate teaching programmes. Office accommodation and research facilities are provided by the Institute in a newly refurbished postdoctoral suite.

There are opportunities to participate in and to design seminars, workshops, colloquia etc at the Institute, and to collaborate with colleagues working in similar areas of research. The Institute’s arrangements particularly encourage interdisciplinary collaboration.

Application deadline is commonly in July. Visit funder website for more information.
