1 month ago

Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom Northumbria University Full time
Northumbria University are inviting expressions of interest from early-career researchers who are interested in collaborating with our Faculty of Arts, Design, and Social Sciences or Faculty of Business and Law, on original and high-quality research through the Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellowship .

The scheme offers funding for outstanding early-career researchers who have not held a full-time permanent post in a UK university. Fellowships are funded for three years, with research expenses of up to £6,000 p.a.

Our collegiate research environment supports a thriving cohort of early career academics, including those who have been supported by Leverhulme and are currently carrying out original research on an array of topics. The university has been awarded over £2.5M from Leverhulme since 2018 and we are looking to support new applications in the following departments:
  • Humanities
  • Social Sciences
  • School of Design, Arts and Creative Industries (see also the following links: Arts and Design )
  • Newcastle Business School
  • Northumbria Law School

Applicants should contact a member of staff to establish whether their research aligns with specific areas of expertise within a chosen dept (search staff profiles in our Research Portal ). Applicants need to clearly state the innovative aspects of their research and its relevance to the chosen department.

Important - Leverhulme do not fund studies of disease, illness and disabilities in humans and animals, research that is intended to inform clinical practice, or the development of medical or commercial applications. Research where advocacy is an explicit component or policy-driven research where the principal objective is to assemble an evidence base for policy initiatives, is also ineligible.
