Bourses postdoc pour séjour au Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities - University of Cambridge
British Academy International Fellowship
The International Fellowships Programme provides support for outstanding early career researchers to make a first step towards developing an independent research career through gaining experience across international borders. Each award is expected to involve a specific and protected research focus with the award holder undertaking high quality, original research.
This scheme is jointly run by the British Academy and the Royal Society.
Aims
The overarching aim of the International Fellowships Programme is to attract and retain emerging talent in the UK and build a globally connected, mobile research and innovation workforce. The objectives are to:
Attract talented international early career researchers to establish and conduct their research in the UK;
Support early career researchers to pursue high-quality and innovative lines of research;
Provide opportunities to acquire and transfer new skills and knowledge through training and career development;
Foster long-term relationships through networking opportunities and the International Fellowships alumni programme
Submitting an application via CRASSH
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.
You should be aware that we typically receive a large number of applications at CRASSH; due to the limited amount of workspace available, we 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 interests 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 we run at CRASSH.
Financement
The International Fellowships offer support for two years and the award is offered at 80% FEC. Applicants may apply for research expenses of up to £12,000 and relocation costs of up to £8,000. Applicants will need to justify the level of research expenses and relocation costs requested in their application.
Applicants may also be eligible to receive follow on Alumni funding following the tenure of their Fellowship to support networking activities with UK-based or international researchers.
Pour postuler
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.
Applications must be emailed to Dr Russell Re Manning, Deputy Centre Administrator, at rrm24@cam.ac.uk by 12:00 noon BST on Friday 7 February 2025. This is the internal deadline for applications to be assessed and selected for submission to the British Academy, which will have a deadline of 17:00 GMT on 13 March 2024.
