Scholarship Description
The Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities (CRASSH) is delighted to announce the first year of a five-year programme of interdisciplinary postdoctoral research fellowships funded jointly by the Mellon Foundation and the Isaac Newton Trust.
Applications are invited for two 2-year interdisciplinary Post-doctoral Research Fellowships aimed at researchers working in any field of the arts, social sciences or humanities, starting in October 2011.
The Mellon/Newton Interdisciplinary Postdoctoral Research Fellowships will be run on the Basis of Equality of Opportunity. The fellowships will enable post-doctoral fellows to consolidate their research and publication record while developing a related project or initiative at CRASSH during their two-year fellowship.
Eligibility
Applicants must have completed the PhD and should normally have been awarded it not more than three years prior to taking up their fellowship.
