The Institute for Advanced Studies at the University of Edinburgh invites applications for postdoctoral bursaries from candidates in any area of the Humanities and Social Sciences. The work must fall in the scope of one of the Institute for Advanced Studies’ Research Strands and/or across disciplinary boundaries in the Humanities. The deadline for application is 3 June 2013.
The bursaries are tenable for Fellowships of three to nine months, in the period 1 September 2013 – 31 August 2014. Awards will be up to a maximum of £10,000. The bursary may be used to top up an existing postdoctoral Fellowship or as a contribution towards living expenses.
All Fellows of the Institute are expected to take part in the Institute’s research programme and to offer a paper in one of the research seminars during their Fellowship. 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.
Applicants are warmly welcomed from both within and beyond the University of Edinburgh. They must have been awarded a doctorate, normally within the last three years, and should not have held a permanent position at a university, or a previous Fellowship at the Institute for Advanced Studies.
The closing date for the receipt of applications is 3 June 2013. Decisions will be communicated in July.
