Are you a mid-career researcher with a highly original research idea which takes a new approach and suggests new solutions to real world social problems? Then you might be interested in applying for a fellowship from the Independent Social Research Foundation. The deadline is Friday 19 February 2016. For more information and to apply, check the ISRF website.
The award is intended to enable a scholar at the mid-career stage to pursue his/her research full-time, for a period of up to 12 months. The amount will be offered to buy out the costs of replacing all teaching and associated administration in the applicant’s home institution, and will be considered to a maximum of £60,000 per successful applicant. Within that sum, reasonable support for research expenses may be considered on a matched-funding basis with the host institution.
Scholars from within Europe are eligible to apply. The applicant should normally hold a salaried position at an institution of higher education and research, and be 10 years or more from the year of their PhD award. However, a shorter time from PhD award may exceptionally be considered, if the candidate has other qualifications to be considered as mid-career.
