Leverhulme Early Career Fellowships

Leverhulme Early Career Fellowships 

Call for applications

History Research Centre at Manchester Metropolitan University


https://www.leverhulme.ac.uk/funding/grant-schemes/early-career-fellowships/



Our History Research Centre (situated in the department of History, Politics and Philosophy) boasts a number of world-leading and internationally renowned researchers who will act as mentors for a wide

range of projects across global and regional History, including pre-historic Britain, classical Antiquity, ancient North Africa and South-East Asia, the Medieval world, nineteenth-century America, nineteenth

century China, and post-war Germany. Our History Research Centre is organised around thematic research clusters and our expertise ranges across History, Classics, Archaeology, epigraphy and

papyrology, and Heritage.



We welcome projects that align with the expertise of any of our key thematic research clusters:
  • Materiality, Archaeology and Antiquity
  • Histories and Cultures of Conflict
  • Minority Histories: Race, Gender, Sexuality and Identity


We also welcome projects which would resonate with the activities of our Manchester Centre for Public History and Heritage, and our interdisciplinary Manchester Centre for Youth Studies. Our

research activity, projects, and staff profiles in History can be viewed here: https://www.mmu.ac.uk/research/research-centres/history


These prestigious awards intend to provide the holders with an opportunity to undertake a significant project of original research and to develop their academic career. The fellowships are for three years

and are based upon a matched funding agreement between the Trust and the host institution.


How to apply

Potential applicants should read the Leverhulme Trust’s guidance to applicants. All applicants must be able to demonstrate that they are eligible to apply for the Fellowship. Applicants are typically

expected to be within four years of their PhD award, and must either hold a degree from a UK higher education institution at the time of taking up the Fellowship or at the time of the application deadline

must hold an academic position in the UK (e.g. fixed-term post) which commenced no less than four months prior to the closing date.


Potential applicants to Manchester Metropolitan should contact in the first instance both Dr April Pudsey (a.pudsey@mmu.ac.uk) and their preferred mentor, who will advise and support an

Expression of Interest.

Our internal applications process is as follows. Applicants will work with their proposed mentor to prepare the internal application, which comprises: an academic CV and a detailed

Expression of Interest form we will provide, following closely the Leverhulme Trust’s Applicant Help notes in their Full Scheme Details: https://www.leverhulme.ac.uk/early-career-fellowships


The deadline for this internal process to be complete is 5pm on Monday 7th November 2022. An internal competition will take place in late November 2022 and candidates will be informed of the

outcome shortly thereafter. Any applicant(s) whom we support will then be assisted in submitting their application to the Leverhulme Trust in advance of the deadline of 23rd February 2023.
