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:
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

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

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

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
