The Leverhulme Trust invites applications for its major research fellowships in the humanities and social sciences. These enable well-established researchers in the disciplines of the humanities and social sciences to devote themselves to a single research project.
Applicants must be employed by a university or other institute of higher education in the UK. They must be able to demonstrate scholarship at the highest level, but need not already be of professorial standing.
Fellowships are awarded for two to three years. They cover salary costs for an individual to undertake the normal duties of the fellow, as well as research expenses worth up to £6,000 per year.
