Postdoctoral and Research Fellowships
The School of Politics and International Relations welcomes independently-funded postdoctoral and research fellows who wish to work with our staff on areas of mutual research interest.
There are various external sources of funding for postdoctoral and research fellowships. Applicants apply directly to the funder, but will receive support from the School in making the application. Potential applicants should in the first instance contact the Research Manager who can provide assistance with completing the application (e.g., on costings) and will consult members of academic staff with relevant expertise in the applicant's research area.
Applications for all funding schemes must be approved by the Head of School. It is therefore expected that applicants will submit a finalised application to the School at least two weeks in advance of any advertised funding deadline.
For certain funding agencies, we may ask for expressions of interest (i.e., a partially complete application) in advance and by a specific deadline. In this case, details on how to apply will be provided below and shared via jobs.ac.uk and EURAXESS.
Applicants should make initial contact with the Research Manager at least six weeks before a funding deadline.
