Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellowships

The Warwick University History Department is keen to encourage new research and support postdoctoral projects; potential applicants for this scheme are always welcome to approach us. In preparation for a possible bid, we recommend that each candidate considers the following:

• The eligibility criteria and application procedures outlined on the Leverhulme Trust website;

• How your research and teaching plans fit with the Department’s profile;

• Which member(s) of the Department's academic staff that would be particularly interested in the work proposed, with a view to seeking their advice and endorsement ahead of submission;

• The highly competitive nature of this process and the small number of applications the Department will be able to endorse;

• Other possible funding schemes where Warwick could act as the host institution.
