Leverhulme Early Career Fellowships – SALC welcomes outline applications by Friday, 13 November
The School of Arts, Languages and Cultures (SALC) is supporting applications to the 2027 round of the Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship scheme. Each subject area within SALC may put forward up to two applications.
Potential applicants should first contact their proposed mentor. In consultation with the applicant, the proposed mentor will then submit an expression of interest to the University’s internal sift. The expression of interest should include details of the applicant’s career stage, educational background, and proposed project.
Proposed projects must be clearly distinct from the research undertaken for the applicant’s PhD. Successful past applicants have typically already published work arising from their doctoral research and have presented genuinely original projects for the Leverhulme scheme.
Applicants, supervisors, and department research coordinators will be informed as soon as possible of the outcome of the internal sift. Selected applicants will then be expected to complete the full application for submission to the Leverhulme Trust by the external deadline of Thursday, 18 February 2027.
