Leverhulme Trust | Research Fellowships

About

Research Fellowships are open to experienced researchers, particularly those who are or have been prevented by routine duties from completing a programme of original research. Priority will be given to applicants whose teaching and administrative duties have significantly impacted their ability to undertake research in the three years prior to their application.

Value

The maximum value of a Fellowship is £70,000.

Duration

Fellowships are tenable for between 3 and 24 months.

Eligibility

Applicants must:

• hold a post in a UK university with research degree awarding powers that will extend beyond the duration of the Fellowship
• be experienced researchers, particularly those prevented by routine duties from undertaking or completing a research programme
• be resident in the United Kingdom at the time of application
• be a permanent member of the UK scholarly community and able to demonstrate an established track record in their chosen area of research

Priority will be given to applicants whose teaching and administrative duties have significantly impacted their ability to undertake research in the three years prior to their application. Projects with an international research focus are welcome.

Candidates who have held a Research Fellowship may apply for a second award, but at least seven years should have elapsed since the previous successful application. Candidates who have held an International Fellowship are eligible to apply if at least three years have elapsed between their application for the International Fellowship and the Research Fellowship.
