Major Research Fellowships provide replacement teaching costs over two or three years, to allow academics in the humanities and social sciences to focus on a specific piece of original research. These awards enable well-established and distinguished researchers in the humanities and social sciences to devote themselves to a single research project of outstanding originality and significance, capable of completion within two or three years. Candidates should state explicitly what the proposed outcomes of the award will be. Fellowships are particularly aimed at those who are or have been prevented by routine duties from completing a programme of original research. ValueThe Fellowships fund the salary costs (normally starting at the most junior point of the lecturer scale at the institution concerned) of an individual to undertake the normal duties of the applicant for the duration of the Fellowship. A Major Research Fellow may also request research expenses up to an annual maximum of 瞿6,000. If such funds are required they must be requested as part of the application procedure. |

The Leverhulme Trust invites applications for its visiting professorships. These enable UK institutions to host distinguished researchers from overseas, primarily to enhance the skills of academic staff or students at the host institution. Visiting professors may also wish to use the opportunity to further their own academic interests and visit more than one UK institution. Any field of research is eligible, excluding studies of disease, illness and disabilities in humans and animals, and research that is intended to inform clinical practice or the development of medical applications. Applications must be made by a member of academic staff, based in a UK university or other HEI, who will be responsible for co-ordinating the visit. Priority is given to new or recent collaborative ventures. Funding is worth between 瞿10,000 and 瞿150,000 and covers maintenance, travel expenses and research costs of visits that last between three and 12 months. Travel within the UK, laboratory consumables and essential technical assistance may also be covered. |
