British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowships

The Voltaire Foundation invites expressions of interest from postdoctoral and completing graduate scholars who wish to apply for the British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship scheme for entry in 2025.

The Fellowships are designed to enable outstanding, recent postdoctoral scholars in the Humanities or Social Sciences to obtain experience of research and teaching in a university environment for a period of three years, to strengthen their research and teaching track record and to improve their prospects of obtaining permanent posts by the end of the fellowship.  More information about the scheme is available on the British Academy website. There are strict eligibility requirements and potential candidates are advised to check these carefully.

Candidates who intend to apply for a BA Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Voltaire Foundation are asked to send an expression of interest, with a CV, to director Nicholas Cronk no later than 7 August 2024.

There is no guarantee that applications which arrive after the above date will be supported or processed.  Candidates selected will be contacted by the Division’s Research Facilitation team with further information on the process and timetable for submitting your application via the British Academy application system. A Divisional workshop for selected candidates will be held in early September.
