British Academy Visiting Fellowships
The next closing date for the Newton International Fellowships scheme is 12 January 2009. Overseen by the British Academy, The Royal Academy of Engineering and the Royal Society, this scheme aims to improve links between overseas researchers and UK scholars through the provision of two-year research fellowships in the UK for foreign scholars.
The Academy's Visiting Fellowship scheme, launched in 2005, enables early-career scholars from overseas to apply directly to the Academy, in conjunction with their UK hosts, for research visits to the UK of two to six months. The main purpose of the visit should be to enable the visitor to pursue research.
The UK host must be resident in the UK, and must undertake to make all the necessary practical and administrative arrangements for the visit. The Academy grants the title of British Academy Visiting Fellow and awards funding for the visit.
BA/ESRC Chinese Visiting Fellowships: Funds from the Academy and the ESRC have been earmarked to support applicants from China. See below for links to application forms and further details for both the UK Host and the Visiting Fellow.
Third round of BA/AHRC/ESRC earmarked funding for South Asia and the Middle East: Funds have been earmarked under the exisiting scheme to support applicants from South Asia and the Middle East. Scholars granted awards from this funding will be given the title British Academy-AHRC-ESRC Visiting Fellow. For further details please visit the BA/AHRC/ESRC Visiting Fellowships for South Asia and the Middle East Guide to Awards.
Financial basis of the scheme: Grants are provided to a maximum of £7,500 and are intended to cover travel and subsistence costs for the Visiting Fellow for the duration of their stay.
Closing date: 12 January 2009 for visits to take place during the financial year 1 April 2009 to 31 March 2010.
Eligibility: British Academy Fellowships are designed for early-career postdoctoral scholars. Applicants must normally have obtained their doctorates after 1 January 2003. (Academics without a PhD must demonstrate equivalent status.)
