BA Advert

The School of the Arts at the University of Liverpool invites expressions of interest for the 2018/19 British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowships scheme.

These awards offer opportunities for outstanding early career researchers to strengthen their experience of research and teaching in a university environment. Further information about the scheme, including eligibility criteria, can be found here.

Based within the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, The School of the Arts consists of five departments – School of Architecture, Department of Communication and Media, Department of English, Department of Music, and Department of Philosophy – each of which benefit from the University’s international links, its campuses in Liverpool and London, and produce world-leading and internationally excellent research. Our aim is to achieve and maintain the highest standard in research excellence while pursuing fruitful civic engagements, collaborative relationships and opportunities for knowledge exchange.

Those interested in applying for a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship with the School of the Arts are invited to submit expressions of interest to the Research & Impact Team (sotares@liverpool.ac.uk) by 12 noon on Wednesday 15th August 2018, consisting of:

  • 2-page outline of the research proposal, including intended publication outputs
  • CV (2 pages max) and a list of publications (1 page max)
  • 150-word abstract
  • Identification of potential mentor in the proposed host Department

Applicants to be supported by the School will be informed by 24th August. All shortlisted candidates will be invited to attend a workshop (date to be confirmed), which will include presentations and advice about the scheme. Following the workshop, candidates will be invited to send a full draft application for peer-review and selection by a cross-Faculty panel. Candidates selected to put an application forward to the British Academy with support from the University of Liverpool will be notified by 24th September, ahead of the BA submission deadline of 17th October.
