The Department of Modern Languages and Cultures at the University of Liverpool invites applications for the ESRC Postdoctoral Fellowship Scheme as part of the Language-Based Area Studies Pathway (Latin American Studies).
We are one of the longest established and most broadly-based centres for the study of Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American Studies in the UK. Research at Liverpool is characterised by wide-ranging interests in the national and global dimensions of Latin American Studies, with a particular emphasis on social science, historical and cultural studies research.
The Postdoctoral Fellowship (PDF) Scheme is aimed at providing a career development opportunity for those in the immediately postdoctoral stage of their career, to provide the opportunity to consolidate their PhD through developing publications, their networks, and their research and professional skills.
The ESRC have awarded funding to the NWSSDTP to support seven Postdoctoral Fellowships per annum, which must take place at one of the NWSSDTP institutions, including the University of Liverpool.
The call is open to applicants who have completed their PhD at a research organisation that is part of a DTP or CDT (not necessarily the NWSSDTP) and who are within 12 months of completing their PhD.
The call for October 2019 entry is now live, with a deadline of the 16:00 on the 22nd March 2019.
