British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowships

Member Institutes of the School of Advanced Study, including the Institute of Classical Studies, are inviting proposals from suitably qualified applicants for the 2022 round of the prestigious British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowships scheme.

These grants enable early-career researchers to gain further experience of conducting research and teaching in a university environment with the aim of developing their CV and improving their prospects for obtaining permanent lecturing posts. Fellowships are for three years and cover salary, small-scale research expenses up to £6,000, and mentoring support from a SAS academic.
