The Institutes of Classical Studies (ICS), English Studies (IES), and Languages, Cultures and Societies (ILCS) are now inviting applicants for the second round of the William St Clair Fellowship.
To honour the life and work of William St Clair, the St Clair family established an Early Career funded fellowship to help support the research and professional development of early career researchers in languages, literatures and cultures.
Fellows are expected to pursue their own research during the five months of the Fellowship and to contribute to the work of the ICS, IES, and ILCS as appropriate. A distinguished independent scholar, William St Clair was a Senior Research Fellow in the Institute of English Studies, whose wide-ranging multi-disciplinary research interests encompassed literary history and biography, Romanticism, archaeology and classical antiquities, and the history of the book and publishing, particularly open-access publishing. We invite applications from early career scholars who have active research interests in any of these areas.
The Fellowship lasts five months and includes a total stipend of £10,000. Because of the nature of the funding, the applicant must be available to take up the fellowship by January 2025 at the earliest or by the end of June 2025 at the latest.
