To honour the life and work of William St Clair, the St Clair family has 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 Institutes of Classical Studies, English Studies, and Languages, Cultures and Societies, 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 Fellows will be based in the Institutes of Classical Studies, English Studies, and Languages, Cultures and Societies, as appropriate.

 

Full details of the scheme can be found here. The call for applications is now closed.
