Call for ESRC GUDTP Postdoctoral Fellowships

Deadline: 23 March 2022 (noon GMT)

ESRC Postdoctoral Fellowships

The Grand Union Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP) is pleased to invite applications for ESRC-funded postdoctoral Fellowships to commence 1 October 2022. They will be based at one of our partner institutions: Brunel University London, The Open University or the University of Oxford.

Who can apply?

Fellowships are aimed at 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. Proposals are welcome from single or multi-disciplinary backgrounds, but the fellowship activities must be aligned to one of the Grand Union DTP’s 23 thematic pathways and based at least 50% within the social sciences. The DTP expects to award up to six Fellowships.

Eligibility

The call is open to applicants who have completed their PhD at a research organisation that is part of an ESRC-funded DTP. At the application deadline (23 March 2022), the applicant must either have been awarded a PhD or have submitted their thesis and passed their viva voce with minor corrections, with the expectation that the PhD will be awarded by the fellowship start date.
