British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowships 2024

The British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship is a three-year fellowship for outstanding early career researchers in the humanities and social sciences to strengthen their experience of research and teaching in a university environment, allowing them to develop their CV and improve their prospects of obtaining permanent academic posts by the end of the fellowship.  It focuses on the completion of a significant piece of publishable research and on the integration of the award’s holder into the community of established scholars within their field.
