3 November 2023
UCL Department of Political Science has set their internal deadline for applications to 9am, on 13th November 2023. The new Economic and Social Research Council call is not out yet, but it is unlikely to change from last year (see below).
The Department of Political Science is inviting applications for the ESRC Postdoctoral Fellowship 2023/24 (please note this is conditional to the ESRC confirming funding for this call). ESRC Postdoctoral Fellowships are aimed at those in the immediate postdoctoral stage of their career to provide the opportunity to consolidate their PhD through developing publications, their networks, and their research and professional skills. Fellows must spend 100% of their working time (whether full-time or part-time) on the fellowship and cannot take any secondary paid employment during the course of the grant.
The call is open to applicants who have completed their PhD at a research organisation that is part of a Doctoral Training Centre and who are within 12 months of having completed their PhD. The 12 months period is calculated from the date of the viva (passed or passed with minor corrections) to the closing date of the full stage application, which fall approximately on 21st March 2024 (TBC). The new call is not out yet, however it is unlikely to change from last year's (please consult guidelines below).
UCL Department of Political Science have set our internal deadline at 9am, on 13th November 2023. Potential candidates should fill in the ‘Post-doctoral Fellowship Preliminary form’ (download below) and send it to polsci.research@ucl.ac.uk, copying in our Head of Research, Dr Nils Metternich, n.metternich@ucl.ac.uk.
If selected by the department, candidates will need to submit an application via the UCL’s application system, by end of January 2024 (date TBC). The department will communicate outcomes by 15th December 2023.
