Description

The Centre for Advanced Studies announces the next in our series of Early Career events, specifically aimed at late-stage PhD students and those who have recently obtained their doctorate but are not yet in a permanent academic post, for the faculties of Arts and Social Sciences.

The session will:

  • explore research funding opportunities with a specific focus on fellowships covering British Academy, Leverhulme Trust, relevant ESRC/AHRC schemes and internal opportunities;
  • provide an overview of internal support available for early career researchers;
