SEDarc ESRC Postdoctoral Fellowships 2024 ; United Kingdom

The SEDarc Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP) is delighted to announce that we have been awarded funding from the ESRC to host Postdoctoral Fellows for the 2024-25 academic year.

Fellowships are aimed at providing a development opportunity for 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. Fellowships are for 12 months.

The funding opportunity will be open to applicants who:

• Have been awarded a PhD or have passed their viva voce with minor amendments by the application deadline of 16 May 2024 and have been awarded their PhD by the fellowship start date of 1 October 2024.
• Have no more than 12 months active postdoctoral experience since passing their viva voce (allowing for career breaks) by 16 May 2024. The period of active post-doctoral experience should be calculated from the viva voce being passed to the closing date of 16 May 2024.
