2016/17 Visiting Fellowships Scheme at University of Leeds
The School of Philosophy, Religion, and History of Science
at University of Leeds invites applications to its Non-Stipendiary Visiting
Fellowships scheme for the academic year 2016-17.
Visiting Fellows will be provided with full library and information systems
access, and with office space where possible. There are no formal duties.
Fellows will be expected to pursue their research and to participate in
seminars, reading groups, and other aspects of the research life of one or more
of the Research Centres affiliated with the School: Centre for History and
Philosophy of Science, Centre for Metaphysics and Mind, Centre for Ethics and
Metaethics, Centre for Aesthetics, Centre for Philosophy of Religion, and
Centre for Religion and Public Life.
Fellowship periods can be from a couple of months to one year. Junior and
senior applicants are equally welcome, though applicants must hold a PhD.
Proposed research projects should clearly mesh with the research interests of
members of one or more of the above Research Centres.
The School expects to be able to appoint between three and six Visiting Fellows
for 2016-17. The fellowships are non-stipendiary. The Fellows will be helped to
identify potential sources of funding for workshops or other events they might
want to organize during their fellowship at Leeds.
To apply, please send (or arrange to have sent):
– a CV;
– a letter indicating (a) the research project you would pursue during the
fellowship period, and (b) your preferred start and end dates; and
– a letter of reference
to the School Manager, Louise Hawksworth (l.hawksworth@leeds.ac.uk).
Applications will be evaluated on a rolling basis, with an initial review of
applications in early April 2016. For consideration in that review,
applications should be received by Thursday, 31 March.
