Leeds: Visiting Fellowships in History & Philosophy of Science
The School of Philosophy, Religion, and History of Science at the
University of Leeds invites applications to its Non-Stipendiary Visiting
Fellowships scheme for the academic year 2017-18.
Visiting fellows will be provided with full library and information
systems access, and office space where possible. There are no formal
duties. Fellows will be expected to pursue their research and
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. The
fellowships are non-stipendiary. 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 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’s Research Support Officer, Isobel Lister (I.Lister@leeds.ac.uk).
Applications will be evaluated on a rolling basis, with an initial
review of applications in early April 2017. To guarantee consideration
in that review, applications should be received by Monday, 3 April.
