Visiting Fellowship at Leeds (non-stipendiary)
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
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.
