QMCECS/BSECS Visiting ECR Fellowship 2015 – Call For Applications

The Queen Mary Centre for Eighteenth-Century Studies is pleased to accept applications for its annual Visiting Fellowship for early career researchers.

The award consists of two parts: from BSECS £400 towards travel and living expenses, and from QMCECS seven nights accommodation in Queen Mary fellows housing on campus at Mile End (equivalent to £350). It will normally involve the Fellow in research in libraries and archives in London, and also in making contacts with QM researchers.

The Fellowship is open to scholars of the ‘long’ eighteenth century (or any part of it) in any discipline. This award is open to early career researchers: any doctoral student at a British university in their second year of study and above, and any post-doctoral researcher normally resident in Britain, within five years of the award of their PhD.

Deadline for applications: 17 January 2015. The award must be taken up in the period February 1 to June 31 (subject to availability of accommodation).

The application form can be downloaded from a link on this page: http://www.qmul.ac.uk/eighteenthcentury/. Please send completed applications, and a CV (1-2 pages), by email to Professor Markman Ellis, Centre for Eighteenth-Century Studies, Queen Mary University of London, London, E1 4NS: m.ellis@qmul.ac.uk. The applications will be assessed by the centre’s governing committee.
