The School of Business and Management at Queen Mary University of London encourages outstanding postdoctoral scholars to apply to the 2018 round of the Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellowship Scheme.
Offering 50% match-funding for the salary costs of a three-year academic research position, the scheme enables early career researchers to undertake a significant piece of publishable work. Applicants must not have held a full-time permanent academic post in a UK university, and must be within four years of their PhD award.
Our diverse community of postdoctoral award holders are an important part of the School’s community, playing a vital part in creating our dynamic research environment. Fellows will become part of the Faculty’s Early Career Researchers (ECRs) Network, involving opportunities to attend research related workshops to enhance career development and meet other ECRs.
The School of Business and Management aspires to be a world-leading, research-intensive school focused on using social science for social change. By 2021 the School will be known for the quality of its research, engagement and impact. Our vision is for our research to promote social justice, sustainability and good governance in the management of private, public and voluntary organisations.
We aim to conduct high quality, cutting-edge empirical and theoretical contemporary and historical research that bridges disciplinary and methodological boundaries and addresses the most challenging and pressing issues in business and society. We aim to participate in and influence evidence-informed academic and policy-making conversations on topical, complex and difficult social, economic, cultural or environmental challenges nationally, and internationally, and in our local East London setting in order to achieve social impact from our academic work.
