Leverhulme Early Career Fellowships 2022

The School of Business and Management has a diverse community of postdoctoral fellows who contribute to our dynamic research environment.  We welcome enquiries from potential postdoctoral fellows interested in applying for the Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellowship Scheme.

Published:

Applicants wishing to consider applying for the Early Career Fellowships are encouraged to contact a member of staff in the appropriate area of expertise to act as their mentor at least six weeks in advance of the internal deadline. Applications must fit both the funding scheme criteria and the School’s  research profile https://www.qmul.ac.uk/busman/research/

Because these Fellowships require an institutional contribution to match that made by the Leverhulme Trust, only a small number of exceptional applications will be supported. The School is able to nominate a limited number of applications for consideration by a university selection panel. Candidates will be notified in late January whether they have been selected to submit an application to the Leverhulme Trust.

The expressions of interest must include in a single PDF document:

  • a statement confirming eligibility for the scheme - please state in a series of bullet points how you meet the Trust’s eligibility requirements;
  • a proposed start and end date for the award;
  • a 2-page academic CV;
  • An outline research proposal including title, abstract (250 words), statement of past and current research (250 words) and 2 page (A4) project outline, as per the Leverhulme Trust application guidelines.
  • the name of your QMUL mentor, whose support you should secure in advance of your application. See staff profile here https://www.qmul.ac.uk/busman/staff/academic/

Applications should be sent to Saritha Divakar at s.divakar@qmul.ac.uk by 5pm on 7 January 2022.

Initial enquires can be directed to Saritha Divakar, Research Manager at s.divakar@qmul.ac.uk or to a prospective mentor.

Support for postdoctoral researchers in the School of Business and Management

The School of Business and Management at QMUL is a notable centre for the nurture of postdoctoral and early career colleagues. The School operates an internal peer review process in order to support, mentor and manage demand for highly competitive postdoctoral research grants.

Postdoctoral researchers in the School are supported by their research mentors and are part of a vibrant research community. The School runs a weekly research seminar series which runs throughout the year providing opportunities for ECRs to present their research to the School.

The Humanities and Social Sciences Early Career Researchers Network offers support to researchers at the beginning of their academic careers. As well as regular talks and workshops, there are opportunities to meet other ECRs from across the Faculty to share the experience and knowledge in getting careers started.
