The Queen Mary Centre for Eighteenth-Century Studies, in conjunction with the British Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies, is pleased to accept applications for its annual Visiting Fellowship for Early-Career Researchers. Please note that the deadline has been extended to Monday Feb 24 2020.
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 £400). It will normally involve the Fellow in research in libraries and archives in London, and also in making contacts with QM researchers. Your application should make clear the nature of the research you will undertake in London on the award, and its relation to your wider research project or dissertation. Please include a short 2-page CV with your application.
The Fellowship is open to: scholars of the ‘long’ eighteenth century (or any part of it) in any discipline; to early career researchers; to 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: 24 February 2020. The award must be taken up before June 31 2020 (subject to availability of accommodation).
The application form can be downloaded here as a word document (ignore the old date).
